WEBSITES, LOCAL SEO AND ADS FOR DENTISTS.
A toothache at night, a family moving to a new neighborhood, a patient whose insurance changed: each one ends with a search on a phone. We make sure your practice shows up clearly, answers the first questions and makes it easy to book, without clinical claims your dental board would question.
WHERE THE LEADS LEAK
- No clear answer on insurance. One of the first things new patients want to know is whether you take their plan. When the site is silent, they call the next office or never call at all. A plain page listing the plans you accept, confirmed by your front desk, keeps them on your site.
- Emergency visitors hit a closed door. Someone with a broken tooth searches on a weekend and lands on a site that only shows weekday hours. If you do see urgent cases, say how to reach you and what to do after hours. If you do not, say that too so the profile does not mislead.
- Specialist titles used loosely. Calling a general dentist a specialist, or listing specialty services without the right credential, can break dental board rules in many places. It also invites complaints. We use only the titles and service names you confirm are permitted.
- New patient forms stuck on paper. A patient ready to book at eleven at night will not print a form. A short appointment request on the site, with no health questions, captures the lead while it is warm. Your team follows up in the morning using your usual intake process.
- One profile for a multi-dentist office. Practices sometimes have duplicate or outdated listings for dentists who left, splitting reviews and confusing Maps. Google has specific rules for practitioner listings in a shared office. Cleaning them up keeps calls going to the right front desk.
WHAT THE SETUP LOOKS LIKE
The website
A dental site should answer three things fast: what you treat, whether you take the visitor's insurance, and how to book. We build a page for each main service you offer, from checkups and cleanings to the restorative and cosmetic work you list, and describe what a visit involves in plain words. Nothing on the site promises a result, a pain-free experience or a specific outcome.
We write every page and you review it before and after launch, so the dentist of record signs off on the wording. The site is built in 24 to 48 hours from kickoff once we have your logo, service list and photos of the office. It is quick on mobile, has tap-to-call at the top, a request-an-appointment form and clear directions and parking notes for first-time patients.
The Google Business Profile
For many local searches, the map results with your Business Profile sit above every regular link, so the profile often decides the first call. We set the dentist category that fits your practice, add services like cleanings, fillings or emergency visits only if you provide them, and put in accurate hours including evenings or Saturdays. Accessibility details and appointment links help patients who are comparing offices.
Photos of the reception, treatment rooms and the building entrance help nervous patients feel ready for the first visit. When a patient leaves a review, we reply politely without confirming they are a patient or mentioning any treatment, which matters under privacy law. If several dentists practice at one address, we follow Google's guidelines for individual practitioner listings.
The ads
Google Ads search campaigns catch patients at the moment they type 'dentist near me' or 'emergency dentist' and are ready to call. We target the area around your office, add negative keywords to keep out dental school applicants, supply sellers and job seekers, and track calls and appointment requests as conversions. In some countries, Local Services Ads are available for dentists and show a verification badge.
Meta ads work for things like welcoming new families to the area or letting people know you now open on Saturdays. Health-related ads have platform restrictions, so we avoid targeting based on medical conditions and write around what you offer rather than what a patient may have. Nobody can guarantee rankings or patient numbers; Google decides placement and the ad platforms run auctions.

WHERE WE WORK
GUIDES FOR THIS TRADE
FAQ
Can we call ourselves specialists?
Only if your credentials and your dental board or college allow it. Rules on specialty titles differ between states and provinces, so please confirm with your regulator. We use exactly the wording you approve.
Can we post patient testimonials?
Some regulators restrict testimonials or require specific disclaimers for health services. Check with your dental board what applies before we add any to the site. Reviews on your Google profile are left as patients wrote them, and we never create, buy or reward reviews.
How do you reply to reviews without breaking privacy rules?
Replies thank the reviewer and invite them to contact the office, without confirming they are a patient or mentioning any visit or treatment. Negative reviews get a calm, general reply and an offer to talk offline. You approve the tone before we start.
Does the appointment form collect health information?
No. The form asks for name, phone, email, preferred time and insurance plan name if you want it. Medical history stays in your practice software and your normal intake process.
Can we advertise prices for cleanings or whitening?
Many practices do, but advertised fees may need conditions and disclaimers under your board's rules. Confirm with your regulator what must accompany any fee you publish. We add the exact wording you give us.
