The Customer  

​​​V Care Dental Clinic is a multi-specialty dental practice with locations in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, offering comprehensive dental services ranging from pediatric care to advanced cosmetic and implant dentistry. Despite their clinical excellence and patient-centric approach, V Care faced challenges in establishing a strong digital presence and effectively communicating their unique value proposition to a broader audience.  

Challenges Identified By DGTL

  • Limited Digital Footprint: Though having a web presence, V Care lacked a cohesive online presence, making it difficult for potential patients to discover their services through digital channels.  

  • Underutilized Social Media Platforms: Their social media accounts were either inactive or not strategically leveraged to engage and educate their target audience.  

  • Low Local Search Visibility: The clinic did not appear prominently in local search results, impacting their ability to attract nearby patients seeking dental services.  

  • Lack of Brand Differentiation: In a competitive market, V Care needed to distinguish itself by highlighting its unique offerings, such as comprehensive care under one roof and adherence to international treatment protocols.  

DGTL's Strategic Implementation

To address these challenges, DGTL executed a comprehensive digital marketing strategy focusing on Social Media Marketing (SMM) and Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) through Google My Business (GMB).
