Private visibility audit

Specialist Dental Services

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

We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Harley St in London. At your own address you come up among the first three. Move a street or two away and you drop out of the first three, and at most of the spots you do not appear in the list at all. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means the practice is in the top three there.

So someone a few streets away, phone in hand looking for a dentist, may never come across you. Which raises the question: is that normal here?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice comes before you at nearly every spot

We ran the same search for Thayer Street Dental Centre. It is found somewhere in the list at all 25 spots, and it sits above your practice at 24 of the 25.

Same search, a dentist, from the same 25 spots around you, so the two maps can be read side by side.

Yet neither of you reaches the first three beyond your own doorstep, so the top three around here are still open. That makes your website the next thing worth looking at.

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 people reach your website without typing your name

Of the searches we found, only a small part of your estimated visits come from people typing your name. Far more arrive through questions like 'how much is a full set of dental implants uk'.

  • A search for your name starts from knowing it. A search for what implants cost does not, and your site is what introduces you there.
  • For several of those cost questions your pages come up on the first page, some among the first results, so people weighing up treatment can read you before they choose.

So which of those questions bring people who do not type your name, and where do they land?

The searches behind the numbers

New people reach you through implant cost questions

Most searches that bring people who do not type your name are about what dental implants cost, private or on the NHS. One or two are simply other names people type.

  • Someone typing 'tooth implant cost uk nhs' finds you among the first results, and lands on your guide to what dental implants cost in the UK, private versus NHS.
  • 'how much is a full set of dental implants uk' brings you up low on the first page, below the results most people click, on that same cost guide.

So the searches arriving without your name are about implants, and they land on your own cost guide. That is a real strength to build on, and it raises the next question: how would we take it on?

Picture patients searching for your treatments around Marylebone 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.

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?
