Adjacent client result, multi-location franchise case study. Multi-unit operator, 14 locations, 18-month engagement. These are verified results from a comparable multi-location operator — not fabricated dental-specific numbers.

Three structural gaps that prevent DSOs from scaling marketing as fast as they scale acquisitions.

Per-location lead flow inconsistency

Practice A books 40 new patients per month from Google. Practice B — same MSA, same brand — books 9. The difference isn't the market; it's whether someone set up Google Business Profile correctly, whether reviews are getting requested, whether local search terms are covered. Across 20, 50, or 150 acquired locations, the gap compounds into a portfolio-level revenue problem no amount of acquisition will fix on its own.

Brand drift across acquired practices

Every acquisition brings its own legacy website, its own Google Ads account, its own review history, its own social presence — and usually its own agency relationship the previous owner set up. Six months post-acquisition you have 30 practices running 30 different brand voices, 30 different offer structures, and no way to guarantee any of them reflect corporate positioning. The DSO brand you're building doesn't exist at the patient level because nobody owns the transition layer.

PE reporting pressure for marketing ROI attribution

Your PE sponsor wants marketing efficiency metrics by location, by market, by quarter — cost per new patient acquisition, production per marketing dollar, performance versus the acquisition baseline. What you have is a folder of PDF reports from 12 different vendors. You can't answer whether marketing drove growth at the practice level or whether it just happened. That gap becomes a valuation conversation at the next raise or exit.

Passenger and Partner tier deliverables for DSOs scaling past 10 locations.

  • Per-location GBP management + local SEO
    Every practice location optimized for "dentist near me," procedure-specific searches (implants, Invisalign, pediatric), and Google Business Profile rankings. Per-location NAP consistency, review velocity management, and local pack coverage — managed at the system level, not clinic by clinic. New acquisitions onboarded within 14 days of close.
  • Paid search + Meta with location-level budget routing
    One unified campaign architecture across all locations, with per-market budget routing and performance-based reallocation. Underperforming markets get diagnostic review and spend adjustment. High-opportunity markets get surge investment. No practice running its own Google Ads with no oversight, no creative drift, no competitive bidding against your own locations.
  • Brand compliance playbook + acquisition onboarding
    Every acquired practice transitioned to the DSO brand system within 30 days of close. Legacy vendor relationships audited and consolidated. Brand-approved creative templates, approved offer structures, and a posting calendar — so each location markets locally without going off-brand. The corporate brand exists at the patient level from day one post-acquisition.
  • Reputation management across Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, Zocdoc
    Automated review request sequences post-appointment, response management across platforms, and monthly review velocity reporting per location. A practice with 4.7 stars and 200+ reviews converts 2–3× better on paid search than the same practice with 4.1 stars and 40 reviews. We own that gap across your entire portfolio.
  • PE-ready attribution dashboard — cost per new patient, by location
    One dashboard showing lead volume, cost per new patient acquisition, channel attribution, and marketing ROI per location — board-ready monthly summary with portfolio-level and unit-level breakdowns. You can answer the PE reporting question on marketing efficiency in two minutes, not two weeks.
