We ran the same search, a dentist, from 25 spots around King St in Richmond. At your own address you come up among the first three. At the eight spots just around you, and farther out, you sit far down the list, and at seven of them you do not appear 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 scroll past you entirely. Which raises the question: what does a nearby practice see on the same map?

We ran the same search and The Smile Studios Richmond came before you at all 25 spots, including the one at your own door, where it sat just above you among the first three.
Same search for a dentist, same 25 spots around King St in Richmond, so the two maps can be read side by side.
So this map shows what is reachable here. Their listing earns a look, without promising the same result. The next question is who actually reaches your website once they find you.

We looked at the Google searches that lead people to your website. None of them uses your name. One we found is 'the richmond dentist', and it reaches your home page. These are estimates.
So what do those people type when they are looking for a dentist and have never heard of you?

Only one search we found brings someone to you without your name, and it is a general one: a person simply looking for a dentist in Richmond rather than for you.
So the one search we found that could bring you a new patient is dentistry, your own field, and it reaches your home page, well past the first page of results. What that page then says matters next.

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.
