Pain 01.
Three new patients a month from organic search is not enough — the recall cadence is the actual line that carries the practice, and it sits idle when the six-month drip breaks.

Vertical 01-A / Main-Street Dental Practices
Three new patients a month from organic search is not enough four channels run rightcovers the month.
Main-Street dentistry — independent practices with one or two operatories, hygiene chairs running on a six-month recall cadence, and a front desk that knows every patient by name. The plan below is the long-tail read of the dental bundle: the four channels re-spaced for the practice where one hygiene booking covers the line on the bank statement, and a slow Tuesday costs the owner a weekend.

Section 01 / The vertical pain calls
What breaks first when a Main-Street practice only runs organic.
The 4 lines below come up on every scoping call we run for a vertical like dental-practices. The plan that follows is anchored to whichever one the practice most needs to move first.
Pain 02.
The GBP's Q&A goes unanswered for weeks, so the local who searches 'dentist near me' sees a stale profile and calls the practice with the next GBP down the road.
Pain 03.
The paid ads line runs hot on clicks and cold on booked hygiene — the dental front desk wants a booked appointment, not a click attributed to a form-fill the patient never sends back.
Pain 04.
Recall mailers stop a year after the practice sets them up, because the front desk has no time to draft them and the previous agency stopped sending the next month.
Section 02 / 4-part deliverables
What Cobblemark runs, month to month.
4 deliverables, scoped to the vertical so the work ties to the line the practice carries to the bank — not to a vanity chart that ships once a month.
Deliverable 01
Local SEO dominance — "dentist near me"
Map-pack rankings anchored to the queries that book hygiene chairs — "family dentist greater boston," "emergency dentist near me," "teeth cleaning south end." Not a national keyword map a single-location practice can never win.
Deliverable 02
Patient-review and reputation flywheel
A weekly review asks, owner-voiced reply cadence under one business day, Q&A handled within twenty-four hours, and a monthly photo drop the front desk pulls from. The GBP turns into the asset the front desk actually opens on a Monday morning.
Deliverable 03
Recall email cadence
Lapsed-patient segment audit, a six-month and twelve-month reactivation flow, insurance-eligibility reminders timed to plan-year cliffs, and a monthly broadcast the front desk pre-approves before it ships. Hygiene chairs stay full the week the recall slack would have left them empty.
Deliverable 04
Paid search for high-value procedures
Google Search campaigns running against the procedure economics — implants, cosmetics, full-mouth restoration — not against the click volume the platform wants to optimize. Geo-fenced within the drive radius, dayparted around the patient who is in pain tonight, not the patient who is just browsing.
Section 03 / The vertical-score card
The 4 lines this bundle moves.
Anchored to revenue, not impressions. Each line below is the one a practice owner would defend on a Monday morning stand-up.
1hygiene booking covers the month of operating cost
6-moreactivation cadence — the cheapest booked chair
24 hrGBP Q&A reply — same-business-day, owner-voiced

Section 03-A / Social proof strip
Approved dental stories, served from the press gallery.
The strip below pulls from public approved testimonials — same wire as the /testimonials gallery, filtered to this vertical so the page stays focused on the work the reader's vertical does.
Section 05 / The closing letter
Pick the next step — pricing, case studies, or scope the engagement.
Three paths end at the same scoping call. Pick the one that fits the line of the buyer — see the cost,read the work,or write us directly.
