Local SEO for Dentists
Are you a dentist practice that wants more patients each month for the services you provide? For example, maybe you offer teeth whitening or something similar and want to be seen for that when people search for “teeth whitening near me.” That is where local SEO comes into play. TM Blast, run by Greg Kristan, can help your business show up locally in Google, Bing, and Apple’s organic search results and map pack listings.

Local SEO for Dentists – How I Would Improve Their Keyword Rankings
If you are a dentist looking to rank better for terms like dental implants, gum grafting, braces, and more, local SEO can help with that. In this video, I share how one company out in Beacon, NY can improve their visibility with some optimizations to their Google My Business account.Google Maps Optimization
When there is a local search intent behind a search, like “Invisalign near Clifton Park NY”, Google displays three map pack listings in their results. Along with displaying three map pack listings, Google will also display traditional web search listings, which I display in the image to the right.
I’ll be optimizing your Google My Business account with the following.
- Updating your description
- Removing unnecessary services
- Adding secondary categories
- Uploading new photos
- Answering questions
- Creating new updates
- Making a product listing
- Adding social media icons
- Performing competitor gap analysis
- And more!
In this example above, a business can get two organic listings on page one of Google. They can get the map listing and the organic listing.
Bing Maps Optimization
Don’t overlook Bing Maps (and Bing Search) when it comes to your Dental Local SEO Strategy. I have clients where Bing makes up around 10-15% of their SEO traffic, which surprises a lot of business owners. Every industry is different, but getting as much traffic as you can from Bing (and Bing Maps) is part of the service.
Below is what I focus on for Bing Maps
- Syncing the changes from Google Maps into Bing
- Updating the service areas if they don’t carry over from Google Maps
- Adding the social media icons that don’t carry over from Google
Apple Business Connect
Apple Maps has been a nice addition to my Dental Local SEO service for my clients. For one of my clients, they get about 3% of their monthly phone calls now from Apple Maps. You can click on this link to see that video!
Below are some of the ways I’ll be optimizing your Apple Maps account for your dental practice.
- Writing your description
- Adding relevant categories
- Updating any relevant Apple-specific information that should be on the profile
- Uploading new photos
- Creating showcases
- Performing competitor gap analysis
- And more!
