We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Stanmore in Harrow. At your own address you come first. At the eight spots just around it, and at every spot farther out, you sit outside the first three, and farther away you fall far 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, phone in hand, looking for a dentist, may scroll past without ever coming across you. Is that normal here, or can a practice nearby do better?

We ran the same search for 24/7 Dental Clinics. Out of the 25 spots we tested, it came above your practice at 19, and you came above it at the other 6.
It is the same search, a dentist, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so both maps can be read side by side.
Their map shows green at 10 of the 25 spots, against 1 for yours, so someone a few streets away is far more likely to see them first. That gives you a concrete local example to work from. Which brings us to your website.

At least four in five of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, searches like 'whitestar dental harrow'. Only a small part of those estimated visits comes from searches without your name.
So which searches bring you people who do not type your name, and where do they end up?

The searches reaching you without your name are mostly about pain: a jaw that aches on one side, a face that hurts. One is about gum disease, and one about what to drink.
So new people reach you through jaw pain, which is real dentistry and worth building on. None of these searches is someone looking for a dentist around Stanmore in Harrow. That is the gap, and we come to what to do with it.

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.
