We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from 25 spots around St James St in London. Close to you, you hold up well: you are first at your own door and among the first three at a few of the nearby spots. Farther out, you sit lower down or well down the list. Each dot is one of those spots, and Green means you are in the top three there.
So someone a little farther out, searching on their phone for a dentist, may never come across you. Nearer home, that visibility is worth holding on to.

Across the tested spots, you come out above Jan Dental & Aesthetic at slightly more of them than it comes out above you, though its edge sits in the streets closest to you.
We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so both maps read side by side.
So the close-in streets are where a neighbour is seen ahead of you, and your map is an asset overall. Which leaves the website: who actually reaches it?

At least two thirds of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, like 'abbey dental walthamstow'. A smaller part comes from searches that never mention you.
So which searches do not use your name at all, and where do they land?

Two of the searches we found do not use your name at all. Both are someone looking for a dentist near them, one of them specifically for an NHS dentist.
So general dentistry, and NHS care in particular, is where you already show up without your name doing the work. That is the part worth building on. Both land on your home page, which is the one page that has to do the convincing.

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.
