June matched May's 99 and remained well ahead of June 2025's 58.
Summary
What happened in June.
A quick read on patient volume, enquiry generation, phone demand, and the clearest channel outcomes from the month.
18 leads finished won and 19 finished lost, with total lead volume up strongly month over month.
134 calls were answered, giving June an overall answer rate of 69.8%.
Paid traffic still led volume with 635 visitors, although total website traffic was lower than May.
Learned
What June showed us.
The strongest lessons this month sit around lead growth, paid-search intent, local phone demand, and the need for cleaner attribution.
Lead volume improved materially.
Tracked leads increased from 24 in May to 37 in June, showing stronger enquiry flow even with softer website traffic overall.
CRM source clarity remains limited.
33 of 37 leads were recorded as unknown source, so performance reads best when CRM outcomes are paired with call and traffic data rather than source labels alone.
GBP continued to generate high-value phone actions.
Google Business Profile produced 147 calls and 107 website visits, keeping local discovery commercially important in June.
The new patient offer remained the clearest paid-call destination.
Of the calls tagged google paid, 26 were attributed to the New Patient Offer page, showing where paid intent was most clearly converting.

New patient volume has stabilised after the early-year peak.
June finished at 99 new patients, matching May and sitting close to the March and April range. That suggests the clinic is now holding a steadier monthly level after the stronger spike seen in January.
June is materially stronger than the same month last year.
June 2026 delivered 99 new patients versus 58 in June 2025, which is a 70.7% year-on-year increase and a clear sign that current acquisition is outperforming the available prior-year comparison.
The main opportunity is lifting from stable to growing again.
With 642 new patients recorded across January to June 2026, the clinic has maintained strong throughput. The next step is turning the stronger lead and call volume from June into enough attended bookings to push NPN back above the current high-90s baseline.
Leads
Tracked enquiries and outcomes.
June produced more tracked enquiries than May, although most CRM records still carried unknown source attribution.
Tracked leads increased 54.2% from May's 24.
June won volume was up from 8 in May.
Lost volume remained elevated and slightly higher than May.
Combined recorded lead value across all June opportunities.
This theme mix reflects the 21 June leads where enquiry intent was clearly identified, with general treatment questions forming the largest group.
More leads did not automatically mean cleaner conversion.
June generated 13 more tracked leads than May, but the lead mix still split almost evenly between 18 won and 19 lost. That suggests demand volume improved faster than lead quality or conversion handling.
Most leads are either progressing well or dropping out early.
The stage mix is concentrated in 15 attended and 14 not interested, with much less sitting in mid-pipeline stages. In practice, that points to a front-loaded outcome pattern where enquiries are deciding relatively quickly whether they are a fit.
The attribution gap is now limiting strategic decisions.
With 33 of 37 leads recorded as unknown source, the clinic can see the outcome improvement but not clearly which channels created it. The next reporting gain is cleaner source tracking, so budget and follow-up decisions can be tied to actual lead origin rather than inferred from surrounding data.
Calls
Phone demand increased across June.
Call volume lifted month over month, with Google Business Profile still carrying the biggest share and Google Ads adding a meaningful paid-call stream.
All tracked calls recorded in June, up from 157 in May.
Overall answer rate finished at 69.8%.
Missed calls remain recoverable demand.
First-time callers made up 39.6% of total call volume.
This combines answered calls from the Google Ads number and the pool number, giving Google Ads tracked calls a 72.7% answer rate.
This is the attributed paid-call subset in June reporting, separate from the full tracked-number total above.
GBP remained the largest phone driver.
147 of 192 calls came through the GMB number, reinforcing how important local profile visibility remains to phone demand.
Google Ads continued to create direct phone intent.
Google Ads tracked numbers generated 44 calls, while the attributed paid-call subset points to strongest activity around the new patient pathway and core dentist search terms.
Higher volume came with more call leakage.
Answered calls increased in June, but the overall answer rate slipped from 73.9% in May to 69.8% in June, making missed-call recovery more important.
Meta Ads
Meta delivered efficient landing-page traffic in June.
The account's clearest June strength was practical traffic creative, especially first-visit reassurance and ortho consult messaging that turned spend into verified landing page views at efficient costs.
Down 10.3% versus the prior 31 days, while still supporting meaningful traffic volume.
Delivered at an average of $0.99 per landing page view.
Lower than May's 103.63K, showing smaller delivery scale month over month.
Attention remained healthy across the June creative mix.
The main traffic campaign delivered 353 landing page views from $301.71, working at $0.85 per landing page view.
The ortho consult campaign added 102 landing page views from $107.14, at $1.05 per landing page view.
$301.71 spend, $0.85 cost per landing page view, and 774 clicks. This was the clear volume leader across June Meta activity.
$107.14 spend, $1.05 cost per landing page view, and 260 clicks. This remained the strongest service-specific traffic campaign in the account.
$46.51 spend, $9.30 cost per landing page view, and 26 clicks. This campaign contributed reach, but very little verified website traffic compared with the two traffic campaigns above.
The strongest June messages were low-friction and practical: first-visit clarity, ortho consult intent, patient-journey explanation, and new-patient offers. Those themes were the clearest drivers of verified landing page activity.
The awareness campaign still delivered reach efficiently, but it contributed very little verified website traffic compared with the traffic campaigns. June evidence favours keeping budget focused on practical traffic-first creative unless awareness has a separate strategic role.
The clearest next move is to build more variants around the winning reassurance and ortho consult themes, then expand the educational and new-patient offer cluster so the account is not relying on only a few lead creatives.
June Meta performance looks efficient at the landing-page-view level. The next question is whether that traffic is also producing stronger lead quality and booked outcomes.
Google Ads
Google Ads stayed active through one primary search campaign.
June search delivery remained commercially useful, with solid click-through rate, 53 reported conversions, and all meaningful spend concentrated in the active search campaign while PMAX stayed paused.
Search visibility across the June 1 to June 30, 2026 period.
Up from 209 in May, with activity strongest through mid-month.
Total conversions recorded across June.
Down from $8.67 in May.
Slightly above May's $1.81K.
$1,835.72 spend, $7.91 CPC, 8.73% CTR, 17 leads, and 2,659 impressions. This was the only campaign generating Google Ads delivery in June.
Search intent is converting at a healthy rate.
A 22.84% conversion rate at $34.64 per conversion suggests June search traffic was not just generating clicks, but producing meaningful action at an efficient cost for the clinic.
June performance depended on one campaign only.
All Google Ads delivery came through Search Campaign | Austral Smiles. That kept results focused on core dentist-intent demand, but it also means the account had very little diversification if volume softened or CPC rose.
The biggest improvement lever is post-click conversion.
June already showed efficient search demand, so the next gain is likely to come less from chasing more traffic and more from lifting what happens after the click: stronger landing-page alignment, tighter call handling, and better follow-through on high-intent enquiries.
Landing Page
Google Ads intent concentrated around the new patient page.
Both landing pages remained part of the Google Ads pathway in June, although attributed paid-call activity was heavily concentrated on the new patient offer.
New Patient Offer
26 calls tagged google paid were attributed to this page, making it the clearest June paid-call destination.
Orthodontics Offer
The orthodontics page remained live within the Google Ads setup, although June reporting did not show attributed paid-call volume against it.
One additional google paid call in June was tied to a separate emergency-focused page, but the overwhelming majority of attributed paid-call demand landed on the new patient offer.
The paid-search journey is working most clearly when it routes high-intent traffic into the new patient offer, so that page remains the primary conversion asset to protect and refine.
Website Traffic
Traffic eased back from May levels.
Website traffic fell in June, although paid channels remained the largest source of visits and referral traffic stayed stable.
Total visitors were down 25.5% versus May's 1,742.
Top traffic driver: Paid channels - 798.
The main June website story is a volume drop, not a channel mix collapse. Paid channels still led traffic comfortably, with 798 visits combined from paid traffic and paid search, while organic and referral continued to contribute a meaningful secondary layer.
That suggests visibility is still being generated, but the account did not hold May's overall visit scale. The next question is whether the lower volume was offset by stronger traffic quality, especially across lead and call outcomes.
Google Business Profile
Local visibility stayed steady and action-oriented.
GBP improved overall views and search visibility in June, while continuing to convert into website visits and phone calls.
Up from 800 in May.
Search remained the main discovery surface.
Maps visibility remained stable alongside search growth.
The strongest direct action outcome from GBP in June.
107 profile visits to site
The profile also drove 107 website visits, showing it continued to support both phone and web conversion paths.
Search visibility strengthened.
667 of 848 total views came from search, which means discovery improved primarily through search rather than maps in June.
Calls remained the main local conversion action.
Bookings and conversations remained at 0, so the profile is still functioning most strongly as a call and website-visit driver.
Wins
What went well this month.
June's strongest positives came from lead growth, efficient paid search, and steady local visibility.
Lead volume grew strongly.
Tracked leads rose from 24 in May to 37 in June, with won outcomes increasing from 8 to 18.
Google Ads became more efficient.
June delivered 232 clicks at a lower $7.91 CPC, improving on May's cost efficiency while slightly increasing spend.
New patient volume held steady.
99 new patients matched May's result and kept the clinic well ahead of the same month last year.
Action Plan
What we are doing next.
The July focus follows the clearest June signals: protect the channels creating demand and sharpen what happens after the enquiry lands.
Tighten attribution and follow-up
With 33 of 37 leads recorded as unknown source and 19 leads lost, the immediate priority is cleaner source tracking and faster lead progression after first contact.
Keep backing the new patient pathway
The strongest paid-call signal in June came through the New Patient Offer page, so that journey should stay central to Google Ads optimisation and landing-page refinement.
Improve call capture
June call volume increased, but answer rate eased. Reducing missed calls and improving call handling will help protect the extra demand already being generated.
