We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Ickenham in Uxbridge. Right at your door you come first, and at one spot just west of you you are among the first three. Across the rest, you are there in the list but further down, and that weakens the farther out we go. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
So someone on their street a few minutes away, phone in hand, looking for a dentist, may scroll past without ever seeing you. Is that normal here?

We ran the same search for Kingsend Dental : Ruislip. Across the spots we tested, it comes before you at most of them, and you come before it at a handful.
Same search, a dentist, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so the two maps sit side by side.
It shows among the first three at far more of those spots than you do. That is a concrete local comparison to work from, no guarantees. Which raises the question of who actually reaches your website.

At least two thirds of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, like 'denpure ickenham'. The rest arrive another way, searching for a dentist or a problem.
So what are those people searching for, the ones who do not type your name, and where do they land?

Some searches bring people who do not type your name. One is simply someone nearby looking for a dentist. The others are worries: gum disease, and gaps between teeth.
These are general dentistry worries, and they are your field, so the gum and gap pages are worth building on. Among the searches we found, none on the implant side brings in people who do not know your name. Which raises the question of what we would do first.

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.
