OpenAI quietly rolled out sponsored placements inside ChatGPT conversations earlier this year, and by summer, anyone with a credit card could buy one.

According to the ADA's Q4 2025 State of the U.S. Dental Economy report, one-third of dentists said they weren't busy enough — they had room to treat more patients. That's not a staffing problem. That's a visibility problem.

If your schedule has open chairs, your marketing might be the reason people found someone else's practice before they found yours.

At LocalFresh, we've spent 20 years helping dental practices turn open chairs into fully booked ones — with SEO, ads, and visibility built specifically for dentistry.

Show off your uniqueness. Be a Jimothy.

LocalFresh was born in 2006. My youngest daughter was four years old. My husband and his business partner were navigating the gut-punch of the Great Recession, and building websites for small businesses was the bridge that kept the lights on. Turns out, they were pretty good at it. And then it became something more.
