For UK private dental practices
New private patient acquisition is too slow and too expensive
Most dental practices have no reliable, predictable channel for acquiring new private patients. They rely on organic referrals and occasional advertising without knowing what's actually working.

From Paul
Tell me where that £20,880 is coming from, and I'll come back with the three things to fix first.
A few quick questions, about two minutes, and no typing. I read every one myself and reply with the three things costing you most and where I'd start. If it's useful, we talk. If not, you've still got a clear picture.
No obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one, and nothing automated lands in your inbox.
Paul, Solvable
- Acquisition activity is intermittent and untracked
- Channel performance is unknown
- Reliance on passive word of mouth
- Recall and referral channels are underused
How to fix it
Track every new patient back to its source to see what works Build a steady acquisition plan rather than occasional pushes Strengthen referral and recall channels alongside new marketing
Frequently asked questions
Why does this problem persist?
