KickStart Dental Marketing is a dental-focused digital marketing agency founded in 2009 that works exclusively with dental practices, one per city. It offers SEO, PPC, web design, branding, and direct marketing with month-to-month agreements and a money-back guarantee.
KickStart Dental Marketing is a dental-only digital marketing agency founded in 2009 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with a second office in Castle Rock, Colorado. It operates with a team of under 49 employees and follows the motto "We don't promise results, we prove them." The agency works exclusively with dentists and accepts only one dental practice per city, arguing that serving competing practices would be a conflict of interest.
The agency sets a minimum project budget of $1,000 to $10,000 and charges an average hourly rate of $100. Clients work on month-to-month agreements with no contracts, receive a money-back guarantee of 125% of the first month's billing if unsatisfied within 30 days, and get a live person on the phone during business hours. Monthly transparency reports detail hours worked and tasks completed on each account.
Services span digital marketing, direct marketing, SEO, PPC, web development, social media marketing, web design, branding, advertising, and market research. Expertise covers branding strategy and design, business consulting, WordPress CMS, direct mail and email marketing, data analysis and surveys, media planning, Google Ads and Bing PPC, local and on-page SEO, link building, and social media across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Twitter. The agency holds Google Partner status.
KickStart serves the dental and health care industries, working with startups, small businesses, medium businesses, and enterprise clients. The team is led by founder and CEO Chris Pistorius, who has 15 years of experience helping dental practices gain new patients, and Director of Operations Jennifer Heusner, who focuses on client experience and data-driven marketing.
The agency holds a Google rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 45 reviews. Clients praise the quality of website design, clear communication, quick execution, and responsiveness. One practice reported an increase in new client activity within 90 days of a website launch, another reported new patient growth across three practices, and a vendor partner highlighted the team's dental industry knowledge and proactive communication.
The SEO portfolio includes Washington Center for Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, M&M Dental, H&L Dentistry, Aspen Springs Dental & Aurora Family Dentistry, and Castle Rock Dental Health. Named clients include Rocky Mountain Dental Partners, Smile Advantage, and Aurora Family Dentistry, with reviews from practices in Colorado, Washington, North Carolina, California, and Washington, DC.
