THE CHALLENGE
The biggest conversion gap wasn’t the design. It was the messaging.
I began with a CRO audit of the new patient page and found several UX and conversion issues across hierarchy, CTAs, trust, and content placement.
But the biggest opportunity was the copy. Much of the messaging felt broad and interchangeable with almost any dental practice. It explained what Dental Wellness offered, but not why patients should choose them or what made the experience meaningfully different.
1. Messaging felt too generic
Several sections used broad language that could apply to almost any dental practice, making it harder to understand what actually made Dental Wellness different.
2. Key benefits were buried
Support for nervous patients, insurance options, hygiene packages, and other meaningful benefits were buried in the copy or not explained clearly enough.

3. Social proof wasn’t working hard enough
The practice had strong reviews, but some of its most persuasive proof appeared too low on the page instead of helping build trust earlier.
4 UX and CTA hierarchy friction
Some important actions and content were easy to miss because of layout, CTA visibility, and weak visual hierarchy.
RESEARCH
I decided to reverse-engineer the copy using real patient reviews
I suspected that there was more to what the website was saying. So I reverse engineered the copy by going through real client reviews and using them to understand what clients loved most about them specifically.
Reviews gave me the language, fears, benefits, and emotional proof points the page was missing.

"Almost magical how smoothly and painlessly it went.”
“Actually looking forward to my next appointment for the first time in my life.”
“It doesn’t feel like coming to the dentist.”
“This has genuinely been my best dental experience ever.”
