Free · Custom · No Obligation

Your practice is leaking patients. Google’s AI is sending them to your competitor.

Your reviews are glowing and your chairs are full. But when patients ask Google’s AI for implants, veneers or Invisalign, it names the practice down the road instead of you. We’ll show you exactly where you’re losing the high-value cases, and how to win them back. Free, custom, and yours to keep.

No contract to sign. No sales pressure. Keep the plan no matter what you decide.

The argument Gary Takacs has made for years

You’re already paying a marketing fee. It’s just going to the insurance companies.

Every patient who walks in through an insurance plan costs you a slice of every dollar you produce. Smart digital marketing brings in patients who choose you, at a fraction of the cost.

Insurance dependency
38–44%

of every dollar, written off

Patients picked by their plan, not by your quality. It pushes the average practice’s overhead toward 80%. That write-off is really just a marketing fee you never chose to pay.

Targeted digital marketing
< 1.4%

of production, reinvested in growth

Attract insurance-independent patients who found you, trust you, and chose you. The same dollars that vanished into write-offs now compound into real practice growth.

The fix isn’t spending more. It’s redirecting what you already spend toward patients who say yes to better care. That’s exactly what your free strategy session maps out.

What You Walk Away With

Not a sales pitch. A diagnosis of your practice.

Before we meet, our team studies your practice and builds a custom report. Here’s the kind of thing it reveals, and it’s yours to keep.

The Reputation-vs-Visibility Gap

You can be #1 for cleanings and invisible where the margin is.

Most thriving practices dominate “family dentist” and the routine searches, then disappear for implants, veneers, Invisalign, whitening and emergencies. Those are the cases that pay. We show you, search by search, exactly where your hard-won reputation isn’t turning into high-value visibility, and which competitor is showing up instead.

Three simple steps

A real strategy, not a sales pitch

We do the homework before we ever meet. You leave with a plan in hand, whether or not you work with us.

1

We study your practice

Before the call, our team reviews your website, your rankings, your reviews and your local market, so the meeting is about you and not some generic deck.

2

We build your custom plan

On a relaxed 30–45 minute call, we walk you through exactly where new patients are being lost and the specific moves to win them back.

3

You walk away with it, free

Implement the plan with Ekwa, or take it and run it yourself. No contract, no pressure. The strategy is yours to keep either way.
