    You’ll learn:

    This is not about doing more.

  • 2026 Oral Surgeon Marketing Plan

    🦷 Your 2026 Surgeon Marketing Plan

    Stop guessing and start planning your growth with clarity.

    Your 2026 Surgeon Marketing Plan is a strategic, numbers-first training built specifically for independently owned oral surgery practices that want a clear, measurable path to growth in 2026.

    In this session, we focus on helping you work on your practice, not just in it. December is the ideal time to step back, review performance, and intentionally plan what success should look like next year.

    This is not theory or vague marketing advice. It’s a math-based, practical framework that connects patient inquiries, consultations, case acceptance, and average case value to real revenue outcomes, then shows you how marketing supports each stage.

    🔍 What You’ll Learn

    • Know Your Numbers
      The five core KPIs every oral surgeon should track monthly, and how they directly influence revenue growth.
    • From Goals to Reality
      How to translate annual revenue targets into inquiry volume, consultation targets, and case acceptance benchmarks.
    • Smart Marketing Budgeting
      How much to invest in marketing for maintenance vs. growth, and how to allocate budgets across online marketing, referrals, retargeting, and patient nurture.
    • Online Strategies That Actually Drive Patients
      Where Google Ads, Local Service Ads, SEO, reviews, and local visibility fit into a modern oral surgery growth plan.
    • Trends Shaping 2026
      Automation, AI, texting, online scheduling, and how patients are increasingly finding and choosing oral surgeons through platforms like ChatGPT and Google.
    • Three Clear Action Targets
      Walk away with specific, actionable priorities you can implement immediately to improve patient flow and marketing performance in 2026.

    🎯 Who This Is For

    This training is ideal for oral surgeons who:

    • Run a small to mid-sized, independently owned practice
    • Want clarity around inquiries, consultations, and revenue
    • Are tired of “hoping” marketing works instead of measuring it
    • Want a realistic, executable plan for 2026 growth
    • Prefer data, structure, and strategy over hype

    Whether your growth comes from referrals, online marketing, or a mix of both, this session helps you connect the dots between marketing spend, patient behavior, and real revenue, so you can plan 2026 with confidence.

    Hosted by the founder of Oral Surgeon Marketing Pros, author of Drill Down: Digital Marketing Strategies for Oral Surgeons, and a Google Partner with over a decade of experience helping medical practices generate consistent, high-quality patient inquiries.
