Researched content strategy

Helping Sienna Smiles become the clinic that explains care clearly.

A September-November 2026 strategy for shifting from sales-led scripts into useful, one-topic educational content that supports trust, enquiries, and bookings.

Client Sienna Smiles
Location Hilbert WA
Format 45-60 sec videos
Rule One topic per video

Move the calendar from selling first to helping first.

The attached request details asked for educational content to be mixed into the existing calendar. This strategy uses that as the creative direction, then grounds it in clinic research, July performance, compliance guidance, and local competitor positioning.

01

Build one-topic education videos

Each Reel explains one patient question in plain language, using correct brushing technique as the model for simplicity.

02

Protect proven reassurance themes

July traffic showed booking ease and first-visit reassurance as the strongest verified message territories.

03

Use real clinic trust signals

The website already supports clear explanations, written plans, digital scans, intraoral cameras, and a no-pressure first visit.

04

Turn winners into Meta variants

The best educational hooks can become paid retargeting and offer-support creative without merging this plan with Google Ads.

Instruction followed: this plan shifts from sales-led to educational, uses one topic per video, keeps videos around 45-60 seconds, and begins mixing education into the existing content rhythm.

The strategy is built from four evidence inputs.

These inputs keep the plan specific to Sienna Smiles instead of turning it into generic dental content advice.

1
Clinic

Sienna Smiles public materials

Verified the Hilbert location, official website positioning, dentists listed publicly, service pages, first-visit pathway, digital dentistry messaging, and confirmed offer routes.

Performance

July Meta performance overview

Used the verified upper-funnel signals: $742.28 spend, 1,312 landing page views, 1.88% CTR, and strongest volume around booking ease and first-visit reassurance.

Market

Nearby competitor offer positioning

Checked Harrisdale, Byford, Armadale, Prospect Road, and Precision Smiles signals. The local market is offer-heavy, which gives Sienna a clear education-led opening.

Safety

AHPRA and ADA education guidance

Used AHPRA advertising guardrails plus Teeth.org.au and Healthdirect education sources to keep brushing, flossing, whitening, and suitability topics safe and plain.

Checked

Strategic read

Sienna should not compete on offers alone. Nearby clinics already lead with price and consultations. Sienna's stronger lane is clear explanation, local familiarity, and low-pressure assessment-led next steps.

One repeatable Reel structure. Many useful patient topics.

The content system is deliberately simple so every video stays focused, easy to edit, and safe to review.

Model example

Correct Brushing Technique

The benchmark for the new style: one topic, short explanation, practical demonstration, and a calm next step.

  • Open with a patient question: Are you brushing along the gumline?
  • Show the technique with a soft toothbrush and simple visual cues.
  • End with: ask us at your next check-up if you are unsure.
Calendar support

First-Visit Reassurance

This extends the strongest July theme by showing what happens before asking the patient to book.

  • Use reception, clinic, chair, dentist explanation, and written plan visuals.
  • Keep the message: first visits are a conversation, not a commitment.
  • End with a non-pressuring booking or enquiry step.
