Dental & DSO SEO

Your next patient searched “dentist near me” 6 seconds ago. They didn't find you.

Most dental practices have the same problem: exceptional clinical work, invisible online presence. Our AI agents run a 21-phase audit, find every gap, and build the content and technical foundation that gets you into the local 3-pack — where 42% of patients click first.

The problem

Every dental practice hits the same ceiling. Great work. No visibility.

01

Patients search — you don't show up

"Dentist near me" gets 1.2M searches/month. The local 3-pack gets 42% of all clicks. If your practice isn't in those top 3 results, patients call the one that is. It's not about being a better dentist — it's about being visible when they search.

See where you rank
02

You're renting visibility through ads

Dental keywords are among the most expensive in Google Ads. "Emergency dentist," "dental implants near me," "best dentist in [city]" — each click costs a fortune. A properly optimized site captures the same traffic organically. We build the foundation so you stop paying for every patient.

Calculate your organic potential
03

Reviews trickle in while competitors dominate

88% of patients read online reviews before choosing a dentist. Your competitor has 340 reviews averaging 4.8 stars. You have 47. We audit your review velocity, response strategy, and sentiment across Google, Yelp, and Healthgrades — then build a system that generates reviews consistently.

Audit your reputation
04

AI search is here — and you're invisible

Patients are already asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overview for dentist recommendations. We test your visibility across 5 AI platforms. Most practices score 0 out of 5. The ones who optimize for this early will own the next wave of patient acquisition.

The audit

What a dental SEO audit actually covers

Not a surface-level scan. We run 21 phases and hundreds of individual checks. Here are the ones that matter most for dental practices:

Phase 2

Technical SEO

Crawlability, indexation, site structure — the foundation everything else sits on

Phase 3

On-Page SEO

Service page optimization, title tags, internal linking for dental keywords

Phase 10

Core Web Vitals

Page speed directly affects mobile rankings — most patients search on phones

Phase 11

Local SEO & GBP

GBP completeness, categories, attributes, photos, posts — the biggest local ranking factor

Phase 14

AI Visibility

How you appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot

Phase 15

Reputation

Review velocity, response rate, sentiment analysis across Google, Yelp, Healthgrades

Phase 4

Content Audit

Service pages, procedure pages, location pages — what's missing, thin, or cannibalizing

Phase 6

Keyword Gaps

High-intent dental keywords your competitors rank for but you don't

Plus 13 more phases covering backlinks, social media, brand SERP, voice search, accessibility, entity audit, topical authority, CRO, penalty checks, and multi-location optimization.

How it works

172 AI agents analyze your site, GBP, reviews, content, technical setup, AI visibility, and local signals — in parallel. Human expert reviews every finding before delivery.

Ongoing

Case study

Multi-location DSO. 3 offices. Invisible on Google.

A 3-location dental group with strong clinical reputation but zero organic visibility. Two previous agencies had delivered generic reports with no measurable results.

Why now

Dental SEO is changing faster than most practices realize.

Google AI Overviews now answer dental queries directly

Google pulls information from the practices with the best-structured content. If your site doesn't have clear, well-organized service pages with proper schema markup, you're invisible to this new layer of search that appears above the traditional results.

Patients ask ChatGPT and Perplexity for recommendations

These AI platforms favor practices with strong review profiles, entity presence on Wikipedia and knowledge bases, and content structured for easy extraction. The window to get ahead of competitors on AI search is still open — but it's closing.

DSOs are investing heavily in digital — solo practices must keep up

Large dental groups are hiring agencies and building in-house SEO teams. Independent practices can compete with the same depth of audit and optimization — without the same budget — by leveraging AI agents that do the work at scale.

Common questions

What dental practices ask before they start.

How is this different from the SEO audit my current agency runs?+

Most agency audits check 15-20 things: title tags, broken links, page speed. Ours runs 21 full phases with 300+ checks — including AI visibility across 5 platforms, entity presence, topical authority scoring, and GBP optimization at a level most agencies don't touch. Plus, you get dual scoring frameworks so you know exactly where you stand.

Will this work for a solo practice, or is it only for DSOs?+

Both. Solo practices get the same 21-phase depth as a DSO. The difference is scope: a solo practice gets one audit with one GBP optimization. A DSO gets per-location audits, centralized GBP management, content differentiation strategy, and a dashboard for the operations team.

How long does the audit take?+

30-60 minutes for the AI agents to run all 21 phases. A human expert reviews every finding before delivery. You'll have your full report within 48-72 hours.

Do you write the content, or just tell us what to write?+

Both options. The audit gives you a prioritized list of what to create. If you want us to do the writing, our Content Engine generates pages using a 42-rule writing framework, each scored before going live. Or our Website Build service handles everything from research to deployed site.

What AI platforms do you check?+

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, and Bing Copilot. We test whether your practice appears when someone asks each platform for dentist recommendations in your area.

We have 3 locations — do you audit each one separately?+

Yes. Each location gets its own 21-phase audit with its own scores. You'll also get a comparison view showing which location is performing best and worst, so your operations team can prioritize.
