A record July, a softer August, and a clear next opportunity.

Byford Smiles welcomed 197 new patients across July and August. July set the record in the supplied records; August was quieter. Checking the open enquiries against appointment records will show who booked and who may still need a response.

🏆Biggest Win Record Month
July set a new patient record with 113 new patients.
That is the highest monthly figure in the clinic's supplied records for 2023–2026 — 22 above June and 29 above July last year.
⭐Paid search signal Paid Search
Google Ads recorded 19 taps to call across the two months.
Google Ads spent A$3,647 and recorded 427 clicks. A Google Ads source appears on 14 of the 26 enquiries; those records have not been matched to appointments.
↗Main Opportunity Enquiries
26 enquiries were recorded across July and August.
These records are all currently marked New Client in the enquiry system. That stage does not confirm whether a patient booked; matching the records with appointments will show who still needs follow-up.

What the July and August numbers mean for Byford Smiles.

The clinic recorded 113 new patients in July and 84 in August. The measures below come from different systems and describe different steps in a patient’s journey.

ℹ
New patients come from clinic records; enquiries and tracked call events come from the enquiry system; Google Ads counts taps to call; website sessions come from Google Analytics. Google recorded 19 tap-to-call actions, while the available CRM history contains 9 call events. These systems are not reconciled, and their totals should not be added together.

New patients month by month · 2026 so far
From the clinic's supplied patient records. July (113) is the highest month in the 2023–2026 records. The eight months so far total 715 new patients — 117 more than the same months in 2024 (598). August 2025 is blank in the supplied records, so the like-for-like comparison uses January–July: 631 this year against 557 last year (+74).

Answered, missed and paid-line calls, reconstructed from the clinic's CRM call records. The available CRM history contains 9 call events, whereas Google Ads counted 19 taps to call. This gap needs a tracking check; the CRM figures cannot describe all clinic calls or show how many ad taps became connected calls.

How each active channel supported patient discovery and action.

Google Ads produced measurable calls while organic search brought people to the website. These are different signs of interest, not confirmed new-patient totals.

GGoogle Ads Paid Search
Google Ads recorded 19 taps to call from 427 ad clicks across July and August.
July: A$1,823.02 spend, 214 clicks, 11 actions at A$165.73 each. August: A$1,824.01, 213 clicks, 8 actions at A$228.00 each. All delivery came from one Search campaign serving Byford, pointing to the Dentist in Byford landing page.
These actions are mobile taps to call recorded by Google Ads, not confirmed phone conversations, appointments or patients. Fourteen of the 26 CRM enquiries carry Google Ads source, but the records have not been linked to the ad actions.
ℹ
Meta advertising was paused through July and August, with no campaign delivery recorded.
⌕Website and SEO Discovery
Website sessions grew 8% from July to August.
Google Analytics recorded 1,303 sessions in July and 1,407 in August, with organic search the largest labelled source at 893 sessions across the two months. Referral traffic includes visits on the online booking system.
☎Phones and Enquiries Call Capture
Seven of 9 available CRM call events were answered.
The available CRM history shows 7 answered calls on the Byford Google Ads line in August and one number-pool voicemail in July. These records do not reconcile with Google Ads tap-to-call counts, so call tracking needs checking before drawing conclusions about call capture.

Building on July's patient momentum.

These steps clarify appointment outcomes, improve call tracking and help the clinic respond promptly to future enquiries.

1
Match enquiries to bookings and follow up
Compare the 26 open New Client enquiry records with appointments — starting with the 14 from Google Ads — update their stages, and contact anyone still waiting for a next step.
2
Check missed-call follow-up and future response
Check whether the August unanswered caller was contacted. Set a same-day callback routine for future missed calls, and reconcile the CRM phone logs with Google Ads taps to call.
3
Understand August’s lower patient count
Review appointment capacity and follow-up alongside steady ad activity before changing campaign direction — spend held flat while Google Ads taps to call moved from 11 to 8.

About the figures

A few points to help read the report.

Read the reporting notes
  • New-patient figures are from clinic records. Enquiries and available call events are from the enquiry system; Google Ads actions are mobile taps to call, not confirmed conversations or patient counts.
  • All 26 enquiry records sit at New Client stage and need to be checked against clinic appointments before treating them as unbooked.
  • Website figures are Google Analytics sessions on the live site. Meta advertising was paused through July–August with no delivery. July–August creative assets were not verified in the available reporting. August 2025 new-patient data is blank in the supplied workbook, so no August year-on-year comparison is shown.
