Google Business Profile optimization for dental practices: we fill in your Google listing and keep it up to date
Your Google Business Profile is your free listing on Google Maps and Google Search. Patients nearby see it when they search for a dentist, and use it to decide whether to call. We fill in every field, keep it up to date and answer every review. It’s part of both plans, from Starter at $1,200 a month per location.

The problem 02 / 07
Your Google listing, as a patient sees it
Search for your practice on Google Maps and look at your listing.
Are the holiday hours right? Is there a photo of your front desk, or a stock photo of a smile? Does it list implants and Invisalign, or only “Dentist”? Has anyone answered the review from March? Google shows a listing more often when it’s filled in, kept up to date and matches your details elsewhere.

Each part of your Google Business Profile
Each part of your listing, in the order a patient sees it. Some have a question you can check on your own listing now.
Categories
Your main category matters more than any other field. “Dentist”, “Cosmetic dentist” and “Dental implants provider” each show up for different searches. We pick the one that fits how patients search for you. We only add extra categories for treatments you actually offer.
Check yours: Does your main category describe most of your work?
Name, address and phone
They match your website, your sign and every directory exactly. The map pin sits on the right building and suite.
Check yours: Is your listing name just your practice name? Google suspends listings with extra words added, like “Best Dentist Austin TX”.
Hours, including holidays
Your real hours and when you see emergencies. We set holiday hours ahead of Thanksgiving and the week after Christmas, so no patient drives to a locked door.
Check yours: When were your hours last changed?
Services and treatments
We list every treatment you offer, with a short description. We add a price range where you’re happy to show one. This helps you show up for “dental implants near me”, as well as “dentist near me”.
Photos of the real practice
The building from the parking lot, the front desk, an operatory, the team and the dentist. Your team takes the photos. We tell you which ones we need and add new ones to the listing regularly.
Check yours: Is there a photo of your actual office?
Description and attributes
A short description of the practice, who runs it and where. We also turn on the options patients filter by, like wheelchair access, languages spoken and online appointments.
Weekly posts
A short post each week, such as a treatment, holiday hours or a new team member, so the listing stays active.
Website and booking links
We set up your website link so Google Analytics can count the visits that come from your Google listing. The booking link opens your online scheduling. If your site won’t book from a phone, see dental website design.
Suggested edits
Anyone can suggest a change to your listing, and Google makes some of them without asking you. We check for changes, undo the wrong ones and set up alerts.
Check yours: Would you know if a stranger changed your phone number?
Your Google listing is one part of local SEO. The rest is the other websites that list you, and your own website. See local SEO for dentists.
Reviews 04 / 07
Google reviews: asking, answering and HIPAA
Patients read your reviews, and your replies to them, before they call.
A review request to every patient, the same day. After the visit, the patient gets a short review link by text or email. It goes out from your own practice software, or your front desk sends it. There’s also a card at the desk, and the team asks at checkout. We set up the link, the wording and the routine. Every patient gets asked: Google’s rules don’t allow asking only the happy ones. We don’t write or buy reviews.
Yelp is different. Yelp doesn’t allow businesses to ask for reviews, so on Yelp we watch and reply only. The Signature plan also manages Every review answered within one business day, and your reviews managed on RealSelf, Yelp and Healthgrades too.
Every review answered, in your voice. We thank people for good reviews and reply calmly to bad ones. Our replies never confirm that the reviewer is a patient, or mention their care, even if they wrote about it first.
HIPAA. Patient information stays in your own systems: forms and booking are set up in your accounts. If our work ever needs to touch patient information, we sign a business associate agreement (BAA) with you first.

FAQ 07 / 07
Google Business Profile questions
What is Google Business Profile optimization?
Filling in your practice’s free Google listing, keeping it correct and up to date, and answering reviews. Google shows complete listings more often, and patients trust them more.
Is a Google Business Profile the same as Google Maps?
Your profile is what patients see on Google Maps, and in the map at the top of a Google search. Fix the profile, and both change.
How much does Google Business Profile optimization cost for a dental practice?
It is part of both plans, from Starter at $1,200 a month per location. Each extra location adds $900 a month, because each location has its own listing.
How long until the profile shows results?
Fixes to your Google listing show within days. Moving up on Google Maps takes weeks. In a big city with many practices, it can take a few months of new reviews and updates.
Can you get my practice more Google reviews?
Yes. We set up a review request your front desk sends every patient on the day of their visit. We don’t write or buy reviews, and we don’t ask only the happy patients. Google’s rules forbid both.
Can you remove a fake or unfair review?
Sometimes. Google removes reviews that break its rules, like spam or a review from someone who was never a patient. We report those and follow up. A real one-star review stays up. We help you answer it without saying anything about the patient.
My listing is suspended. Can you fix that?
We can work on it if the practice is real and at the address shown. We find the rule that was broken, such as extra words in the name or a duplicate listing, and fix it. Then we ask Google to restore the listing, with the proof it asks for. Google makes the final decision.
Who owns the profile once you set it up?
You do. The profile stays in your practice’s Google account, with you as the primary owner. We’re added as a manager while we work together. If you leave, you remove our access.
