Private visibility audit

Abbey Dental Barking

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

We ran the same search, a dental clinic, from 25 spots around you in London. Close to your door you come up among the first three at a few of them, and at most of the 25 you sit outside the first three. Farther out, towards the Manor Park, Seven Kings and Beckton edges, you fall well down the list. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

So near you, patients can find you. Out at those far edges, you sit far down the list, past the first three a patient actually sees. Does a nearby practice fare better?

The comparison worth looking at

Ahead of you at 24 of the 25 spots tested

We ran the same search again and Dental & Medical Clinic in Barking came out above your practice at 24 of the 25 spots we tested, from the ones close to you to the ones farther out.

Same search, a dental clinic, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so the two maps sit side by side.

Their name sits in the first three at more than twice as many spots as yours, so there is a concrete local example to work from. Which brings us to 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

Your name is the biggest single search we found

Of the searches we found reaching your site, the biggest single one is your own name, and that share of estimated visits is at least about a third. One of the others is 'dentist barking'.

  • Someone typing your name has already heard of you somewhere. Someone typing dentist in Barking may not have, and that is a different person.
  • The good news: for a search made without your name, your site comes up first and your home page is the page they land on.

So which searches reach you without your name at all, and where do they lead?

The searches behind the numbers

People searching for a dentist in Barking find you

Three of the searches we found carry no name at all. They are searches made in Barking for a dentist, or for a dental clinic.

  • 'dentist barking' shows up among the first results, and it leads to your home page, where your practice introduces itself.
  • 'dental clinic barking' also shows up among the first results, and again it leads to your home page rather than to a page about a particular treatment.

These searches are about general dentistry, which is exactly what you do, and your home page is already there to greet them. Worth knowing who else reaches your pages, and what they came for.

Picture patients searching for your treatments around Thames View 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.

Your Google listing and the pages a new patient lands on. Fixed before anything is built on top.

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.

See the projects
A dental practice near Paris

Every page about implants rebuilt, down to the questions patients ask before deciding. Kept up month after month.

An oral surgeon in Paris

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.

A plastic surgeon in Italy

His whole site reviewed page by page, and the three-month plan, city by city.

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?
