How is this different from a normal SEO agency?

Agencies bill hours. We bill outcomes — 20 to 100+ medically reviewed pages every month at one transparent monthly price.

Do you actually rebuild my website?

Yes. A practicing MD founder oversees a new, conversion-optimized site published to your own GitHub repo. You own the code and domain and can leave anytime.

Is the content medically accurate?

Yes. Every page is reviewed for medical accuracy before it publishes, with optional provider and treatment copy review.

How long until I see results?

New patient calls typically in 30–60 days, meaningful ranking lifts in 60–120 days, compounding from month four.

Dental

Dental SEO isn't about ranking for "dentist near me." It's about owning the searches that book $4,500 cases.

Cleanings come from your map listing. Implants, All-on-4, Invisalign, and same-day emergencies come from Google search — and they go to whichever practice built a real page for that exact query. Most dental sites have one.

Most dental SEO advice stops at "rank for dentist near me and claim your Google Business Profile." That fills the hygiene chair, but it's not where the money is. The searches that pay for growth are far more specific and far more valuable: someone typing 'how much do dental implants cost,' 'All-on-4 near me,' 'Invisalign vs braces cost,' or 'emergency dentist open now.' Each is a different patient, in a different buying mindset, worth many multiples of a cleaning — and each is a distinct SEO problem. Google can't rank you for 'full arch dental implants [city]' if that phrase lives buried in a bullet on a generic Services page. It ranks the practice that built a dedicated page answering cost, financing, candidacy, and same-day availability for that exact search. This page is about winning those searches. The fastest way to see which ones you're already losing is a free Surge Report™ — drop your URL and it shows the high-value dental queries you should rank for and don't, plus the pages that would fix it.

The keywords that pay vs. the keywords everyone chases

Ranking #1 for 'dentist [city]' feels like a win, but that traffic is mostly hygiene and shoppers already on your map listing. The revenue keywords are the specific, high-intent, high-value ones — and they're where competitors are weakest. On the surgical and restorative side: 'dental implants cost,' 'All-on-4 [city],' 'full arch dental implants,' 'implant supported dentures.' On cosmetic and ortho: 'Invisalign [city],' 'clear aligners cost,' 'porcelain veneers near me,' 'smile makeover.' On urgent access: 'emergency dentist near me,' 'same day dentist,' 'broken tooth,' 'tooth abscess.' Each carries a case value and a buying intent a cleaning never will. Real dental SEO is deciding which of these your market actually searches, then building the page and authority to own it.

Why service pages beat a Services page — every time

The single biggest dental-SEO mistake is one 'Services' page listing everything from cleanings to All-on-4. Google needs a dedicated, in-depth page per high-intent query to rank it, and patients need one to convert. A real implants page covers cost ranges, financing (CareCredit, in-house plans), candidacy, All-on-4 vs. traditional, recovery, and real cases — that's what earns both the ranking and the booking. An Invisalign page needs cost comparison to braces, treatment timeline, and before/after proof. An emergency page needs 'seen today,' hours, and a one-tap call above the fold. One page per service, tuned to one search, is the architecture that wins.

Local SEO and the map pack: where dental gets won or lost

Nearly half of dental search is local, so the Google Map pack and local rankings are non-negotiable — but they're not just 'claim your listing.' Winning locally means a fully built Google Business Profile with the right categories and services, consistent name-address-phone across directories, review velocity on the profile, and — critically — location-specific service pages ('dental implants [suburb],' 'emergency dentist [neighborhood]') that let you rank across your whole draw area, not just your home ZIP. A growth-focused practice usually needs 20-40 pages spanning services × locations to blanket the searches its best cases come from.

What your free Surge Report shows

Instead of guessing, drop your URL and Surge audits your dental SEO specifically: the implant, All-on-4, Invisalign, and emergency queries you should rank for and currently don't, which high-value service pages are missing or too thin to rank, where your map presence trails competitors, and an illustrative dollar figure of missed monthly revenue calibrated to real dental case values — plus the top three plays to recover it. It's free, takes about 60 seconds, and there's no sales call required. If it looks worth acting on, you can book a strategy call from there.

Frequently asked

How is dental SEO different from just having a good website?

A good-looking site can still be invisible in search. Dental SEO is specifically about ranking for the queries high-value patients type — 'dental implants cost,' 'Invisalign [city],' 'emergency dentist near me' — which requires dedicated, in-depth pages per service, local pages for your whole draw area, a fully optimized Google Business Profile, and the technical signals Google uses to rank you. Design gets patients to convert once they arrive; SEO is what gets them there in the first place.

Can a general practice rank for implants and Invisalign against specialists?

Yes, especially locally. Most specialty offices compete on brand and referrals, not on thorough, location-specific content. A general practice that publishes a genuinely deep implants page — cost ranges, financing, All-on-4 options, candidacy, real cases — plus location variants can rank in its market and capture patients actively researching the decision. Even a few extra implant or full-arch cases a month typically dwarfs the cost of building those pages.

How do I find out which dental searches I'm losing right now?

Get a free Surge Report. Drop your URL and it surfaces the specific high-intent dental queries you should be ranking for and aren't, the missing or thin service pages holding you back, how your local and map presence compares, and an illustrative estimate of the monthly revenue those gaps are costing. It's free and takes about a minute — and if the plan looks worth pursuing, you can book a strategy call to have it built for you.
