SEO FOR DENTISTS
Rank for the searches new patients type before they book a first appointment. Dental SEO built around insurance, proximity, and trust signals.
SEO THAT FILLS THE CHAIR
Dental patients search locally, compare 2-3 practices, and book with whichever one looks most trustworthy and is closest. The whole decision happens on a phone screen in about 90 seconds. If you're not in the Google Map Pack with 100+ reviews, you're not in the consideration set.
Dental SEO is a specific game: new-patient landing pages, service-specific content (Invisalign, implants, emergency dental), insurance content that ranks for "accepts [insurer]" queries, and a review flywheel that compounds month over month.

SEO for Dentists FAQ
How long until my practice ranks?
Most dental practices see Google Map Pack movement in 6-10 weeks with a properly optimized GBP and review campaign. Organic rankings for competitive terms take 3-6 months.
How much does dental SEO cost?
Most practices invest $1,500-$4,000 per month. Multi-location practices or cosmetic-focused clinics run $4,000-$8,000. No long-term contracts.
Can you help if I'm a new practice?
Yes — new practices are a great SEO fit. We build your foundation right from the start: GBP, service pages, review flywheel, and technical SEO. You rank faster than a competitor trying to fix bad habits.
Do you handle review generation?
Yes. We integrate with most practice management systems (Dentrix, Open Dental, Curve, Eaglesoft) to fire automated post-appointment review requests. Patients who respond positively go to Google; negative feedback comes to you first.
Will patients actually find the website through Google?
Yes — if SEO is done properly. Over 80% of new dental patients come from local search in most markets. We've seen practices go from 3-5 new patients/month from SEO to 25-40+ within a year.
