We ran the same search, a cosmetic dentist, from spots around you in Herne Bay. This map does not yet give a clear read on where you appear across those spots. So we cannot tell here where you are among the first three and where you drop. Each dot is one of those spots. Green means the practice is in the top three there.

This may mean someone searching nearby does not get a consistent view of your practice. So what does a stronger nearby presence look like on the same search?

Set beside Sea Street Dental, the same search shows how a nearby practice appears close to you and further out.

This is the same search, made from the same spots around you, so the two maps can be read side by side.

That gives you a fair local benchmark in Herne Bay. A person searching on their phone can only choose what they can find, so the next question is your website.

In Google, none of the searches we found used your practice name, so people are not reaching your site by looking for you by name.

• That usually means people who have heard of you another way are not yet searching for your practice name to reach the site.
• So the people who do reach your site arrive without your name in mind.
• Anything reaching your website is coming from other searches entirely.

So what are people typing when they do not know your name yet?

These searches are about general dental information, aftercare and retainers, plus one search by name.

• 'structure of the tooth' shows up among the first results and leads to your page explaining tooth anatomy.
• 'warwick lodge' shows up among the first results and leads to your home page.

The useful point is that the pages bringing new people to your practice are general dentistry information pages, not cosmetic dentistry. Someone looking for a cosmetic dentist in Herne Bay does not arrive this way yet.
