I am thrilled to share a significant milestone we've achieved at Diamond+ Growth Partners. Through our partnership with Smiles Orthodontics, we have surpassed $1 million in Invisalign treatment starts. This success story showcases our commitment to helping Invisalign providers scale their practices to Diamond+ status.
The Challenge
Smiles Orthodontics, a prominent provider of Invisalign treatments, was struggling to scale their business. Despite their excellent service quality, they faced several critical issues:
- Insufficient Leads: Their existing marketing efforts were not generating enough leads.
- Low-Quality Leads: The leads they did manage to attract were often unqualified.
- Slow Response Rate: Their team struggled to respond to inquiries quickly, leading to lost opportunities.
- Pipeline Leakage: Leads were not being followed up with consistently, resulting in a high rate of lost prospects.
- Poor Reviews Process: They lacked an effective system for collecting and managing patient reviews.
- Expensive Software: The cost of multiple software solutions was eating into their profits.
These challenges were hindering Smiles Orthodontics from reaching their full potential. They needed a comprehensive solution to address these issues and scale their business effectively.
The Strategy and Implementation
Diamond+ Growth Partners stepped in with a multi-faceted approach to transform Smiles Orthodontics’ business operations and marketing strategy. Here’s how we tackled each problem:
- Lead Generation: To address the issue of insufficient leads, we implemented a robust lead generation strategy utilizing social media ads, Google ads, and search engine optimization (SEO).
- Social Media Ads: We created engaging video ads showcasing the benefits of Invisalign and targeted them to potential customers on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
- Google Ads: Our team set up highly targeted Google ad campaigns to capture individuals searching for orthodontic treatments.
- SEO: We optimized Smiles Orthodontics’ website for search engines to improve their organic visibility and attract more traffic.
- Capturing High-Quality Leads: Generating leads was only part of the solution. We needed to ensure these leads were qualified and ready to convert.
- Proven Offers: We designed compelling offers specifically tailored to attract high-quality leads. These offers included promotions and special pricing for Invisalign treatments, enticing potential customers to take action.
- Improving Response Rate: Quick and efficient communication was critical to converting leads.
- AI Receptionist: We implemented an AI receptionist to handle initial inquiries instantly, providing potential patients with immediate responses and necessary information.
- Dedicated Lead Caller: Additionally, we hired a dedicated lead caller to follow up with every new lead, ensuring that no opportunity was missed and pre-qualifying them before transferring to the clinic.
- Preventing Pipeline Leakage: To ensure that no lead fell through the cracks, we introduced a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
- CRM Implementation: Our CRM tracked all leads, streamlined communication, and automated follow-ups. This ensured that every lead was nurtured and guided through the sales funnel effectively.
- Automated Reporting & KPIs: Keeping track of key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting is crucial for ongoing success.

- Automating Review Collection: Positive reviews are crucial for building trust and attracting new customers.
- Automated Review Collection: Using our CRM, we set up an automated system to collect reviews from patients after their appointments. This not only improved Smiles Orthodontics' online reputation but also provided valuable feedback for continuous improvement.
- Reducing Software Costs: To streamline operations and reduce costs, we consolidated their software solutions.
- Comprehensive CRM: Our CRM replaced multiple expensive software tools, providing a single platform for managing leads, communication, and reviews. This not only saved money but also improved efficiency.
