Dental clinics · Outdoor advertising

Buy the junction people cross to reach you, not the main road across town.

Outdoor advertising for a dental clinic is a small buy on the roads people use to reach you: a pole kiosk at the junction, a bus shelter, the board above your own door. GullySales picks the sites by the direction traffic moves past them, then checks the lighting, the permission and the mounting date.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What outdoor advertising means

Outdoor advertising is the hoarding, billboard, bus shelter or digital screen on a road your buyers already use. GullySales picks the sites from where your customers actually come from, coordinates the booking with the media owner, and gives the campaign a traceable route so it is not judged on guesswork.

Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For dental clinics

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Your catchment is a few kilometres, not the city”

    A patient picks the clinic they can walk out of after a root canal. A hoarding on a highway two suburbs away is bought for people who will never sit in your chair.

  • “The panel sells nearness, not dentistry”

    A rider reads six words at a signal. Your name, one treatment and the landmark you sit beside beat a list of services in small type.

  • “The signboard above your door is a site you already own”

    A glow sign that is unreadable from one direction, or dark by eight, loses more patients than a month of kiosks brings. Stand across the road and look at it.

  • “What the board may claim follows your registration”

    Dental council rules decide what can be said in public about a dentist, a result or a price. Get the wording confirmed with your council or your own adviser before it is printed.

What we do

What we deliver for dental clinics.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Site list drawn from your appointment book

    The localities your current patients already travel from, mapped against the junctions, bus stops and lanes between them and your door.

    Result: Sites come from where patients live, not from a vendor's list.

  2. Facing and lighting checked on foot

    Each shortlisted panel photographed from where a rider sits, with a second visit after dark to see whether the lights actually come on.

    Result: You know what the site looks like at the hour patients pass.

  3. Permission and mounting date in the booking

    The media owner asked who holds the licence for that structure, and the date the flex goes up written into the order rather than left to the crew.

    Result: The panel is up on the day you paid for.

  4. Artwork built for a moving glance

    Name, one treatment and the landmark, set inside the safe area so the frame does not swallow the phone number.

    Result: It reads at speed, from across the carriageway.

  5. Your own signage and approach audited

    The door board, the lane sign and the building name read at night and in the rain, with a short list of what to repair or relight.

    Result: A patient who was told to look for you finds you.

  6. A number printed outdoors and nowhere else

    One line at the front desk used only on these panels, with the receptionist asking every new caller where they saw it.

    Result: You can say which junction is filling the chair.

How the result is measured

  • Sites booked
  • Proof of display received
  • Enquiries quoting the campaign route

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it is bought, and approved

A dental clinic buys a small outdoor panel, and the landlord and the civic body clear it first.

Sold per face
Pole kiosks and shelter panels are sold per face. Ask which face looks at traffic heading to your clinic, and visit at the hours patients travel.
The board above your door
Your own board needs the building owner's or society's consent, and often a trade licence from the local body. Read the lease before ordering a new one.
Wording and your council
Advertising rules for dentists differ by state and body and change. Check with your own dental council, and keep to the clinic name, address, hours and treatments you offer.
Lighting after dark
Many patients pass in the evening. Visit after dark to see that the panel is lit and not shadowed, and ask who pays for its electricity.
A sign in the lane
A directional sign in the lane sits on someone's wall. Get that owner's written consent and note who maintains it.
One number, one question
Print a number used only on the panel, ask 'where did you see us' on the first call, and write the answer in the appointment book.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the outdoor advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Draw the catchment

    We agree the roads, junctions and neighbourhoods your buyer moves through. It is almost always a smaller area than an owner first says, and a clinic in Nagarbhavi does not need the whole of west Bengaluru.

  2. 2

    Survey what is available

    We work through the sites on offer inside that catchment and go and stand in front of the ones worth looking at.

  3. 3

    Compare and book

    Sites are compared on facing, visibility, illumination and cycle length, then booked through the media owner or their agency at a negotiated rate.

  4. 4

    Print to specification

    Artwork is made to the exact panel size and delivered ahead of mounting day, with a proof you approve before printing.

  5. 5

    Monitor the cycle

    We collect mounting and mid-cycle photographs, and take up anything late, torn or unlit with the media owner while the cycle is still running.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is a hoarding worth it for a single-chair clinic?
A large hoarding rarely is. The same money buys two or three small panels inside riding distance, held for a full display cycle so the same commuters pass them again and again. One big site for a fortnight leaves nothing behind.
How will we know the board brought patients in?
Only through the route you build into it. The panel carries a number used nowhere else, and the desk asks every new patient where they heard of the clinic. A site counts nothing by itself, and a viewer figure quoted to you is an estimate.
Can we put a smile photograph or the doctor's face on the board?
Advertising rules for dentists differ by state and body and change, so check with your own council. Before-and-after photographs of treatment are the usual line to avoid. A plain clinic photograph, the name and the treatments are what a passer-by reads anyway.
Is a bus shelter or a wall painting the better small buy?
A shelter puts the clinic in front of people waiting at the stop. A painted wall lasts but needs the owner's consent and fades. Choose whichever sits nearest your door on the road patients use.
How soon would we see more patients?
Fixing reply time and the Maps profile shows in weeks, since the searches are already happening. Building reviews and ranking treatment pages takes months.
Do we need to advertise?
Most clinics benefit first from the profile and the reply routine. Advertising makes sense for a treatment where you need a chair filled this month.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
