Private visibility audit

Dr Pavan Kumar

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

We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Perivale in Greenford. At your own address you come first, and at one spot just north of it you sit among the first three. At the other spots you are further down the list, and further out you are well down it. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

So someone a street or two away, phone in hand, looking for a dentist may simply not come across you. Is that normal round here, or does a neighbouring practice fare better?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice comes before you at most spots

We ran the same search and ICON Dental Wembley came before you at most of the spots, including close to you, while you came before it at the rest.

This is the same search for a dentist, made from the same spots around your practice, so both maps read side by side.

It reaches the first three at only a few more spots than you do, so neither of you is widely seen here. The first three are open around here. The other question is who already 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

Nearly all the visits to your site come from your name

Of the searches we found, nearly all the estimated visits to your site come from people typing your name, like 'silicon dental centre'. Only a small part comes from searches without it.

  • A search with your name in it comes from someone who has already heard of you. The choosing happens earlier, before your name is known.
  • Your site does show among the first results when someone nearby searches for a dentist in Perivale, so there is a foothold with people who do not know you yet.

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

The searches behind the numbers

One search brings new people, and it is general dentistry

Beyond your name, the searches that reach you split in two: someone simply looking for a dentist near you, and treatment searches like an Obagi chemical peel.

  • 'perivale dentist' sits among the first results, and it is the clearest route you have for someone who has never heard of you.
  • 'obagi chemical peel' sits beyond the first page, leading to your own Obagi chemical peel page, so someone weighing up that treatment is unlikely to see it.

So general dentistry is the one thing already bringing new people to you, and it is worth building on. The treatment searches behind it sit too far back to be found. Which raises a fair question: what is working well here, and what would we fix first?

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

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

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?
