In order to grow their practice, dentists market their practices using various marketing methods, including local search engine optimization (SEO), Google Ads, social media, offline strategies, and more. In every case, the intent is to have potential patients request to book an appointment, either via a phone call or through your website.
However, we’ve found that most dental practices don't know where their incoming leads are coming from. Why?
Because they have no lead tracking or call tracking in place.
Implementing a lead-tracking solution can eliminate the guesswork involved in determining which of your marketing channels is performing best.
You can do this by tracking your incoming leads (calls, text messages, and website submissions), collecting data, and using the data to identify the most successful marketing channels.
Enter HIPAA call tracking.
At Titan Web Agency, we understand that running dental practices is challenging, whether you’ve got a single office or several. That’s why we recommend call tracking software to our dentist clients. There are a lot of options available, so we’ve created this guide to review and compare the top 10 HIPAA-compliant call-tracking software solutions for dentists.
While we are referring to software that helps to track leads, it is most often referred to as ‘call tracking software’ as opposed to ‘lead tracking software.’ Therefore, in this post, we will use the terms ‘call tracking software’ and ‘lead tracking software’ interchangeably.
So, let’s get right to it!
Listen to this blog post:
What is Call Tracking Software?
Call tracking software is a marketing tool that allows business owners (in this case, dentists, orthodontists, and similar) to collect the appropriate data to determine which marketing campaigns are doing the best job of getting prospective patients to call their practice. With the data you collect, it’s easy to expand effective marketing strategies and stop wasting money on campaigns that aren’t working.
While call-tracking software requires an investment, it’s a cost-effective marketing solution. You’ll save money by using your marketing budget wisely and putting your resources into the campaigns that are most likely to bring new patients to your dental office.
Importance of Call Tracking for Dental Offices
Before we review common features and specific software solutions, here’s an overview of call-tracking software, why you should have it, and how it works.
Most business owners aren’t marketing experts. They may know enough to set up a Google Ad campaign or engage with patients on social media, but they haven’t studied marketing philosophies and strategies. As a result, they may waste money trying strategies that aren’t effective.
Call tracking software demystifies part of the marketing process. It can help dentists understand where their leads are coming from and use their marketing budget effectively. For example, you might find that your campaign on Instagram attracted zero new patients while your local SEO efforts brought in 20.
Dentists who use call tracking and understand the data they obtain from it are able to adjust their marketing dollars and reallocate their spending, allowing them to improve their return on investment (ROI) and lower the cost of acquisition (CAG), thereby improving their profitability.
How Does Call Tracking Work?
Call tracking works by placing a small snippet of code on your website.
The software (snippet of code) will assign a tracking phone number to display on your website instead of your main phone number. Don’t worry; the tracking number will be forwarded to your main number, and your website visitors and potential patient user experience won’t be impacted.
The code placed on your website will provide you the following information: (dependent on the call tracking solution you choose and if they filled out a form on your website or called in)
- Source of traffic (Google Ad, FB, Local Search, etc)
- Phone number
- Their name
- The page they landed on
- The page they called or submitted the form on
- Keyword they used (in some cases)
- Any additional information you request from the forms, such as if they are a new patient, what they need help with, etc.
- Date/time of lead
- Physical location of the lead
- Type of device they are using
- Browser they are using
You can see much of this in the screenshot I’ve provided below.
How Does Dental Call Tracking Reporting Work?
The unique numbers allow your call-tracking software to measure the performance of each marketing channel and determine whether your campaigns are effectively attracting new patients. Here’s a sample report from WhatConverts.
The reports show which campaigns are working and which may need to be tweaked.
What Does a Call Tracking Report Cover?
Call tracking reports deliver metrics that highlight which campaigns are successful and which are underperforming. Most call-tracking reports include the same fundamental metrics, such as the following..
- Which number the patient used to call you
- Which campaign the number was assigned to
- The date and time of the call
- The name of the caller (if available)
- The caller’s location (based on the caller’s number)
- The total number of calls generated by the campaign.
Here’s an example of the call-tracking reports we create for our dental practice clients. Phone numbers are hidden to protect privacy.
The best call-tracking software allows dentists to customize reports with data they can use to improve their marketing.
Call Tracking for Dentists: The Process
There are six basic steps in the call tracking process.
1. Phone number placement
Each of your marketing campaigns will be assigned a unique phone number. When someone calls it, the call gets forwarded to your primary phone number so your front office staff can answer it.
Most call-tracking solutions use Dynamic Number Insertion (DNI) to update the tracking number based on how each visitor reaches your site. The screenshot below shows a tracking number at the top right.
With DNI, visitors have a seamless experience visiting your site and won’t know that the number would differ for another visitor.
2. Integration
Call tracking software integrates with other marketing tools, such as Google Ads and Google Analytics. Your leads are in one place, and the software tracks their progress through your sales funnel.
We provide our clients with a lead tracking dashboard that allows them to log in and see all of their incoming leads in one spot, see the source of their leads, and view reports as needed.
3. Call Receipt
Call tracking software tracks every call that comes into your office. The process happens automatically and requires no extra time from your staff.
As we noted previously, the software tracks all your marketing campaigns and other important details, including the name and number of the caller, what the call was about, etc. This data helps you learn about callers’ behavior, needs, and preferences.
4. Analysis
Call tracking software provides built-in reports and, in many cases, the ability to create ad-hoc reports to review your analytics.
Being able to dig into your data means you’ll spend less time deciding where to spend your marketing budget and have more time to care for your patients.
5. Adjustment
Call tracking data helps you adjust your marketing strategies based on what you learn, which is easy to do when you monitor your metrics.
For example, you might learn that your Google Ads campaign generates 4x the ROI of your direct mail. Using that data, you may decide to scale back the radio ads and put the money you save into your PPC campaign.
6. Implementation and Repetition
The final step is to implement any changes and repeat the process. Tracking and evaluating data to refine your campaigns will allow you to see a continuous improvement in your ROI.
Give each of your campaigns adequate time to collect data before you make any changes. Once you have concrete data, your marketing team can assist you in implementing changes.
The Benefits of Call Tracking
Whether opening your first practice or being well-established in the dental industry, your business can benefit from call-tracking software. You can monitor the performance of every campaign, including social media ads, PPC ads, email campaigns, billboards, print ads, and dental SEO. From there, you can calculate your ROI and change your dental marketing strategy as needed.
Here are some specific ways that using call-tracking software can benefit you and your practice.
1. Improve Customer Service
Most call-tracking solutions allow dentists to record incoming calls to evaluate how the staff talks to new leads. Armed with this information, you can identify areas for improvement and, if necessary, create new phone protocols and training to enhance the patient experience.
2. Gain a Deeper Insight into Your Patients
Tracking and listening to incoming calls can help you better understand your patient’s needs and desires. The feedback you’ll receive can help you improve the patient experience and increase patient retention.
3. Decrease the Cost of Acquisition
Even the most carefully planned marketing budget can miss the mark and lead to overspending. With call tracking, you can monitor the calls each marketing campaign generates and calculate your cost per lead. You’ll track every campaign, making it easy to compare the ROI of each, remove ineffective campaigns, and save money on marketing.
4. Increase Lead Generation
When you spend money on a campaign that’s not generating phone calls, you’re missing out on opportunities to grow your practice. With call tracking, you can build an effective lead nurturing system that converts new callers into satisfied patients.
Call tracking can help you attract new patients by differentiating yourself from your competitors.
How We Evaluated the Call Tracking Software on Our List
We specialize in dental marketing, so we compiled a list of criteria to help us evaluate dental call-tracking software. Here are the things we looked for.
- HIPAA compliance. All healthcare providers, including dentists, must adhere to HIPAA regulations to protect patients’ privacy. We only included HIPAA-compliant software on our list.
- Features. We reviewed the software features of each option and prioritized those with the most robust set of features.
- Client Service. Software isn’t very useful if users can’t get help when they need it. We looked at client support channels and response times to make sure our readers won’t be waiting for the assistance they need.
- Education and Training. Getting started with any new software can be challenging, so we prioritized call-tracking software with training and online resources.
- Price. It has become increasingly difficult to provide software pricing as many companies don’t have set costs but provide custom quotes instead. We have included pricing information where available. We’ve also included a few free and low-cost options at the end of our list.
Some of the other factors that go into choosing a call-tracking solution aren’t universal, but we’ve included system and hardware requirements and other elements in our reviews to help you pick the software that’s right for your practice.
What to Look for in Dental Call Tracking Software
Nobody knows your dental practice better than you do, so here are some questions to ask to help you choose the best dental call-tracking software for you and your staff.
- Which features matter most to me? Examples may include dynamic number generation, call recording, customization options, and analytics.
- Does the software integrate with third-party services, including your dental practice management software?
- How much do I want to spend?
- How do I want to pay for call-tracking software? Installed options and subscription options are both available. You may have more flexibility with a subscription model.
- How steep will the learning curve be for my staff?
Asking these questions can narrow your options and help you choose the solution that allows you to meet your practice growth goals.
A Call Tracking Case Study
Phillydentistry.com is a dental practice in Philadelphia. Dr. Ken Circa uses call tracking to determine which marketing campaigns drive the most revenue to the business. The data showed here after a month of tracking and monitoring inbound calls.
- The 81 calls that came from PPC campaigns were mostly from smartphones (73), while eight came from desktop computers.
- Each organic lead costs the business $7.60, while a PPC lead costs $106.
Based on their data, this practice allocated more of their marketing budget to organic advertising since it generated the most leads. The remaining money in their budget was allocated to PPC ads for mobile users.
Understand, though, that not all leads are created equal. Many dentists will pay more for a cosmetic lead, for example, than just a general new patient lead due to the higher lifetime value of a cosmetic lead. So, don’t simply look at the cost of lead, but consider the type of lead as well.

How Much Does A HIPAA-Compliant Call Tracking Provider Cost?
Healthcare call tracking prices can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The size of your practice (number of locations)
- The number of phone numbers you purchase
- The amount of customer support provided
- The features included in the service
- Software integrations
- The vendor you choose
A quality dental call tracking service typically costs between $50 and $300 per month. And small practices can find solutions at the lower end of that range because they'll require fewer phone numbers to track. Larger practices, particularly those with multiple locations, should expect to pay more.
With call tracking, you can decide where to invest your marketing dollars and eliminate ineffective marketing strategies that aren't delivering the desired results. Call tracking costs are worthwhile if you want to streamline your marketing and improve your ROI.
Titan Web Agency provides HIPAA compliant call and lead tracking for our monthly marketing clients at no additional charge.
Free and Inexpensive Call Tracking Solutions
Looking for a call-tracking solution but want to save money? There are some free and low-cost options, but you’ll need to remember that paying less may mean you’ll have access to fewer features than you would if you paid more.
Healthcare call tracking prices can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Twilio Segment is a call-tracking solution offering an array of call tracking and other marketing features for $0/month. You can also check out their Team option for $120 per month.
- RingCentral is a low-cost call tracking option with plans starting at just $20 per month. They offer quite a lot for a low price, including online training for new clients and a robust resource center on their website.
- CallFire charges just $.06 per call, which can be very affordable for practices with low call volume.
While these inexpensive and free solutions might seem like a good deal, remember that you need a robust suite of tools to manage your practice effectively. We recommend choosing a paid plan with the features you need to improve your conversion rate and grow your practice. These inexpensive and free solutions will likely require a more complex integration, and you will need to confirm they are HIPAA compliant.
Key Metrics to Measure in Call Tracking
The call-tracking software you choose will be most helpful when you use the data it collects to learn more about the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. Here are some metrics we suggest tracking.
Healthcare call tracking prices can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Number of calls. Phone calls are crucial for your practice, so tracking how many calls each campaign generates is important.
- Time of calls. You can adjust your scheduling based on when your phones are busiest.
- Location. Call tracking can help you identify the locations that generate the most calls and allocate your marketing budget with Google Ads.
- Call duration: You can determine if the longer calls are resulting in new patient appointments or if your front office staff is struggling to overcome objections and closing the appointment on the phone.
- Unanswered calls. If you're missing calls, it's important to find out why. For instance, if you're getting dumped calls after business hours, consider using an answering service or an automated text back to ensure you're not missing out on potential business.
Call tracking software lets you take the guesswork out of your marketing efforts and focus on what's working best for your dental practice.
