Private visibility audit

Withington Dental Care

Hi there, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from 25 spots around Withington in Manchester. At your own door you come first, and no other practice sits above you there. Move one street out and you drop below the first three at every other spot we tested, further down the further out we went. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

So someone a few streets away, phone in hand looking for a dentist, may scroll past you. Which raises a fair question: is that normal here?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice appears higher at more spots

Across the same spots, Night and Day Emergency Dentist Manchester comes before you at 19 of the 25, and you come before it at the other 6.

Same search for a dental clinic, same spots around you, so the two maps can be read side by side.

It reaches the first three at clearly more spots than you do, so a patient nearby sees its name more often. Its map shows what is possible here, without promising the same result. So who actually reaches your website?

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

Both kinds of visitor reach your website

Of the searches we looked at, a good share of the estimated visits comes from people typing your name, and a smaller share from people simply searching 'dentist withington'. These are estimates.

  • A search with your name in it points to someone who already has the name; a search for a dentist nearby does not, and those people are still choosing between practices.
  • For that nearby search without your name, your site comes up on Google's first page, which is how a stranger can land on your home page at all.

So which searches bring you people who have never heard of you, and where do they end up?

The searches behind the numbers

One search brings people who do not know you

Most searches without your name are not about treatments at all. They are people typing other practice names, or dentists in other parts of Manchester. Only one is a local dentist search.

  • 'dentist withington' shows on Google's first page, and the person lands on your home page, the page that currently carries no welcome, no team and no reason to book.
  • 'dentist withington manchester' sits beyond the first page, so someone adding the city to the same search does not reach you through it.

So one plain search for a dentist in your own area already brings strangers to you, and that is the one worth building on. The trouble is where they land. What should that first page do for them?

Picture patients searching for your treatments around Withington being able to find you.

Here is what already works for you, and what we would fix first.

What we would fix first
  • For "dental clinic" around Withington, you are outside the first three in most tested spots.
  • Night and Day Emergency Dentist Manchester comes before you at 19 of the 25 tested spots.

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.

Step 4

Systems that keep running

Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.

Work we have already done

Not a promise. The work itself.

Four practices, four kinds of work. Delivered, not promised.

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?
