Dental clinics · Review generation

Ask when the mirror comes out, not when the mouth is still numb.

Review generation for a dental clinic is the business of getting patients to write one: which visit to ask after, who does the asking, and how the link reaches their hand. That is a different job from answering the reviews you already have. GullySales sets the moment, the wording and the checks that keep the ask inside what your council permits.

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

What review generation means

In a clinic or practice a review is a public statement by a patient, and asking for one is restricted or unwise in several regulated professions. Review generation here is proof that does not depend on a patient writing in public: the professional listing kept accurate, the note back to the referring doctor, and a reply that never confirms somebody was a patient. GullySales sets that up and tracks what arrives without soliciting it.

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.

  • “The moment is the mirror, not the extraction”

    A patient whose lip is numb and whose jaw will ache all evening writes nothing kind. The one who has just seen a new crown in the mirror will write it there and then.

  • “The person who did the treatment should not be the one asking”

    Patients say yes to the dentist holding the drill and then write nothing. Ask at the desk while the card machine is working and the review actually appears.

  • “What a dental practice may ask for is not settled everywhere”

    Professional conduct rules restrict how dental treatment is advertised and how patient testimonials are used, and they differ between councils and change over time. Confirm the current position with your own dental council before you script anything.

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. The visits where an ask is appropriate, written down

    A short list of the appointments the desk asks after, such as a fitted crown or a completed cleaning, and the ones it never asks after.

    Result: Nobody asks a patient who is still in pain.

  2. A desk script and a link the patient uses before leaving

    Wording for whoever takes the payment, with a short link or a code on the counter so the review is written while the patient is still standing there.

    Result: The ask happens in the chair-to-door minute, not in a message next week.

  3. Wording drafted against advertising restrictions

    The ask and any printed card written in general terms, with the specific points you need cleared listed out for your council or adviser.

    Result: You know which sentences to get confirmed before they go up.

  4. A confidentiality rule for public replies

    A written rule that no reply names a treatment, a diagnosis or a visit, plus two ready replies: one for a complaint about pain, one about cost.

    Result: A reply defends the clinic without discussing the patient.

  5. New reviews counted by treatment and by branch

    A count against the figure recorded before the work started, split by the treatment the review mentions and, where you run more than one clinic, by branch.

    Result: You can see whether the ask is actually being made at the desk.

How the result is measured

  • Reviews received
  • Average rating
  • Response rate to requests

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

Asking patients for reviews

Ask from the front desk after a routine visit, and keep the wording about the clinic rather than the treatment.

Check-up and cleaning visits
A check-up, a scaling or a completed filling is an easier visit to ask after than an extraction day. Write down which appointment types the desk may ask after.
The front desk asks, the dentist does not
The receptionist asks at billing as the patient takes the next appointment card. A request made from the chair, with the patient lying back, is not free consent.
Code on the card stand
Put the review code on the appointment card stand and the link in the reminder text. The patient chooses to scan, and nobody stands over them while they do.
Ask about the visit, not the result
Suggest the patient write about the waiting time, how the staff explained things and whether the clinic was clean. Treatment outcomes stay out of the request.
Your own council, before the wording
Advertising and solicitation rules for dentists differ by state and body and change over time. Show the wording to your own dental council or association before use.
Public replies protect privacy
Reply without confirming the person was a patient or naming the treatment. Invite them to call the clinic, and keep the details of the case off the page.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • 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 review generation work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the customer journey

    We identify one fixed point in your service, such as handover or checkout, where every customer is asked in the same way.

  2. 2

    Read your current reviews

    We read every review you have, count how many were answered, and note what customers praise in their own words.

  3. 3

    Set up the ask process

    Templates and a simple sending process are built into your existing customer communication.

  4. 4

    Implement responses

    Every incoming review, positive or negative, is responded to by the routine set down in writing after we have spoken to you.

  5. 5

    Measure and adjust

    We track review volume and rating trend and adjust the ask timing if response rates are low.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we give a patient a discount for writing a review?
Do not. Review platforms take down paid reviews and can restrict the profile, and paying for a testimonial sits badly with professional conduct rules in most places. Ask your dental council what applies to you. A patient asked properly, at the right moment, writes it for nothing.
A patient has posted publicly about pain during an extraction. What do we write?
Something short, with no clinical detail at all. A public reply that confirms what treatment somebody had is a confidentiality problem before it is a marketing one. Thank them, give a name and a number, and move the conversation off the page.
Should we ask patients at the desk or send a WhatsApp message after the visit?
Ask at the desk and send the link from the clinic number straight after, so the patient has it on the phone when they leave. Use a message only to patients who have saved your number. Group broadcasts risk exposing who has been a patient.
We are on both Google and Practo. Which do we ask patients to use?
Ask for Google first, since a patient searching your clinic name sees it before anything else. Mention Practo only to patients who already use it. Check each platform's current rules on requesting reviews, and do not ask the same patient to write on two pages.
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.
