How many Instagram accounts should a dental group run? (Head of growth view)

Short answer

A dental group should run as many Instagram accounts as it takes to saturate the local market. One account is a failure of imagination. Growth comes from scale, and scale comes from having many touchpoints. A managed network allows you to push your content out through dozens of accounts, maximizing your traffic and lowering your customer acquisition cost.

The volume of growth

Growth is about volume. You need as many eyes on your content as possible. By running a network of accounts, you are casting a wide net across your entire target area. This is how you ensure that you are getting as many leads as possible every day. You don't have time for slow growth. You need to dominate the feed, and you can only do that with a large, managed network.

Using a managed network

A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This system is the engine of your growth. It lets you scale without the burden of manual, account-by-account management.

Lowering CAC through scale

Every account you add to the network is a low-cost lead generation engine. You are not spending on ads for each one. You are spending on the network infrastructure once, and then the content works for you everywhere. This is how you keep your CAC low while your lead volume skyrockets. It is a growth hacker's dream and the only way to scale effectively today.

Iterative testing at scale

You can test different content on different clusters of accounts. See what works in one neighborhood versus another. The data you get from a large network is invaluable for your growth strategy. You can constantly refine your messaging, your offer, and your content to ensure you are always getting the best possible performance out of your marketing budget.

Run a massive network of accounts to ensure market saturation and drive consistent, low-cost lead volume for your dental group.
