Slow and steady wins the race. Sometimes, you need to slow down to speed up. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. There are so many sayings that express the idea that slow progress is better than sudden success, yet most businesses don’t operate that way. On the contrary, business owners often feel an intense pressure to achieve instant success and dominate the market.
A well-maintained Google Business Profile (GBP) has become a critical factor in how patients find dental practices online, and it should not be a surprise to anyone. Google has been open about prioritizing user experience and relevance to generate more relevant search results for its users. In competitive local markets, we often see that dental practices with active and complete GBPs are more visible in local search results, which aligns with Google’s stated priorities around relevance and accuracy.
The Success Series continues with “Why Dr. Stacy Chose Foundation Over Gimmicks & How It Changed Her Marketing,” featuring Dr. Stacy Reece of Advanced Dentistry of Kearney in Kearney, Nebraska.

Every practice wants to know the same thing: What are the most successful practices doing that others aren’t?
In this Candid Conversation, Jackie shares what she’s observed across hundreds of practices and why a small group consistently rises to the top.
In the world of dentistry and in marketing, the competition is fierce. At MDA, we’re fully aware that other marketing agencies solicit our clients and sometimes even convince them to make the switch. However, it doesn’t always turn out to be a better deal for the practice. Often, the clients that leave return to us, and when they do, we welcome them with open arms, no judgment, no hard feelings. We simply pick up where we left off.
With fee-for-service gaining popularity among privately owned dental practices, many dentists want to know what it takes to succeed. In my experience working with fee-for-service practices, the top-performing dentists know exactly which patients they wish to serve and are committed to providing an exceptional patient experience. Most importantly, their marketing strategy aligns with their goals.
It may be cliché, but that doesn’t make it any less true: Sometimes less is more. It’s exciting when your company starts to see a steady influx of interest, and it’s also tempting to say yes to every opportunity that comes along. After all, who knows how long the boom will last?
In this Success Series conversation, Nicole talks with Dr. Stacy about why she chose a foundation-first approach instead of gimmicky, surface-level marketing. She shares how MDA’s relationship-focused process aligned with her philosophy, what made her feel confident taking the next step, and how collaboration, creativity, and PatientCaptureNow have helped her boutique practice grow with intention and authenticity.
On this episode of Candid Conversations, Nicole and I talk about something that happens more often than you’d think, former clients returning after working with other agencies.

The two friends took a moment to catch up and talk about how working with My Dental Agency shaped their practices and their outlook on collaborating with a professional marketing agency.
