July set a new July benchmark
New patient numbers finished at 56, making this the strongest July across the five-year comparison and pushing 2026 to the best January-to-July total so far.
Call volume and paid landing-page response strengthened in July, while the main opportunity remains improving Invisalign follow-up so more enquiries progress into booked appointments.
July kept the practice commercially active, with record same-month new-patient performance, stronger call volume, and another solid month of booked consults.
New patient numbers finished at 56, making this the strongest July across the five-year comparison and pushing 2026 to the best January-to-July total so far.
The clinic booked 21 consultations from 46 general enquiries, while calls rose to 76 with a 97.4% answer rate.
Landing-page response strengthened through paid search, but Invisalign conversion remained weak: 22 leads came in, 14 stalled after contact, and only 2 reached appointment booked.
July combined solid appointment flow and stronger call demand, with the clearest gap remaining the conversion of Invisalign enquiries into booked appointments.
July finished at 56, above the prior July range of 37 to 45, and kept 2026 ahead on a January-to-July basis.
July finished 11 new patients above the previous July high of 45.
January to July 2026 now leads the comparison set, ahead of every prior year over the same seven months.

At 56 new patients, July exceeded the previous July high of 45 across the historical comparison.
January to July 2026 now totals 436 new patients. That puts the year 10 ahead of 2022, 18 ahead of 2023, and comfortably clear of 2024 and 2025 over the same seven months.
July eased back from June’s exceptional 81, but it still outperformed every earlier July and kept the 2026 year-to-date total in first place.
July creative output combined fresh organic content with the ad assets that continued supporting active campaigns.
General enquiry quality stayed commercially solid, while Invisalign demand rose but still failed to convert enough of that volume into booked appointments.
Potential values reflect the estimated value recorded against each enquiry, not realised revenue.
Most enquiries came through inbound calls, with a smaller share tied to Google Ads and webchat.
General enquiries are still converting into booked consultations, but the larger issue sits earlier in the conversation. With almost as many leads ending as not interested as booked, the priority is less about generating more enquiries and more about tightening expectation-setting, treatment framing, and front-desk qualification so more suitable leads progress.
Potential values reflect the estimated value recorded against each enquiry, not realised revenue.
Lead generation was not the issue here. All 22 enquiries were attributed to Facebook Ads, but only 2 progressed to appointment booked while 14 stalled after contact. That points much more to contact success and consult conversion than to a shortage of top-of-funnel demand.
Compared with June, Invisalign generated more enquiries but did not improve booked appointments, making follow-up speed and persistence the clearest commercial priority.
Call volume strengthened, answer rate remained high, and search-driven calls continued to make up the largest identifiable share.
Paid search drove 33 calls across the month, combining 18 calls through the main number pool, 14 through the Google Ads line, and 1 additional call without a clear source label. Google organic remained the largest non-paid call driver.
July paid search generated a meaningful volume of outcomes through one current campaign.
Compared with June, click volume held at 135 while spend fell from $3.62K to $3.21K. CPC improved from $26.80 to $23.80 and CTR lifted from 11.1% to 12.72%, improving efficiency.
July delivered 76 paid-search outcomes at a cost per conversion of $42.27.
The result total reflects paid-search calls and lead enquiries. Invisalign lead results are reported separately under Meta Ads.
Meta delivery expanded month on month, led by the Invisalign lead campaign while the awareness campaign continued to support reach.
The Invisalign lead campaign was responsible for nearly all measurable Meta lead generation this month, producing 22 leads from 1,595 clicks. The awareness campaign continued to broaden reach, but lead results remained concentrated in the Invisalign campaign.
Compared with June, spend edged up slightly while impressions, clicks, and reported conversions all improved. CPC also improved from $2.33 to $1.97, showing better traffic efficiency even as the campaign scaled.
Website traffic softened month on month, though organic search still led the mix and paid traffic held a meaningful secondary share.
Landing-page response strengthened in July, with all calls coming through paid search and the heaviest demand clustered around emergency and local dentist terms.
The strongest business results from July.
July pushed the January-to-July total to 436 new patients, the strongest first seven months across the five-year comparison.
The clinic booked 21 consultations from 46 general enquiries, keeping appointment flow steady after June’s peak.
Organic remained the largest website source, while paid search also lifted landing-page call response and supported stronger inbound volume.
Meta recorded 23 conversions, including 22 lead enquiries from the Invisalign campaign, giving the clinic more demand to work with.
The clearest next steps are to protect high-intent search demand, tighten Invisalign follow-up, and turn the stronger paid response into more booked appointments.
With 14 of 22 leads sitting in contacted-no-response and only 2 booked, the first move should be tighter first-contact speed, same-day retry attempts, and a stronger SMS follow-up sequence.
Landing-page calls rose to 16 and the strongest paid-search keywords were emergency and Joondalup-led terms, so those should stay at the centre of the search mix.
Website visitors fell 12.5% month on month, so the next push should support search demand with stronger organic posting, refreshed service-page pathways, and remarketing to recent visitors who did not call or book.
