For dental clinics

Dental SEO and marketing, measured across your whole area.

Nobody crosses town for a cleaning. A new patient searches, looks at the three clinics on the map, reads the reviews, and books. The radius is small and the competition inside it is fierce.

Does ChatGPT name you when someone asks who to call?

More people now ask an AI assistant before they open the map. We ask it the questions your customers ask, in your town, and show you whether you are named and who is named instead.

Dental SEO is a small-radius game

A patient looking for a new dentist rarely travels more than a few kilometres, so the clinic that holds the map on the streets around it gets the call. Two clinics a few blocks apart can each own different neighbourhoods, and a single ranking number hides which one you are.

Most new-patient searches are urgent or practical: a broken tooth, a clinic taking new patients, one that bills insurance directly. Those are the searches we measure first, street by street around the clinic.

What their customers type: “dentist accepting new patients”, “emergency dentist near me”, “dentist open saturday”, “direct billing dentist”, “invisalign cost”, “kids dentist”.

What we set up for a dental practice

  • Primary category set to Dentist, with Emergency dental service added only where the clinic offers it, and Pediatric dentist only where a certified specialist practises. Never Cosmetic dentist: in Ontario it is not a title a dentist may use
  • Services listed in patients' words: new patient exams, emergency appointments, implants, aligners, direct billing
  • Pages for the treatments and neighbourhoods where the map shows you missing
  • Hours, holiday hours and the online booking link kept exact, because open-now matters most for emergencies
  • Review requests to every patient after a visit, with nothing offered and nobody filtered

Provincial dental colleges set advertising rules, such as limits on testimonials and on calling a dentist a specialist without a recognized specialty. Every page and post we write stays inside them. Dental SEO pricing, in CAD.

Pages we'd build for a dental practice

  • Dentist accepting new patients in Abbotsford
  • Emergency dentist in Abbotsford, open today
  • What Invisalign costs in Abbotsford
  • Direct billing dentist in Abbotsford

Written for the zones where you don't appear, not for a keyword list.

Our radius is tiny. Is a grid still useful?

More useful, not less. A tight radius means the grid is dense, and it shows the streets where you lose to the clinic four blocks over. That is a difference you can actually act on.

One dental practice per area

We won't work for two dental clinics competing for the same streets. If a dental practice that covers most of your service area is already a client, we'll tell you and suggest a neighbouring town instead. If your areas only touch, we tell you both before any work starts. How we decide
