We help dentists turn their websites into powerful revenue-generation tools for growing their practice.
Most dental websites look nice, but they don't actually bring in new patients. That's where we're different.
We rebuild dental websites from the ground up with one goal: to consistently bring in high-quality patient leads using technology, search, and digital and AI-powered marketing.
The Problem We Solve
If you're like most dental practices, your website:
- Isn't ranking on Google for high-value procedures
- Brings in minimal new patients
- Feels outdated or generic
- Doesn't reflect the quality of care you actually provide
What Makes Us Different
We don't just "design websites." We build growth systems specifically for dental practices.
-
Targeting high-intent procedures (implants, Invisalign, etc.)
-
Optimized site architecture for local SEO dominance
-
Site and content structure engineered for AI visibility
-
Built to compete, and win, in your market.

Our dedicated professionals bring decades of combined experience in dental marketing, technology, and strategy.

History of Grapevine®
Grapevine was founded on a belief that was ahead of its time: Business growth should be driven by data, not assumptions. Long before “data-driven marketing” became common language, our team was helping businesses make smarter decisions through analytics, performance insights, and measurable growth strategies. We challenged outdated marketing models and focused instead on what really mattered—results, revenue, and long-term business growth.
Over the years, that perspective naturally evolved our business, and essentially who we are, from CMOShare to Grapevine. We saw that the future of growth wouldn’t be defined by marketing alone. It would be shaped by technology, AI, automation, customer intelligence, and the ability to connect every part of the business into a smarter revenue ecosystem.
Today, Grapevine helps companies harness the power of AI, automation, analytics, and modern marketing to build scalable systems that drive measurable business outcomes. We help practices modernize how they attract customers, increase efficiency, improve performance, and generate scalable revenue.
Guided by industry-leading advisors.
Our advisory board consists of some of the most successful and innovative minds in the dental industry, providing us with invaluable insights and guidance.
