We ran the same search, an orthodontist, from 25 spots around Whitton in Twickenham. At your own doorstep you come first. At the other 24 spots you sit outside the first three, and the farther out the spot, the further down the list you fall. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.
So someone a few streets away, phone in hand, looking for orthodontic treatment, may scroll past without ever coming across you. What about a practice nearby?

Across the spots we tested, Orthodontic Practice comes before you at 23 of the 25, including three where it reaches the first three and you sit lower down the list.
Same search, an orthodontist, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so the two maps read side by side.
It reaches the first three at only 3 of those 25 spots, so it is not seen across the area either. The first three are open here. Which brings us to the searches that lead people to your website.

At least two thirds of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, searches like 'eye smile whitton'. Most of those land on your home page. That is an estimate, but a solid one.
So which searches bring people who do not type your name, and where do those searches lead?

Four searches reach you without your name. Two are about teeth, a dentist in Whitton and teeth whitening in Twickenham. Two are about eyes, an eye test and opticians in Twickenham.
So the searches that do not carry your name are for everyday dentistry and eye care, both yours. None of them is someone looking for orthodontic treatment around Whitton. Worth holding on to as we look at what to 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.
