Local SEO for Dentists & Dental Practices
Patients search "dentist near me" when they need care. Does your practice appear? Scan your Google Maps rankings from 21 locations and see exactly where patients find you — and where they find your competitors instead.
Who this is for
Dentists, dental practice owners, orthodontists, and dental office managers looking to attract more patients through Google Maps visibility.
Challenges You Face Today
Patients choose the first dentist they see on Google Maps
Over 70% of patients looking for a new dentist start with a Google search. If your practice does not appear in the top 3 results from their location, they are booking with a competitor. You need to know exactly where you are visible and where you are not.
Specialty searches require separate tracking
Patients search for general dentistry, but also for "emergency dentist," "teeth whitening," "Invisalign," and "pediatric dentist." Your ranking can vary dramatically between these terms. Without tracking each keyword, you are guessing where your marketing should focus.
New practices with aggressive marketing are moving in
Corporate dental chains and new practices often invest heavily in Google reviews and local SEO from day one. Even established practices can lose ground quickly if a new competitor opens nearby and builds a strong Google presence.
How GBP Rank Tracker Helps
Track rankings for the searches patients actually use
Scan for "dentist near me," your specialty keywords like "cosmetic dentist [city]," and emergency terms. See your ranking for each keyword across 21 geographic points and understand exactly which searches drive new patients.
See which competing practices dominate your area
Every scan reveals the top-ranking dental practices at each grid point. Identify if one competitor consistently outranks you, check their review count and rating, and develop a strategy to close the gap.
Measure the impact of your marketing efforts
Run a baseline scan before starting any local SEO work, then scan monthly to measure progress. Share before-and-after reports with your marketing team or agency to ensure their efforts are producing real ranking improvements.
Example Keywords You Can Track
Each scan supports up to 3 keywords. Here are examples of what businesses like yours typically track.
How a dental practice outranked a corporate chain
A solo dental practice in Phoenix scanned for "dentist near me" and found they ranked #6 on average — behind two corporate chains with 1,000+ Google reviews each. The dentist could not match them on review volume alone. Instead, they optimized their Google Business Profile for specialty searches like "cosmetic dentist Phoenix" and "emergency dentist Scottsdale," added before-and-after photos of procedures, and posted weekly health tips. Within four months, they ranked #2 for specialty terms and #4 for the general "dentist near me" keyword, driving a 35% increase in new patient calls.
