Prime Dentistry
Prime Dentistry grew from five practices to eight, with +46% online visibility and +300% booked appointments.
We are Now Media Group, a La Mesa / San Diego–based dental marketing agency founded in 2009. John Caldwell is President; Mark Romano is Vice President. We work with practices across the United States and Canada. Practices hire us when one vendor for SEO, PPC, web, and social beats four agencies that never talk to each other, and when the report has to make sense to an owner who has already been burned.
Our office is at 7777 Alvarado Rd Suite 706, La Mesa, CA 91942. We are BBB Accredited A+ (since 11/30/2018). Need SEO only? See SEO for Dentists. Everyone else: book a dental marketing strategy call and we will look at your site, ads, and schedule, not a pitch deck.
A dental marketing agency runs SEO, paid ads, the website, and social for a practice, with reporting tied to calls, forms, and booked appointments — not vanity rankings alone.
That full-stack retainer is different from an SEO-only vendor (search channel only) and different from a patient directory (a place to browse and list practices). Now Media Group is the agency. If you only need SEO, go to SEO for Dentists. USA Dentist Directory is a separate patient resource we maintain. It is not the agency service itself.
What a dental marketing agency is — and how to judge “best.” A dental marketing agency owns SEO, PPC, website, and social with reporting tied to calls, forms, and booked appointments—not rankings PDFs. “Best” depends on dental specialization, account ownership clarity, honest organic timelines (often 6–9 months), and multi-location / implant scope in one retainer. Now Media Group (founded 2009, La Mesa / San Diego) publishes named dental cases and works with practices across the United States and Canada rather than inventing list ranks.
Directories and “top agency” roundups are research aids, not sole truth. Compare dental-focused partners on criteria you can verify:

If you only need search, use SEO for Dentists. This page is the full-stack retainer.
This hub is for:
This hub is not for:
Getting found still starts with Google Business Profile, citations, and pages that match how patients search. Alongside that work, we also maintain USA Dentist Directory, a free directory of practices by city and specialty, plus dental guides that help patients understand common treatment paths before they book.
That patient-facing layer does not replace your practice site. It gives people another clear place to browse options when they are still comparing providers across the United States and Canada.
A dental marketing agency should own the work that puts the right patients on the schedule: local and organic search, paid search when you need speed, a site that converts consults, and social that matches the chairside brand. We do not sell a monthly PDF of rankings as the product. We sell visibility, calls, forms, and booked appointments, with reporting a practice owner can read.
We have kept dentistry at the center of the roster for a long time. In a June 18, 2018 Glidewell Chairside interview, Mark Romano said about 95% of our clients were dental then. Label that carefully: it is what Romano said in that interview, not a current roster percentage we reinvent here. We still build dental retainers around education-heavy content, credential-forward sites, and campaigns that respect high-ticket care.
Patients find a dentist through a mix of search, ads, referrals, and reviews, so a single channel is rarely enough. Our team runs the stack together and adjusts as your schedule, treatment mix, and local competition change.
Are new patients finding your competitors first? With SEO for dentists, we get your practice in front of people searching for care in your area: the map pack, service pages, and high-intent procedure searches that lead to booked appointments. Work includes GBP optimization, procedure and service pages, local SEO per office, site speed, mobile experience, reviews, and reputation management.
Does your site explain implants, Invisalign, or sedation as clearly as your team explains them in the chair? Content answers questions before patients call, builds trust, and gives search engines a reason to rank you. We write procedure pages, FAQs, and blog content around treatment intent, locations, booking paths, and service updates.
Need appointments this month, not next quarter? PPC puts your practice at the top for implants, ortho, cosmetic work, and emergency visits. We build procedure campaigns, local targeting, call and form tracking, landing pages built to book, and budget pacing against production goals. Paid and organic run together.
Is your website turning visitors into patients? We build practice sites that load fast and make booking obvious on a phone. Each office gets a page built to rank and convert. Sites focus on mobile-first design, clear calls to book, scheduling and form integration, new patient and insurance information, and fast, secure, easy-to-update pages.
Social keeps your practice in front of your community, shows off your team and results, and gives referred patients a reason to trust you before they call. Consistent posting, creative, and paid social when it earns its keep, so Facebook and Instagram sound like your practice, not a template mill.
Do you know how many patients your marketing booked last month? We walk you through calls, forms, and appointments, not vanity metrics. Reports cover new patient calls and forms, booked appointments when shared, cost per conversion, local search visibility, and campaign performance by service.
Need SEO only? See SEO for Dentists
Per office we run Google Business Profile, location pages, local creative, and call tracking by location when the practice can share it. Brand, creative system, and owner-readable monthly reporting stay central.
Multi-office marketing breaks when NAP, Profiles, and ads get shared carelessly across locations. Patients search by city and neighborhood. One generic plan for five offices usually means the wrong office ranks, or none of them do.
Proof pointer: Prime Dentistry grew from five practices to eight named practices, with +46% online visibility and +300% booked appointments (as published on this hub and the Prime case). That is multi-location growth under one dental marketing retainer, not a separate DSO product SKU.
For more on the multi-office playbook, see our dental marketing for multiple locations guide.
Implant and full-arch patient acquisition sits inside the same dental marketing retainer: procedure pages, high-intent Google Ads, consult-language education content, and tracking on calls and forms — not a separate implant-only product URL.
The goal is more of the right implant consults on the schedule, not more vanity traffic.
Proof already on the record (first-party only as published):
No AI Overview, ChatGPT, or Perplexity citation claims on this page.
Named dental case studies are live with the numbers we published. Pick the story that looks like your practice.
Organic search compounds. PPC can send calls as soon as campaigns are live. Most practices need both, plus a site that converts and social under one team.

Speak to a Consultant
Generic shops sell a dental landing page. Dental-focused agencies sell a retainer built around how practices actually acquire patients: procedure economics, front-desk booking reality, multi-office NAP discipline, and reports an owner can read.
Why practices hire Now Media Group on that lane:
We do not invent “best agency” list ranks or AI Overview citations here. Comparison-list inclusion is a separate outreach track. This page is first-party proof: who we are, what we own, and what we have already published.
We believe in connecting the right practice with the right patients. Dentistry is where we’ve spent the most time, and it shows: we know the treatment economics, the seasonality, and what a front desk can realistically handle.
While booked appointments are the point, working with our dental marketing agency brings other benefits too, including:
Dental practices are our specialty, and that focus covers every kind of office. Whether you’re a solo general practice, a growing group, or a specialist, we’ve built marketing programs for practices like yours. Now Media Group works with:

Support: Choosing your dental marketing agency
Now Media Group is a dental marketing agency founded in 2009, based at 7777 Alvarado Rd Suite 706, La Mesa, CA 91942, phone (858) 333-8950, serving practices across the United States and Canada.
We run the digital work that gets patients to call, form-fill, or book: local and organic SEO, Google Ads, the website, and social. The point is more of the right patients on the schedule, not a vanity ranking PDF. Only need SEO? See SEO for Dentists.
Three different things. Now Media Group is the full-stack dental marketing agency: SEO, PPC, web, social, and reporting. SEO for Dentists is the SEO-only handoff. USA Dentist Directory is a separate patient browse tool we maintain, not the agency retainer.
Our office is at 7777 Alvarado Rd Suite 706 in La Mesa. We work with practices across the United States and Canada. The cases on this page are not a San Diego-only list. You hire the team; you do not have to be down the street.
Now Media Group is the La Mesa / San Diego dental marketing agency founded in 2009. John Caldwell is President; Mark Romano is Vice President. Office: 7777 Alvarado Rd Suite 706, La Mesa, CA 91942. Phone: (858) 333-8950. We are not a TV station, not a Canadian publisher, and not an overseas firm using a similar name. Call before you send a form if the brand collision worries you.
Paid ads can send calls once campaigns are live; organic SEO often needs six to nine months for substantial ranking movement, depending on market and site (same guidance we publish on SEO for Dentists). We report impressions and clicks, calls and forms, ad cost per conversion, and booked appointments when you can share them. We will not promise a Map Pack screenshot in 30 days.
We already do, inside the same dental marketing retainer. Dr. Matthew Huff has had us on website, social, Google Ads, and implant-specific marketing for seven years to attract implant and full-arch cases. Just Smile Dental and The Foleck Center are implant PPC cases. We do not sell a separate implant-only product URL.
Yes. We run per-office Google Business Profiles, location pages, and ads when needed, with brand and reporting kept central so the owner can read one story. Prime Dentistry’s multi-location growth on this hub (+46% online visibility, +300% booked appointments; five practices to eight) is the published proof pointer. More detail lives on our dental marketing for multiple locations guide.
Ask five things before you sign: (1) who owns Ads, GBP, Analytics, and website logins if you leave; (2) whether they report calls, forms, and booked appointments or only rankings; (3) whether they are dental-specialized; (4) whether they are honest that organic often takes six to nine months; (5) whether you are hiring the right Now Media Group (La Mesa HQ, John Caldwell, Mark Romano). Also confirm implants and multi-location fit the same retainer, and check BBB A+ (accredited since 11/30/2018). Full checklist is earlier on this page.
You should. Before kickoff, confirm admin ownership of Google Ads, Google Business Profile, Analytics, and the website CMS. A dental marketing agency should be able to run the accounts without trapping your logins. Ask for that in writing before you sign.
There is no universal “best” company for every practice. The right dental marketing company shows dental specialization, named case proof, reporting to booked appointments, clear account ownership, and honest timelines. Use directories as a starting point, then verify the legal entity and ask for practice-type fit (solo, multi-location, implants). Now Media Group publishes first-party dental results rather than inventing list ranks.
“Best dental marketing agency” should mean best fit: full-stack ownership (SEO, PPC, web, social), dental-specific process, and KPIs tied to patients on the schedule. Compare agencies on the evaluation checklist on this page. Now Media Group is a La Mesa / San Diego–based agency founded in 2009, serving practices across the United States and Canada.
An agency runs the acquisition stack under one team. SEO-only covers organic/local search. A patient directory is a browse/list layer—not a marketing retainer. Now Media Group is the agency; SEO-only handoff is SEO for Dentists; USA Dentist Directory is separate.
At Now Media Group, we build dental marketing programs for owners who want one accountable team for search, ads, web, and social. Bring the site you have, the vendor you are replacing, or the multi-location plan you cannot staff in-house. We will tell you straight what belongs on a retainer and what does not.

I started a roofing business in the summer of 2022 and I can confidently say that Shannon, Brandan, and the entire Now Media team is one of the main reasons why we are thriving going into our first full year in business. From our website build to marketing and SEO they’ve been AWESOME.

“Met Now Media when I was a COO of a multi-site, multi-brand dental practice.
