What we'd prioritize for a Fremont practice
Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.
Lead with elective and cash-pay services
The median household income in Fremont is $181,506, against $80,734 for the US. Elective work earns its own pages and budget, with Google and Facebook ads.
Keep the patients you already have
Fremont had 4,050 fewer residents in July 2025 than in April 2020 (−1.8%). With fewer new residents arriving, we would set up patient texting first, to keep existing patients coming back.
Reviews and your Google Business Profile first
One NPI-registered dentist per 750 residents in Fremont (US: one per 1,340). We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
A crowded field for optometrists
1.9 times the US number of NPI-registered optometrists per resident (one per 2,796 residents). A optometrist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for optometrists.
