We ran the same search, an orthodontist, from 25 spots around Coldharbour Ln in London. Right by your door and at one spot just north, you come up among the first three. Across most of the other spots you sit lower down, and farther out you fall well down the list. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
So someone a few streets away, searching for braces or aligners, may never come across you at all, even though you are close to them.

Orchard Orthodontics LONDON comes before you at all 25 of the spots we tested, both on your own street and farther out across the wider area.
This is the same search, an orthodontist, run from the same 25 spots around you, so the two maps sit side by side.
They sit among the first three at every tested spot, you at two, so that gap is where the ground is to be gained. Which raises the question of who actually reaches your website.

At least a good half of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, searches like 'brixton smiles'. The rest arrive without knowing you at all.
So which of those searches actually bring strangers to your pages, and where do they land?

Beyond your own name, the searches we found are about clear aligners and about replacing teeth. Someone who has never heard of you arrives through those two services.
So new patients reach you through aligner work, already strong, and that is the service worth building on. The question then is what you do with them once they land on your pages.

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.
