The problem
Why SEO for Dentists usually fails.
We've seen the same four patterns across every audit in this vertical. If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone — they're all fixable.
Not in the map pack
Patients search "dentist near me" and find your competitors' Google Business Profiles — never yours. The map pack owns 60% of clicks.
Reviews stuck at 4.3
You're 12 reviews behind the next office over. Patients pick by stars before they ever pick by website.
Treatment pages thin
Your invisalign, implants, and cosmetic dentistry pages are 200-word stubs. Google ignores them. Buyers want detail.
No new-patient tracking
You don't know which calls came from organic, paid, or referrals. Every marketing decision is a guess.
The deliverable
Anatomy of a Google Business Profile that wins the map pack
The map pack is 60% of "dentist near me" clicks. Here's exactly what we audit and fix on yours.
6 components, every page
Primary category: Dentist
Not "Dental Clinic" — Google ranks the right primary category higher.
Service list — 30+ items
Each procedure tagged so Google understands what you actually do.
Photos uploaded weekly
Office, team, patient (consented), procedure — geo-tagged.
Review request via SMS
Sent 2 hours post-appointment when satisfaction is highest.
Google Posts every Monday
"This week's offers" — weighted in local ranking.
Q&A populated by your team
Pre-answer top 12 patient questions to control the narrative.

Anonymised case study

Why us, for this vertical
What we bring that the generic agency down the street doesn't.
Specialist agencies beat generalist agencies on every vertical they go deep on. Here's our deep end for seo for dentists.
HIPAA-aware from day one
No PHI in testimonials or content without explicit BAA-covered consent. Intake forms configured to never store PHI on third-party platforms.
Review velocity automation
SMS post-visit at the moment of highest patient satisfaction. Google-policy compliant. Compounds your map-pack ranking month over month.
New patients, not impressions
CallRail wired to your PMS or CRM. We report new-patient calls and form fills — not vanity metrics.
Treatment-led content
Invisalign, implants, veneers — each treatment gets its own buying-intent page. Not generic "we care about your smile" copy.
Transparent pricing
Pick your tier. No "talk to sales" maze.
All retainers are month-to-month after a 90-day initial commitment. Cancel any time. The work compounds — that's how we earn the renewal.
