We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from 25 spots around Kingsbury Rd in London. At your own address you come up among the first three. Everywhere else we tested you sit below that, and farther out you fall a long way down the list. Each dot on the map 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 scroll past you entirely. Would a practice nearby fare any better here?

We ran the same search for Kenton Dental Centre, and it comes before you at 23 of the 25 spots we tested, both close to you and further out.
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 barely more spots than you do. Neither of you is seen across this area, so those top places are open. Which raises what your website does next.

At least three quarters of the estimated visits your site gets from Google come from searches typing your name, like 'pristine dental'. Those searches were already looking for you, not for a dentist.
So which searches bring people who have never heard of you, and where do they land?

Six of the searches we found do not use your name. One is someone nearby looking for a dentist. The others are veneers, private dentistry and other practitioners' names, and they sit beyond the first page.
So one local search for a dentist is doing nearly all the work of bringing new people, and it lands them on your home page. That is the search worth building on. Which brings us to 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.
