Find practices that need you — before they know it
Prospecting from stale lists means pitching clinics that already have an agency, or ones with no budget.

The intelligence behind the workflow
Evidence close to the action.
These signals are collected, normalized, time-layered and designed to be inspected, filtered and combined. Website-derived flags mean the clinic says so on its site; derived views show how multiple dimensions intersect; unknown remains distinct from no.
10,500+ clinics detected running Google Ads; 2,400+ on Meta
Call tracking, online booking and site quality detected per clinic
Filter 4.7★+, 200-review practices with zero paid channels
Network intelligence
A lead that is one door of a network is a different lead.
Qualification changes when the “single clinic” filling your form is one location of a multi-site operator: the budget, the decision-maker and the retainer scale all live at the group. The ownership graph also corrects competitor counts — separately branded locations of one operator are not five rival accounts to pitch against.

Questions
Before you build the list.
How do I find dental practices that don't run ads yet?
DentalCensus detects Google Ads and Meta Ads activity per clinic across 101,000 analyzed practice websites. Filter for practices with strong reputations — for example 4.7★ and 200+ reviews — that run zero paid channels, and you get a list of clinics that can afford marketing but aren't buying it yet.
What digital-marketing signals does DentalCensus track per clinic?
Google Ads (detected on 10,500+ clinics), Meta Ads (2,400+), call tracking (2,900+), online booking widgets, in-house membership plans and a website quality score. Every flag is website-derived and labeled as such — unknown is never counted as no.
Can I size a metro before pitching a local client?
Yes. DentalCensus covers 723 US metro markets with clinic counts, saturation scores and DSO share, so you can see how many practices a market holds and how competitive it is before committing ad spend.
How much does DentalCensus cost for an agency?
You can start free — create an account and search your market without a demo call. Paid plans add exports and deeper signals; see current plans on the signup page.
