"Last August we had 114 new patients compared to this August, we had 180 new patients. And it's just at the end of the month, when you count that up, you just can't deny what an impact that Clay's new marketing approach has had on our office, In June last year we had 85 new patients. in June this year, we had 126 new patients. It's just astounding. Before, we were trying to implement our ideas, but we didn't have access to a videographer, a photographer, a website designer, search engine optimizer. Through our new digital marketing plan, we have seen a market increase in the number of new patients that we're seeing every month, year over year. Our average is running about 40 to 42% increase, month over month, year over year." - Dr. April Lai, DDS, Partner of MLKDentistry.com
"We're the largest basketball facility in the three or four state area. We have people that call us from all over Oklahoma because of our website.

As a business owner if you allow your business to eat you up, well it's not really worth it. You've got to have a value of life as well. We wouldn't be where we're at today without Clay Clark." - Don Calvert, Owner of ScoreBBall.com
