Rank #1 for 'Dentist Near Me'

Single-location practices in average markets typically invest $1,200-1,800/month. Competitive markets or DSOs with multiple locations cost more because there is more work—more location pages, more Google profiles to optimize, more content to create. We price based on what it actually takes to compete.

Google Ads works from day one but charges you every single click—$15-40 per click for dental terms in most markets. SEO takes months to build but then generates patient calls without per-click costs. Smart practices run both: ads for immediate flow while SEO builds the long-term engine.

Competitive markets are where SEO makes the most financial sense. In places like Austin or Denver, PPC clicks cost $30-45 each. Organic rankings cost nothing per click. The upfront investment in SEO pays off faster when the alternative is paying premium ad rates indefinitely.

Treatment-specific keywords convert best: "dental implant cost," "Invisalign consultation," "emergency tooth extraction." Generic "dentist near me" has more volume but also more competition from corporate practices. We focus on high-intent terms where patients are ready to book, not just browsing.

The map pack is where most dental searches end. When someone Googles "dentist near me," they see the map before anything else. If you are not in those top 3 spots, a huge portion of searchers never sees your practice. GBP optimization is usually the fastest win we deliver.

Not always, but often. Many dental websites were built to look pretty, not to rank. If your site has no individual pages for each treatment, loads slowly, or was built more than 4 years ago, rebuilding is usually faster than trying to patch it. We will tell you honestly which approach makes sense.

Rankings show if we are moving in the right direction. Traffic shows if more people are finding you. Conversions—calls, form fills, online bookings—show if that traffic becomes patients. We track all three and report monthly with specifics on which keywords are driving appointments.

Everything we do is HIPAA-safe. We do not use patient names, treatment details, or photos without documented consent. Forms are encrypted. We have worked with enough dental practices to know where the compliance lines are and stay well inside them.

Yes—each location needs its own Google Business Profile, its own location page, and its own local content. We have worked with DSOs running 30+ locations. The key is building local authority for each office while leveraging your overall brand strength.

A new dental patient is worth $3,000-5,000 in lifetime value depending on your mix of services. If SEO brings you 20 new patients a month at an effective cost of $75 per acquisition, you are looking at $60,000-100,000 in patient value from a $1,500 monthly investment. The math compounds as rankings improve.

We have writers who specialize in dental content—accurate enough that dentists do not cringe reading it, accessible enough that patients understand what you offer. Every page covers patient concerns, procedure details, and what makes your practice different. All optimized to rank.

Patients choose dentists locally—usually within 10-15 minutes from home or work. Generic SEO agencies often miss this hyperlocal focus. Dental SEO also requires understanding treatment funnels: someone searching "do dental implants hurt" is earlier in the journey than someone searching "implant dentist near me."
