We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Broadfields Ave in Edgware. Close to your door you are easy to find, and you come first at your own address. Farther out, towards Stanmore and Colindale, you sit well down the list. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.
So someone in those outer pockets, phone in hand with toothache, may never come across you. Near you, that presence is worth holding on to. What makes it possible here?

We ran the same search for Mill Hill Dental Practice. It comes ahead of you at 11 of the 25 tested spots, and you come ahead of it at the other 14; close to your street your lead holds.
Same search, a dentist, from the same twenty-five spots around you, so the two maps sit side by side.
Both maps show green dots at a similar handful of spots, so neither of you is seen across the whole tested area. Near you, you hold ground. The question moves to your website.

About two thirds of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, like 'edge dental care'. That is an estimate. The rest come from searches that never mention it.
So which searches carry no name at all, and where do they land?

Four of the searches we found carry no name at all. Someone simply looks for a dentist in Edgware, or for implants, whitening or root canal treatment there.
These searches name no practice, only dentistry in Edgware, and they reach your own pages. General dentistry and implants already do that work, so they are the services worth building on. Which leaves the question of what to fix 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.
