Why good practices lose new patients to the office down the road.

Four common gaps that keep a well-run practice out of the map pack. Each one can be fixed.

  1. 01

    Not in the map pack

    Patients search "dentist near me" and find your competitors' Google Business Profiles — never yours.

  2. 02

    Reviews stuck at 4.3

    You're 12 reviews behind the next office over. Patients pick by stars before they ever pick by website.

  3. 03

    Treatment pages thin

    Your invisalign, implants, and cosmetic dentistry pages are 200-word stubs. Google ignores them. Buyers want detail.

  4. 04

    No new-patient tracking

    You don't know which calls came from organic, paid, or referrals. Every marketing decision is a guess.

We check all four in the free audit

The deliverable

What a dental location page needs to win new patients

Patients compare practices on stars, insurance and how soon they can be seen. This is the page we build for each location and town you serve.

6 components, every page

1
2
3
4
5
6
1

Service and town in the H1

"Dentist in Plano, TX: Accepting New Patients", not "Welcome to our practice".

2

Online booking and call above the fold

Book online or tap to call on every screen size, both tracked so you know which page filled the chair.

3

Map of the area you serve

The office and the nearby towns your patients come from, so a searcher sees at once that you are close.

4

Hours, insurance and Dentist schema

Real opening hours, emergency availability and accepted plans, marked up to match your Google Business Profile.

5

Real photos of your office and team

Treatment rooms, the team and the kids’ area. Patients want to see where they are going. Never stock images.

6

Reviews from local patients

Quotes from nearby patients about the visit. They persuade readers; Google shows no stars for reviews a business marks up about itself.

The fix

Local SEO for dentists, built around the searches that fill chairs.

Every retainer is built around the verticals it serves. Below is the work — and we'll tell you on the audit call which of these actually move the needle for your situation.

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.

Ask us anything

How much does dental SEO cost?

Our dental SEO services start at $1,800/mo for a single-location practice and scale with multi-location DSOs. Includes content, GBP work, technical SEO, and reporting.

How long until new patients show up?

Map-pack ranking moves in 60–90 days for most practices. Material new-patient call growth typically lands by month 4. Reviews and GBP work compound faster than blog content.

Will you ask my patients for reviews?

Through automated post-visit SMS, yes — only after patient consent and only via Google's own review request process. Always compliant with Google's review guidelines.

Is your content HIPAA-aware?

Yes — we never publish patient PHI in content or testimonials without explicit BAA-covered consent. Intake forms are configured to avoid storing PHI on third-party platforms.

Do you work with DSOs / multi-location practices?

Yes — single-domain + location-page architecture for DSOs up to ~50 locations. Above that, we recommend the multi-domain approach with shared infrastructure.

Do you offer dental marketing beyond SEO?

We can — Google Ads for dentists, social ads, and email/SMS lifecycle. Often the right mix is SEO + Google Local Service Ads as a one-two punch.
