Our Strategy

Vooba designed a well-rounded digital marketing strategy that worked together across multiple platforms. Here’s what made it all click:

#
Paid Search — PPC
  • High-intent search ads - Targeted keyword campaigns focused on treatments like composite bonding.
  • Performance max - Used strategically to widen reach and discover new audience segments.
  • Conversion tracking - Every form fill, phone call and Enquiry Bot message was measured, giving full visibility on what was working.
#
Social Media Campaigns
  • On social, the focus was connection. The goal wasn’t just to advertise, but to inspire interest and build trust over time.
  • Composite bonding campaign - Delivered strong click-through and conversion rates thanks to creative that resonated emotionally with viewers.
  • Retargeting - Nudged people who had interacted with ads before, leading to cheaper leads from warmer audiences.
  • Ad set expansion - We continued to test new interest groups and creative combinations to keep CPLs as low as possible.

Commercial Impact

Beyond the impressive numbers, what really changed was the feeling of control. Vooba’s campaign helped Smil stop relying on unpredictable traffic and start generating a consistent stream of high-quality leads each month. The team gained insight into what was working and could plan confidently for the future, whether that meant more open days or scaling what was proven to have worked.

And perhaps most importantly, Smil built a stronger connection with potential patients, meeting them at the right moment and making it easy for them to take the next step and book an appointment.
