The challenge

Known for the work, *less visible in Leeds search.*

HQ Dental is one of the largest combined dental surgeries and laboratories in the UK. The surgery provides cosmetic dental care including teeth whitening, orthodontics, Invisalign, dental implants and composite bonding, and its Leeds laboratory is equipped for technicians and clinicians to work collaboratively. The clinical team includes a specialist oral surgeon, implant surgeons, general dentists, CDTs and hygienists, with dental care technicians involved at every stage of treatment.

When HQ Dental came to Ascensor, it was already very successful in its field, with a steady stream of five-star reviews. It felt its digital presence wasn't quite reflecting its expertise, and wanted to raise its profile specifically in the Leeds area of West Yorkshire and push its most profitable services.

The brief was to increase organic search rankings, traffic and conversions, especially for patient services pages and Leeds-related keywords.

The B2B lead generation system

The parts of the system we used.

This programme used three parts of the system. SEO and PPC brought in people searching for HQ Dental's key services, landing pages turned those visits into calls and forms, and Facebook lead campaigns reached the audience for dentures.

The system diagram is drawn here by the page script, lighting the parts that have copy below.
01

Platform

The heart

Dedicated landing pages for Invisalign and same-day dentures, designed with Hotjar insight. Same-day denture patients phoned more than they filled in forms, so the phone call became the first call to action.

02

CRM & data

The brain

03

Reactive

Availability

New and re-optimised content for target keywords across patient services and Leeds-related terms, combined with PPC aimed at the same services. Target keywords have risen since July 2021, with several first-page rankings.

04

Proactive

Broadcast

Two in-app lead generation campaigns on Facebook, one for All on 4 and one for dentures, using location and demographic targeting to support the denture services as the lab team expanded.

What we did

Search, landing pages and social, *each aimed at a profitable service.*

Square 1:1
Step 01

Optimise for Leeds

After a comprehensive review, we created new on-page content and optimised existing content to rank for target keywords, focusing on the patient services pages and Leeds-related terms.

Step 02

Build service landing pages

Our design team created landing pages for key services including Invisalign and same-day dentures, built to lift traffic and conversions. Each page was tailored to its target audience, and Hotjar showed how people used the other pages for that service, so every page put goal completions first.

For same-day dentures, HQ Dental received more phone calls than form submissions, so the phone number became the first call to action on the landing page and the form the supplementary one.

Step 03

Add paid search and social

PPC ran alongside SEO for the same services and keywords, so enquiries and conversions grew in line with the services HQ Dental wanted to push.

To support the growth of its denture services after the lab team expanded, we ran two in-app lead campaigns on Facebook: All on 4, and an overall denture campaign covering same-day dentures, single dentures and repairs. Facebook's location and demographic targeting let us reach the right people, and its shift to an older user base suited the All on 4 and denture audience.

  • Facebook lead ads
  • Paid social

In their words

We approached Ascensor because of their excellent track record in improving clients' ROI through digital marketing. We were aware we operate in a competitive sector, but from the outset Ascensor set out a clear roadmap of what they would achieve and when, and the activity that would enable this. The results so far have been fantastic.
