If you’re using a digital marketing firm to manage your Google Ads, there will also be a charge for the keyword research, design, and management of the ad strategy.
How do Google Ads campaigns work?
Google Ads target your local market and use specific, frequently-searched keywords. In other words, when users search for dentists in specific geographic areas, your ad will appear. Ads appear in both search results and maps. Commonly used and effective Google Ads campaigns for dentists include dental implants, extractions, new patient special pricing, and monthly specials on select services (Invisalign, teeth whitening, etc.).
