We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Kew Rd in Richmond. At half the spots close to your door you come up among the first three, and at your own address you come first. Farther out, across most of the tested spots, you sit below the first three. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
So someone in the St Margarets or Grove Park direction, phone in hand with a sore tooth, may simply not come across you. How does a practice near you fare on the same search?

We ran the same search for Perfect Smile Richmond. It comes before you at some spots, including close by, but you come before it at most of the spots we tested.
Same search for a dentist, same spots around your practice, so the two maps can be read side by side.
Your local map is an asset: someone nearby reaching for a dentist can already find you more often than them. So the question moves to your website, and who actually arrives there.

Of the searches we looked at, at least about half the estimated visits come from people typing your name. Others arrive through searches like 'emergency dentist richmond', with no name at all.
So which searches bring you people not looking for you by name, and where do they land?

Some searches that lead to your site carry no name at all. A few are for a dentist in Richmond, urgently or privately, or for cosmetic and brace work. Others are general questions about teeth and tongues.
So people searching without your name do arrive, and they arrive for dentistry you clearly offer. Urgent and cosmetic care are the two worth building on, and that is where we would start.

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.
