We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Harley St in London. Right at your own door you sit among the first three. Move a street or two out and you are already far down the list, and farther out again you drop out of it altogether. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
So someone a short walk away, phone in hand, looking for a dentist, may never come across you. Which raises the question: is that simply how this area works?

We ran it for Thayer Street Dental Centre too. Across the spots we tested, it came before you at nearly all of them, though neither of you reaches the first three out there.
Same search, a dentist, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so the two maps read side by side.
Neither map puts you in front of a patient out in the area, which turns the question to what happens once someone reaches your website.

A small part of the estimated visits from Google comes from searches with your name. More arrives through searches like 'porcelain veneers london'. These are estimates, but the pattern is clear.
So which searches are bringing these new people in, and which pages do they land on?

Six of these searches do not contain your name. They are about veneers, dental implants and teeth whitening. Treatment searches, not your name, and each lands on the matching page.
These are all dentistry, your own field, and veneers and implants are already doing the work of introducing you. That is the strength worth building on.

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.
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.
WhatsApp or a voice note. Tell me which part of this page matters most to you. I reply myself.
We agree the priorities and what Forge will deliver, in writing. It is the only real time this asks of you.
Your Google listing and the pages a new patient lands on. Fixed before anything is built on top.
Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.
Four practices, four kinds of work. Delivered, not promised.
See the projectsEvery page about implants rebuilt, down to the questions patients ask before deciding. Kept up month after month.
The page patients land on before they book, her Google advertising, and a weekly letter to the colleagues who refer to her.
Every question his patients ask, mapped, then written and linked from his own publications.
His whole site reviewed page by page, and the three-month plan, city by city.
For a given specialty. So we do not work with the practice on the second map above, and would not while working with you.
Then very little: the odd decision, and your clinical eye where it matters.
If you stop, you keep all of it. No minimum term.
Agreed in writing. Nobody honest can promise you a position on Google, and we will not.
I'm a doctor. I used to run a group of clinics, and I know this part of the job is not why anyone chooses medicine. Today my team does it for practices like yours: the research, the writing and the set-up. You come in only where clinical knowledge matters.
