Private visibility audit

Sandeep Kumar

Dr Kumar, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, an orthodontist, from 25 spots around King St in Manchester. You show on the first screen in many spots, especially close by. Farther out, you drop below the top three more often. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

Farther out, someone searching may not come across you, while close to King St they still can. So what does a nearby practice look like on the same search?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice shows up more widely

Compared with you, Joyful Orthodontics appears more often both close to King St and further out, which shows what stronger local coverage can look like here.

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

That suggests a wider local presence is reachable around King St in Manchester; for someone searching on their phone, the next question is whether your website turns that chance into enquiries.

Each dot is a tested search location. Green means a top-three position for that search. The comparison concerns search visibility, not the quality of care.

Beyond the map

About half find you by name

It is an estimate, but about half the people who reach your site through Google were looking for you by name. The other half were not.

  • The named searches suggest many visitors had already heard of you, perhaps from a recommendation, walking past, or as an existing patient.
  • The other half are people around King St in Manchester searching for an orthodontist or treatment without knowing your name, and your site is already helping them find you.

So what are those other searches, and where do they land on your site?

The searches behind the numbers

New people reach you through Invisalign searches

These are searches for Invisalign and cosmetic dental care. They show the services that can put your pages in front of people who do not know your practice yet around King St in Manchester.

  • For 'invisalign manchester', you show up among the first results, and it leads people to your home page.
  • For 'teeth whitening manchester', you show up among the first results, and it leads people to your home page.

The clearest starting point is Invisalign. It is in your own orthodontic field, and it already helps new people nearby find your home page.

Picture the patients searching for Invisalign in Manchester being able to find you easily.

Here is what already works for you, and where we would start putting things right.

None of this is about your care. It is about who sees your name first.

You stay with your patients. We carry this part.

Patients choose before they call: from the first names on the map, from the first results on Google. My team rebuilds what decides that, your Google listing and the pages a patient lands on, and keeps it up every month. Here is what happens if you reply.

Got a question?

A few things you may be wondering

The questions practitioners actually ask me after a page like this.

What would you do first for my practice?

We already have a website, an agency or someone who watches this. Do we start again?

Will this bring the right patients, or just more enquiries?

I searched myself and saw something different. Why?

What does it cost, and how long before something changes?

Do you work with the practice you compared me with?
