Updated content proposal

Growing Ellen Stirling Dental with warmer, experience-led Meta ads.

This updated strategy reflects Sharon's feedback: more real clinic visuals, more personalised patient-journey storytelling, and a stronger focus on the warm, non-franchised experience patients receive at Ellen Stirling Dental.

Channel Meta ads
Timeline September to November 2026
Budget context $25/day
Location Ellenbrook + 10 km

We will shift the creative from generic dental ads to real clinic experience.

The campaign should help people understand what it feels like to visit Ellen Stirling Dental before they enquire, with clear next steps and calm, AHPRA-safe messaging.

01

Build around the patient journey

Show the welcome at reception, the consultation process, treatment-room experience, and the care patients receive throughout the visit.

02

Prioritise real clinic visuals

Use real clinic photos and footage wherever possible for the September to November campaign. Keep AI-generated visuals to a minimum.

03

Support Traffic and Lead Gen

Use warmer creative to improve click quality, then introduce calm enquiry-led ads once Traffic signals are clearer.

04

Keep the message reassuring

Address nerves, cost questions, uncertainty, and delayed bookings with a local, no-judgement tone.

Core positioning: Local dental care in Ellenbrook, with a team that takes the time to talk through your options.

Before we finalise production, these four details will help shape the campaign.

These details help us build the professional shoot list and the September to November creative rollout clearly and practically.

1
Shoot date

Confirm the professional video shoot timing.

The clinic is planning another professional video shoot, but the date still needs to be confirmed. Once confirmed, we can map the full patient-journey scenes properly.

To confirm
2
Clinic visuals

Gather real clinic photos and footage for the new campaign.

For September to November, we should use real clinic visuals wherever possible: reception, team, treatment rooms, exterior signage, and simple phone clips. This gives the campaign a more genuine and personal feel.

To confirm
3
People

Confirm who can appear on camera.

We need to know which dentists, reception team members, and staged patient scenarios are available, plus any consent requirements for identifiable people.

To confirm
4
Tracking

Confirm enquiry tracking and follow-up flow.

Before judging Lead Gen performance, confirm form submission events, where enquiries go, who receives them, and how quickly follow-up happens.

To confirm
Creative note: this plan keeps Awareness only where it already exists and focuses the next stage on stronger Traffic signals and enquiry-led Lead Gen creative.

One clinic shoot can create the full patient-journey ad library.

The strongest opportunity is to film natural, personal, experience-led moments: welcome, consultation, care, team interaction, and next steps.

Concept 1

Your first visit, step by step

Reduce uncertainty for patients who do not know what to expect when they book.

  • Patient arrival and reception welcome.
  • Waiting area and team greeting.
  • Consultation conversation shown naturally.
  • Dentist explaining options using calm body language.
  • Soft CTA: book a consultation with the team.
Concept 2

No judgement, just a clear next step

Speak to people who have delayed care and feel nervous about coming in.

  • Calm shot of clinic exterior or reception.
  • Team member acknowledging nerves or uncertainty.
  • Warm interaction between team and patient.
  • Dentist listening and explaining next steps.
  • Soft CTA: speak with the team about your options.
Concept 3

A familiar local team

Reinforce local trust and the clinic's personalised, non-franchised experience.

  • Exterior signage or street-level arrival.
  • Reception welcome and team interactions.
  • Team member preparing a treatment room.
  • Closing shot of the clinic team or reception.
  • Soft CTA: book online or contact the clinic.
Concept 4

Talk through your options

Support service-led ads without making treatment claims too strong.

  • Patient seated in consultation.
  • Dentist explaining options visually.
  • Calm listening and conversation close-ups.
  • Treatment-room B-roll kept clean and non-graphic.
  • Soft CTA: discuss what may be suitable.
What one shoot gives us to work with
01
Professional paid ad videos 15 to 30 second vertical videos for Traffic, Awareness, and Lead Gen testing.
02
Real clinic stills for graphics Warm reception, team, consultation, and local clinic visuals for static ads and carousels.
03
B-roll for creative refreshes Enough supporting footage to prevent the account relying on generic or AI-generated visuals.
04
Better trust signals More personal, local, and natural creative that makes the clinic experience easier to understand.
B-roll priority: exterior signage, patient entering, reception greeting, waiting area, walkthrough to treatment room, consultation conversation, dentist listening, treatment room details, friendly team interactions, and patient leaving or booking the next appointment.

A practical September to November rollout built around real clinic experience.

Every stage has a clear purpose: launch with patient-journey creative, use the professional content library, then optimise Traffic and Lead Gen from real performance signals.

Week 4Next steps
Recommend
Next campaign direction

Summarise what to scale, refresh, or change heading into December and the next campaign phase.

Outcome: a practical, data-backed content recommendation.
Month 3 goal: identify the strongest creative angles and prepare the next practical paid ad batch.
On compliance: all creative avoids misleading claims, patient testimonials, guaranteed outcomes, superiority claims, unrealistic transformation language, and pressure-based urgency. Suitability and results wording stays careful throughout.

The content pillars keep the ads focused and easy to brief.

Every ad should be clear within one to three seconds and should focus on one patient concern, one message, and one next step.

01

The patient journey

What happens when you visit, from reception to consultation and next steps.

02

Warm local care

Local Ellenbrook family dental care that feels personal rather than corporate.

03

No-judgement reassurance

Messaging for people who have delayed booking or feel nervous about coming in.

04

Option-led education

Simple explanations around suitability, process, cost questions, and what to discuss first.

Avoid: generic stock-style imagery, overcrowded layouts, fear-based dental visuals, "perfect smile" language, guaranteed results, or any claim that a treatment is suitable for everyone.
Now what?

Approve the direction, confirm the shoot, then we build the next creative batch.

Once the clinic confirms the shoot timing and available real visuals, the team can build the September to November campaign around video assets and patient-journey creative.

1
Confirm the professional video shoot date
2
Gather real clinic photos, footage, and team availability
3
Launch the September to November video-led campaign
