FAQ For Grandeur Business Consulting
What are the Types of Companies Do You Work With?
We are asked this question often, as much of our clientele is through direct referrals or word of mouth as being one of the top marketing agencies in our specialty, so unfortunately we need to turn down many requests.
Here is our criteria:
1) Your company has been in business at least 3 years.
2) Your company must do a minimum of $3 million revenue, OR you company has at least 2 locations.
3) You must be seeking aggressive growth for your company.
What Should My Marketing Budget Be?
The Small Business Administration suggests that businesses under $5 million in revenue should spend somewhere between 7% and 8% of revenue on marketing.
However, Each industry is unique and what we find, along with other dental experts, is that somewhere between 5% and 7% is typically an effective level of investment if you are looking to maintain and/or grow your practice.
What is The Average Acquisition Cost For a New Patient?
$250. From our experience most clinic average $250 per patient. While this may differ in geographic areas you can use this as a benchmark. The goal is to tracking all channels of marketing and eliminate the higher cost ones and invest more in the lower cost channels.
This also depends of the type of dentistry you practice.
For instance, the highest allowable cost for a new patient is in cosmetic dentistry, where cost per patient can be 5X that of general dentistry.
The percentages can go up or down depending on various other internal and external factors. Some examples of such factors are; level of competition in your area, legal requirements, political changes, market fluctuation, organizational direction, staffing needs or changes, stage of growth the practice is currently in, and so on.
How Fast Can I Expect Results?
This is also significantly impacted by the above internal and external factors. There are some elements of your online presence and internet marketing that take longer, but have longer lasting results.There are ways to expedite results while you wait for the other elements to gain traction. A healthy balance of each will give you a good blend and the typically, most desirable results for your practice, so that you can get both the quickest and the longest lasting impact.
What Are Your Prices?
You want to know what having a company like Grandeur Consulting help you grow your practice costs, and we want to tell you! Unfortunately, having a fixed price for dental internet marketing would be like making every Olympic runner wear the same size shoe – there’s no one size fits all. If someone tells you there is, this should be cause for concern.
Think of it this way, it would make no sense for you to prescribe a plan of care for a patient needing your help, without actually ever looking into that patient’s mouth. That’s why we customize a strategy that’s right for you. Our approach is not the same in all areas, every marketing campaign is unique, every website is unique, and every strategy is unique – this is because your practice is unique.
Our prices are typically based on your current situation, with packages starting around $1,800 per month, while most common programs come in around $2500-$4000/mo. for top marketing SEO and website visibility.
For a complete marketing system that includes full online visibility and SEO rankings, credibility with reputation management, and full marketing plan with both online and offline exposure (40% online, 60% offline) that has the most complete lead generation system along with sales process completion, runs from $6,500 – $28,000 monthly.
The top marketing program includes on-going branding of your practice and is a complete growth system.
*NOTE – This question regarding pricing, ties in to the question “How much should I budget for best marketing results, and for how many months?”
This response is important to understand the complete picture of costs regarding your dental practice.
Obviously the pricing will depend on the aggressiveness of the marketing program.
This complete package is used by the most aggressive dental practices that usually have more than one practice (2-5) and wish to dominate their category and location areas, and be THE Go-To dentist.

What Makes Your Company Different?
We believe there are many things that make us different. The main component that doctors want to know is that we focus on your results.
We don’t focus solely on website traffic, clicks or SEO, what we want is more patients in your chair. This is because that is what you care about. We are growing your practice together and truly understand that your success is our success.

We do this to convert patients searching online, to patients in your office and do so methodically, by focusing on how potential patients interact with the dental industry, the internet, marketing and each other to make their decisions on who to choose. Every practice we work with has a custom tailored marketing campaign that we create based on their unique situation. No more cookie-cutter designs, no more templated websites. Just beautiful, highly converting websites, with robust content to help your practice get the new patients you desire.
Do you require contracts?
The short answer, is Yes.
We will assess your unique situation to decide what will be best for you. A part of creating the strategy for your practice will be for us to help you determine what will be the best way to get the results you desire with the tools we know how to use.
