About this episode

Neil Zemba discusses effective dental marketing strategies and the importance of hygiene recall programs.

Neil Zemba, founder and CEO of Rise DDS, breaks down what most dental marketing reports miss and how practices can link ads to real production. He shares why colorful dashboards full of clicks and impressions often hide low quality leads, and why “noise vs money” is the only output that matters. Neil explains how better attribution can show which keywords actually drive revenue, including why implant marketing performs better when you use plain language like “my tooth fell out” instead of jargon. He also makes a strong case for starting with a rip roaring hygiene recall program before spending on ads, including a benchmark that many practices only make about 350 recall attempts a month. Plus, Neil previews Rise Maps, a community and patient mapping approach that blends supply, demand, and patient location insights to sharpen marketing decisions. https://risedds.com/ https://teamcaredental.com/
