We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from 25 spots around The Avenue in London. Right at your own door you sit among the first three. Move a street or two away and you drop far down the list, and at eight of the spots farther out you do not appear at all. 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 today may never come across you. Which raises the obvious question: is that normal around here?

The Avenue Dental Surgery comes before you at all twenty-five of the spots we tested, including the one at your own door, where you sit just behind it.
Same search, a dental clinic, from the same spots around you, so the two maps sit side by side.
Yet it reaches the first three at only one spot, just as you do. So nobody here is being seen across the area, and those first three places are still open. Which raises the question of who finds your website today.

We looked at the searches leading people to your website. None of them is someone typing your name. They are searches like 'orthodontist ealing', the words someone uses when they are looking for a dentist rather than for you. These figures are estimates.
So which searches are these, and where do they land?

The searches we found that reach you without your name are for treatments: whitening, orthodontics, composite veneers. Each one lands on your own page for that treatment.
Orthodontics is the one already on the first page, so that page is the sensible place to build. Someone searching for whitening has to look past the first page to reach you. Which raises the question of what we would do first.

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.
