Challenges

Intense Competition in Metropolitan Cities

Clove Dental faced strong competition from both large hospital chains and numerous independent dental clinics, making it difficult to capture and retain patient attention.

Low-Quality Leads

A significant portion of inquiries were irrelevant or unqualified, leading to wasted time, effort, and resources for the clinic teams.

Uneven Lead Distribution

Some clinics were overloaded with leads while others received very few, creating operational imbalances and underutilization of capacity.

High Cost per Acquisition (CPA)

Despite heavy marketing investments, the cost of acquiring new patients was high, reducing overall marketing efficiency and return on investment.

Solutions

Hyper-local Targeting

Campaigns were localised to target patients within defined catchment areas, ensuring greater relevance and higher engagement.

Keyword Segmentation

Search campaigns were segmented by specific treatments (such as dental implants, orthodontics, and root canal procedures) to capture high-intent prospects.

Conversion-Oriented Landing Pages

Customised landing pages were designed with treatment-specific content, clear calls-to-action, and localised clinic details to improve appointment bookings.

Call and Lead Quality Tracking

Tracking systems were implemented to monitor inquiries and filter out low-quality leads, thereby enabling clinical teams to prioritise genuine patient prospects.

Treatment-Specific Campaigns

Dedicated campaigns were launched for high-value treatments to align marketing communication with patient intent and increase conversion rates.

Performance Outcomes

24% Increase in Conversion Rate

Optimised landing pages and precise targeting significantly increased the likelihood that inquiries would convert into appointments.

10.13% Reduction in Average Cost per Click (CPC)

Refined keyword segmentation and ad relevance contributed to lower click costs, maximising reach within the same budget.

5% Decrease in Cost per Acquisition (CPA)

Improved targeting and lead quality drove a reduction in the overall cost of acquiring each new patient.

Enhanced Visibility

Campaigns generated 20 million additional impressions and 500k+ additional clicks within six months, significantly strengthening Clove Dental’s digital presence.

Balanced Lead Distribution

Strategic campaign structuring ensured equitable lead allocation across more than 650+ clinics, resolving the challenge of underutilised centres and maintaining consistent patient engagement.
