Podcast Specific Discounts: https://dentistryingeneral.com/digrn Episode title From Marketing Budgets to AI: How Day One Dental Marketing Helps Dentists Build Visibility and Attract Ideal Patients Description In this episode, Dr. Bob Dee interviews Jamie DiBease of Day One Dental Marketing about what dentists need to understand before investing in marketing. They discuss why many practices underspend, how visibility drives new patients, and why a clear strategy should come before websites, SEO, ads, social media, or AI tools. Highlights Jamie explains how Day One helps dentists grow by creating a comprehensive marketing strategy focused on ideal patients. The conversation covers marketing budgets, online visibility, SEO, Google ads, social media, websites, patient conversion, and how AI can support marketing while still needing human creativity and customization. Personal passions Jamie shares his appreciation for the dental community, small business owners, and helping dentists define success on their own terms. He also discusses Day One’s commitment to helping practices grow with the right patients, not just more clicks or generic marketing activity. Podcast vision This episode supports DIG’s mission of helping dentists understand the business side of dentistry so they can compete, grow, and make smarter decisions for their practices. Takeaways Dentists need to match their marketing budget with their actual practice goals. If patients cannot find your practice online, you may not exist to them. Visibility often requires investment through SEO, ads, websites, and social media, and AI can be useful, but it should not replace a customized dental marketing strategy. ___________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer for Dentistry in General Radio Network The Dentistry in General Radio Network (the "Network"), a division of Dentistry in General, LLC, provides podcast programming featuring independently selected guests by individual podcasters.
