Delmain Reviews & Agency Profile

About Delmain

Delmain, which styles its name as :Delmain, is a Portland, Oregon marketing company that works only for dental practices. Founder Dan Delmain began working in digital marketing in 2007 and started the agency in 2009, as he has also written in a Dentaltown column. Michael Myers is now CEO, with separate leads for operations, account services, SEO, paid search and creative. Dan Delmain also co-founded The Implant Engine in 2023, a sister company aimed at implant cases.

Their SEO programme follows three stages. First they research the local market to find the terms patients actually type. Then they build presence through Google review generation, Google Maps work, link building, new content and on-site fixes. Finally they track keyword movement in a live dashboard and send a monthly report built from Google Analytics and call tracking. Plans are named Nurture, Growth and Accelerator. They differ in how many pages are written each month, how often the site is audited, and how many keywords are tracked (10, 20 or 30). The agency is open that it cannot promise a number one ranking for any keyword.

The team has handled marketing for more than 500 US practices and managed over $30 million in client ad spend across Google, Meta and Microsoft. A distinctive piece of their offer is PatientPulse, an in-house attribution system. It tags each call, form, chat and online booking with its source, then syncs with the practice management system to follow the patient through to payment. Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental and Dolphin are among the systems named. Setup takes about two weeks.

Their published case studies cover a wide spread of practice types. Cedar Village Dentistry in Mason, Ohio moved from $1.4 million to $4.2 million in annual collections. Adams Dental in Madison, New Jersey logged 889 online bookings in six months after a redesign and a content push. Children's Dentistry of Charlottesville saw most target keywords move to first position, and Brimfield Family Dentistry, a startup, saw collections double year on year.

On DesignRush, three 2024 reviews (rated 4.6 overall) focus on new-patient growth, including one practice that went from about 12 to more than 80 new patients a month. The agency suits single practices, startups and DSOs that want to see marketing tied to booked patients. It keeps to one dentist per city. It charges no setup fees and does not use annual contracts, though SEO requires a six-month initial retainer. Clients keep ownership of the website and content built for them.
