For Dental Practices — Even if You’ve Never Run Ads Before
What is this: In this guide, we will be walking you through, step-by-step, on how to build and launch a well-strategized advert on Meta through BiteBot. If you are ready to launch an ad on Meta, go through each step on this guide before you launch.
Step 1 – Choose Your Strategy
Volume Strategy → Get lots of leads fast to practice follow-up and find winning ads. (mainly recommended if you’re in a suburban, small town, or rural area)
Quality Strategy → Get fewer, more qualified leads ready to book. (mainly recommended if you’re in a metro or suburbs near a metro area)
✅ If you’re not sure, start with Volume — You can’t improve quality if you don’t have enough leads first.
Step 2: Choose Campaign Type
Lead Forms (Recommended for beginners):
Higher volume, lower quality
Built into Facebook/Instagram
Great for volume strategy campaigns
Faster setup and testing
Best for competitive areas
Landing Pages:
Lower volume, higher quality
More control over messaging
Great for quality strategy campaigns
Better for experienced advertisers
Best after finding a winning ad
Step 3: Choose your radius to target
Audience Size Targets:
Metro/Suburban Areas: 500k+ (ideal: 1M+) (these are areas with over ~500k people in 10 miles)
Rural Areas: 150k minimum
Radius Guidelines:
Start with 15-20 mile radius
Adjust based on patient drive time (keep under 1 hour)
Urban areas: smaller radius, higher population density
Rural areas: larger radius to reach minimum audience
Step 4: Choose Your Budget
Step 5: Choose an Ad Type (see this document to understand this step better)
Metro Areas (High Competition)
Focus on decision-ready leads (using ads with competitive prices if you have it)
Highlight specialist credentials (if you have it)
Emphasize experience/technology
Offer same-day appointments
Multiple languages if applicable
Suburban Areas / Small Towns
Test any lead type (decision-ready, solution-aware, or problem-aware)
Family practice angle
Convenience factors (parking, location)
Rural Areas
Focus on solution-aware or problem-aware leads
Personal touch messaging
