Local SEO for dentists: show up on Google Maps when patients nearby search

Local SEO for dentists helps your practice show up on Google Maps when patients nearby search for a dentist. We run your Google listing. We also make sure your name, address and phone number are the same on every website that lists you. And we set up a review request your front desk sends every patient on the day of their visit. It’s the main part of Starter, at $1,200 a month per location.

The problem 02 / 07

Why does another practice show up first on Google Maps?

When a patient searches “dentist near me”, Google shows three practices at the top of the map. A patient on a phone calls one of those three. If you aren’t one of them, they call another practice.

Google picks those three practices on three things. The first is how close you are to the person searching, which you can’t change. The second is how well your listing and website match what they searched for. The third is how well known you are: your reviews, other websites that mention you, and your own website. We work on the second and third.

What's included 03 / 07

What local SEO for dentists includes

Your Google Business Profile. This is your practice’s listing on Google Maps. We fill in your categories, treatments, hours and photos, and add a short post each week. Every field we work on is listed on Google Business Profile optimization.

Other websites that list you. Your practice name, address and phone should match exactly on Yelp, Healthgrades, Apple Maps, Bing Places and insurance directories. We find old addresses, duplicate listings and wrong numbers, and fix them.

Your website. We make the address, phone and hours on your site match your Google listing. Each location gets its own page. We add code that tells Google what kind of practice you are and where. We mention your city where it fits, and don’t repeat it in every sentence.

Reviews. We set up a review request your front desk sends every patient on the day of their visit. That keeps new reviews coming in. How we ask, and how we answer reviews, is on the Google Business Profile page.

Locations and hours 04 / 07

Multiple locations and emergency hours

Each location needs its own Google listing. And a patient with an emergency looks for a practice that’s open now.

Each location is its own listing. It has its own reviews, phone number and hours, and its own page on your website. It also has different practices nearby to compete with.

Emergency and after-hours searches. A patient with a broken tooth on a Saturday calls a practice that shows as open. We keep your real hours, holiday hours and same-day emergency slots up to date on Google, Apple Maps and Yelp.

FAQ 07 / 07

Local SEO questions

What is local SEO for a dental practice?

Work that helps your practice show up on Google Maps when patients nearby search for a dentist. It covers your Google Business Profile, your details on sites like Yelp, your website, and new reviews every week.

How much does local SEO cost for a dental practice?

It’s the main part of our Starter plan, at $1,200 a month per location. We run your Google listing. We also make sure your name, address and phone number are the same on every website that lists you. And we set up a same-day review request for every patient. Each extra location adds $900 a month.

How long until my practice moves up on Google Maps?

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.

How do I get my practice into the map results?

Fill in your Google listing and keep it up to date. Make sure your name, address and phone number are the same on your website and on every site that lists you. Get new reviews every week. The practice audit shows which of these is holding you back.

What’s a Google Business Profile, and is it the same as local SEO?

No. Your Google Business Profile is your free listing on Google Maps. Local SEO covers that listing, plus your other directory listings, your website and your reviews. Every plan includes both.

Can you do local SEO for a practice with more than one location?

Yes. Each location gets its own Google listing, its own review requests and its own page on your website. That page counts as one of your plan’s monthly pages. Each extra location adds $900 a month on either plan.

Will you guarantee my practice ranks #1?

No. We don’t promise a place on Google or a number of new patients. The monthly report shows how your listing is doing. It also compares you with the top three practices near you.
