Hawks Prairie Orthodontics - Customer Case Study

Dr. Zachary Ehrmantrout’s Hawks Prairie Orthodontics operates five practices across Lacey, Olympia and Federal Way, Washington. Although well established, the group needed a modern, mobile‑friendly website, better search visibility (they weren’t on page one for target terms), and increased engagement with current and prospective patients on Facebook.

Sesame built a new mobile‑optimized site with integrated Ortho Sesame patient portal, executed an SEO campaign that moved all five practices into the top three on Google for key orthodontic and pediatric dental terms, and ran social media programs that grew Facebook Likes to 2,300 and monthly engaged users from 300 to 1,500. Results include an average of 26 incoming patient calls per month from Sesame Social, a 4.8‑star Healthgrades rating with 493 reviews, and reported increases in new patient referrals and patients.
