Overview

Be the Practice Patients Find First

SEO for dentists is the work that puts a dental practice in front of people searching for a dentist nearby, whether they need an emergency appointment tonight, want to register with a new practice, or are researching implants or Invisalign.

Dental search is local and competitive. Most patients choose from the three practices Google Maps shows first, and higher-value private treatments attract competition from practices well beyond the town centre.

We are a Manchester SEO and web development team. We track Google Maps rankings with our own GeoGrid scanner and build fast websites, so a practice gets both the visibility and the website that turns visits into bookings.

Dental marketing done properly

What Dental SEO Has to Get Right

Health content must be accurate and trustworthy. Google holds health-related pages to a high standard, and patients do too. Treatment pages should be clear about what a treatment involves, who it suits and what to expect, and should be reviewed by a registered dental professional at the practice.

Advertising rules still apply online. Dental websites in the UK must follow the General Dental Council's guidance on ethical advertising and the Advertising Standards Authority's rules. That means no misleading claims, clear information about who provides treatment, and care with before-and-after images and testimonials.

Private treatments need their own strategy. Searches for implants, Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry are worth far more to a practice than general searches, and patients research them for longer. Detailed, honest treatment pages and FAQs help a practice rank and win those patients.

The website has to make booking easy. Most dental searches happen on phones. A slow site, a hidden phone number or a complicated booking process sends patients back to Google and on to the next practice.
