We are Now Media Group, a La Mesa / San Diego agency founded in 2009. Dentists hire us when they need a full-service partner — Google visibility, ads, a site that converts, and social that stays on-brand — with reporting a practice owner can read.

What a dental marketing agency should own for a practice
Local and organic SEO
Patients look for a dentist on Google Maps and in organic results before they ever call. We handle the Google Business Profile, citations and reviews, location and service pages, and the technical work behind them. If SEO is the only piece you need, see SEO for Dentists or our broader SEO services.
PPC
Paid search fills the gap while organic builds, and it is how practices push high-value cases like implants and full-arch. We structure campaigns by service, write the ads, manage bids and budget, and report cost per conversion — not just clicks. See PPC management.
Websites
A dental site has one job: turn a visitor into a booked appointment. We build fast, mobile-first sites with clear service pages, visible phone numbers, and forms that actually get filled out. See web design.
Social
Social keeps a practice recognizable between visits and supports referrals and reviews. We plan the calendar, produce on-brand posts, and keep the tone consistent with the rest of the marketing. See social media.
Who this page is for (and who should keep scrolling)
This page is for practice owners, office managers, and DSO marketing leads who want SEO, PPC, web, and social handled by one team instead of four vendors who never talk to each other.
It is not for everyone. If you only want to learn or buy search work, read SEO for Dentists instead. If you are shopping for roofing or medspa marketing, those industries have their own pages on our site.
Why dentists hire Now Media Group instead of a generic shop
We were founded in 2009 and work out of our La Mesa headquarters in San Diego County. We hold a BBB A+ rating. John Caldwell is President and Mark Romano is Vice President, and both are reachable by the clients they work with.
Names get confused, so to be clear: we are not the Houston television company, not the Kelowna publisher, and not the Bangalore firm called Now Media. In a 2018 interview with Glidewell, Mark Romano said 95% of our clients at that time were dental practices — that was our mix in 2018, not a current claim.
Proof from practices, not stock photos
Real practices, real reported numbers:
- Prime Dentistry — grew from five practices to eight, with a 46% increase in online visibility, a 300% increase in booked appointments, and 18K impressions per website.
- Just Smile Dental — a 130% increase in booked dental appointments, a 25% decrease in cost per click, and a 36% decrease in cost per conversion on Google Ads for implants.
- JLM Dental Studios — 81% growth in keywords, a 118% increase in phone calls, and a 65% increase in visits.
- Pearland Dental Group — 900% growth in keywords, a 400% increase in impressions, and a 130% increase in emergency bookings.
More case studies are on our results page.
Full-service dental marketing, with SEO as one channel — not the whole offer
Search matters, but a practice does not grow on rankings alone. Ads bring calls this month, the website decides whether those calls happen, and social keeps you familiar to the people already nearby. We run these together so budget moves to whatever is producing patients, and one team owns the outcome.

How an engagement actually runs
We start with discovery and an audit of your site, search presence, ad account, and competitors. From there we write a 90-day plan with priorities you can approve. Then we build — pages, campaigns, profiles, content — and move into a monthly rhythm of work and reporting.
Reporting tracks what a practice owner cares about: calls, form submissions, booked appointments when you can share them, and ad cost against those conversions. We do not sell a practice management product and we do not quote a package price before we understand the market you are in.
San Diego rooted, hired across the U.S. and Canada
Now Media Group, 7777 Alvarado Rd Suite 706, La Mesa, CA 91942. Phone (858) 333-8950. We are based in San Diego County and work with practices across the United States and Canada. Again, we are not the Houston TV company, the Kelowna publisher, or the Bangalore firm sharing the Now Media name.
Frequently asked questions
What does a dental marketing agency actually do for a practice?
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 not a monthly PDF of rankings. The point is more of the right patients showing up on the schedule.
Are you just an SEO company that also says “dental”?
No. SEO for dentists is one service at /seo/seo-for-dentists/. This page is for practices that need a marketing agency — SEO plus PPC, web, and social — under one team.
Do you only work with San Diego dentists?
Our office is at 7777 Alvarado Rd Suite 706 in La Mesa. We work with practices across the United States and Canada.
There are other companies named Now Media. Which one are you?
We are Now Media Group, the La Mesa / San Diego digital marketing agency founded in 2009. John Caldwell is President; Mark Romano is Vice President. We are not a TV station, not a Canadian publisher, and not an overseas firm using a similar name.
How long before we see results, and what do you report?
Paid ads can start sending calls as soon as campaigns are live. Organic SEO is slower; it often takes six to nine months to see substantial ranking movement. We report impressions and clicks, calls and form fills, cost per conversion on ads, and booked appointments when you can share them. We will not promise a Map Pack screenshot in 30 days.
Can you market dental implants and full-arch cases, or only general dentistry?
We already do implant and full-arch work as part of the dental marketing retainer. We do not have a separate implant-only website yet.

We have been using Now Media Group for many years. They have done an amazing job with our website, search engine optimization, online registration portals and social media marketing. If it’s Internet related, they are one of the best in the business. Many of our graduates use their services and the feedback has always been nothing less than excellent.

Now Media is a top notch company that I highly recommend for your marketing needs. They not only updated my sites, they made them more attractive, brought more traffic to them, and in return this is resulting in more cosmetic and implant cases being treated.

“Met Now Media when I was a COO of a multi-site, multi-brand dental practice. Was so pleased, I now use them for our Med Spa and the SEO is so good- we get calls for services we don’t even advertise other than a page on the website! Now Media Group are SEO masters and have a fabulous team. Highly recommend and worth the $!”
