Private visibility audit

Satvir Atkar

Hi Satvir, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Eastern Ave in Ilford. Right at your door you come first, and that holds at a couple of spots just north-east and east of you. At the other 22 spots you sit outside the first three, and you sit lowest at the spots towards Gants Hill, Seven Kings and Manor Park. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

So close to you, people can find you. A little farther out, someone reaching for their phone may simply not come across you. Could a practice nearby be doing better here?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice comes before you at more spots

Ilford Dental Centre comes before you at 14 of the 25 tested spots, and you come before it at the other 11.

Same search, a dentist, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so the two maps can be read side by side.

It is among the first three at twice as many spots as you, so its map is a concrete local comparison to work from. The next question is who actually reaches your website.

Each dot is a tested search location. Green means a top-three position for that search. The comparison concerns search visibility, not the quality of care.

Beyond the map

Most searches that bring people to your site carry your name

At least three quarters of the estimated visits your site gets from Google come from searches that include your name, like 'essence dental clinic'. These are estimates, but the pattern is clear.

  • A search that carries your name is someone who already has it. What it shows is people coming back to the site, not people weighing up a dentist.
  • The good news: your site does come up among the first results when someone nearby searches for a dentist in Gants Hill, without your name at all.

So which searches bring people who have never heard of you, and where do they land when they do?

The searches behind the numbers

Some people find you without knowing your name

A few searches reach your site without your name. One is someone looking for a dentist in Gants Hill. The others are about whitening, fillers and everyday tooth care advice.

  • 'dentist gants hill' shows up among the first results and lands on your home page, so a person who has never heard of you can still reach you there.
  • 'teeth whitening romford' sits low on the first page, below the results most people click, and leads to your teeth whitening page.

So general dentistry does already bring you a few new faces, and whitening is the treatment page closest behind it. That is the one worth building on. Which leaves the question of where to put your effort first.

Picture patients searching for your treatments in Ilford being able to find you.

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.

You stay with your patients. We carry this part.

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.

Step 4

Systems that keep running

Kept up month after month. You watch it in a shared table, with a regular call, and your own people kept in the loop.

Work we have already done

Not a promise. The work itself.

Four practices, four kinds of work. Delivered, not promised.

Got a question?

A few things you may be wondering

The questions practitioners actually ask me after a page like this.

What would you do first for my practice?

We already have a website, an agency or someone who watches this. Do we start again?

Will this bring the right patients, or just more enquiries?

I searched myself and saw something different. Why?

What does it cost, and how long before something changes?

Do you work with the practice you compared me with?
