For dental marketing agencies

Call the practice that already knows it has a problem.

A rating in free-fall or a half-finished website rebuild is a practice that has admitted something is wrong. Those are the only cold calls in dentistry that are not cold.

The moment this pays for itself

A practice drops from 4.8 to 4.1 in six weeks. You open with the pattern in their reviews rather than with your agency's capabilities deck.

What to work first

Your four event types, in order.

Everyone gets all seven. These are the ones that map onto your week.

Review collapsefirst

Their rating is falling and they know it.

Rating or review velocity drops sharply against the previous observation.

Tech change#2

They rebuilt the site or swapped a system.

A change in the practice site's own markup: new booking widget, new PMS, full rebuild.

New opening#3

A practice exists this week that did not exist last week.

A location with no prior record appears, cross-checked against license issuance.

Ownership change#4

Somebody new is signing the checks.

New owner, DSO acquisition, or a name change on the practice record.

We are not projecting how many you will win. That is your close rate on your territory. This only shows how much of one commission the subscription costs.

The fair objection

Review data is free, I can watch this myself.

For twenty practices, yes. A collapse is only visible against a previous observation, so watching two thousand practices weekly across three states is the entire job. That is the part we do.
