Private visibility audit

Tejesh Patel

Dr Patel, let’s look at your local visibility.

We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around Nutter Ln in London, and looked at what you come up as, nobody else. At your own door you come first, and at one spot just south of you, you are among the first three. At the other spots you sit lower down, and farther out you are a long way down the list. Each dot is one of those spots; Green means you are in the top three there.

Close to home, someone with a phone in hand can find you. A little farther out, you sit far enough down the list that they may not find you. So what is possible here?

The comparison worth looking at

One nearby practice is ahead at most spots

Wanstead Village Dental & Health Centre comes before you at most of the spots we tested, both close to your door and farther out, while you come before it at only a few.

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

Yet it is among the first three at only a handful of those spots, as you are. So neither of you is seen across the area, and the question becomes what happens when someone does reach 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

Most estimated visits come from your own name

At least three quarters of the estimated visits from Google come from people typing your name, searches like 'wanstead dental practice'. These are figures from an estimate, not counted visits.

  • Someone typing your name already has it in mind. They are not choosing a dentist. They are looking for yours.
  • A small share of the estimated visits comes without your name, and you do show on the first page for one of those searches.

So what are people searching for when they do not yet know your name, and where do they land?

The searches behind the numbers

Three searches reach you without your name

Three of the searches we found do not contain your name. They are treatment searches: one for airflow hygiene cleaning, one for teeth whitening, and one for composite bonding.

  • 'airflow hygienist near me' shows up among the first results, and leads straight to your hygiene and airflow polishing page.
  • 'teeth whitening east london' sits beyond the first page, leading to your whitening page, well past where the first results sit.

So the searches without your name are for hygiene and cosmetic work, dentistry you do offer. Airflow hygiene is the one already working and worth building on. Which leaves what to do first.

Picture patients searching for your treatments around Wanstead 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.

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.

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?
