Local SEO for Dentists: people who have run this before Agency (2026)
Full-funnel growth for Shopify, BigCommerce, and custom ecommerce brands.
We scale ecommerce brands from $1M to $50M+ by fixing what actually moves revenue, acquisition economics, retention math, and conversion leaks, not dashboards that look pretty.
What we move for ecommerce brands.
How we think about ecommerce marketing.
Most ecommerceagencies sell you channels. We sell you outcomes. Our experienced specialists run paid media, SEO, CRO, email, and creative as one integrated system, because that's how ecommerceactually works. Your Facebook ROAS doesn't exist in isolation; it depends on your AOV, your repeat rate, your email flows, and whether your checkout is leaking 30% of sessions.
We've scaled 200+ ecommercebrands across Shopify↗, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and headless builds. From early-stage DTC upstarts breaking $1M to category-defining brands at $100M+, our playbook is the same: find the biggest leak, plug it, then compound the next one.

Local SEO that brings new patients
Dental practice marketing is hyperlocal. Patients drive past 3-5 dentists to reach the one with better online presence and more reviews.
Map pack dominance
Top 3 Google Maps positions drive 70-80% of new patient calls. Citation cleanup, GBP optimization, and reviews are the path.
Service-specific pages
"Invisalign [city]", "dental implants [city]", "wisdom teeth removal [city]" capture high-intent searches that homepage SEO misses.
Review velocity + responses
4.5+ stars and 100+ reviews dominate map pack. Public, professional responses to negative reviews actually boost rankings.
Insurance + pricing pages
Pages explaining accepted insurance, payment plans, and pricing ranges convert browsers into bookings 2-3x better than vanilla service pages.
Dental directory services charging $300-$500/month for citations are mostly worthless. The 200 directories Google cares about can be set up for under $200 one-time. The ongoing investment should be reviews and Google Business Profile, not citation packages.
Diagnose
before
prescribing.
Our ecommerce playbook is simple: diagnose before prescribing. Week one is a full-funnel audit, paid media structure, SEO opportunity, CRO leak analysis, retention flow inventory, and attribution reality check. Week two is a 90-day roadmap with explicit revenue targets and channel allocation. Month two forward, we execute, one senior team running the whole stack, not siloed specialists pointing fingers.

Local SEO that fills your chair.
Dental local SEO is the highest-leverage marketing investment for most practices. 78% of dental searches are local intent, and the top 3 results in Google's Local Pack capture 60-70% of clicks. Practices outside the top 3 are essentially invisible.
Service-specific local SEO: don't just optimize for 'dentist near me', optimize separately for high-value services like 'invisalign near me,' 'dental implants in [city],' 'cosmetic dentist [city].' Each service deserves its own page with location data, before/after content, financing details, and clear pricing tiers.
GBP optimization for dental: complete every section, add all dental categories you offer, upload photos including team, office, technology, and treatment results (where allowed), post weekly updates, respond to 100% of reviews. Reviews are particularly important, 4.6+ star average is now the threshold for top-ranking dental practices.
Review velocity is the single highest-leverage activity. Going from 50 reviews to 200 reviews in 6 months can move you from page 2 to position 1 in Google's local pack. We build review request automation into the patient journey: post-visit text + email + reception follow-up.
Schema markup specifically helps dental practices: LocalBusiness, Dentist, and MedicalProcedure schema all signal to Google what services you offer and where. We add comprehensive schema to client sites, which directly improves Local Pack ranking and rich snippet eligibility.
Ecommerce
questions,
answered.
Common questions from ecommerce founders and operators.
Ask us directlyMost of our clients are doing $1M to $50M in annual revenue, with a handful of brands above $100M. We occasionally work with earlier-stage brands where founder-fit is strong, but the math works best for brands with established product-market fit and enough revenue to support multi-channel investment.
Not a hard minimum, but most engagements start to make sense at $30k+ monthly ad spend where there's enough volume for meaningful testing and optimization. Below that, we often recommend starting with CRO and retention work before scaling paid.
Yes, we work with any setup, stock themes, Shogun-builds, custom Liquid, or headless Hydrogen. If performance is limiting revenue, we'll flag it in the audit and scope the minimum change to unblock growth, not push a rebuild you don't need.
From signed agreement to first campaign launch is typically 10 to 14 days. Audit work starts in week one while strategy and channel buildouts happen in parallel. Most clients see directional metrics move within 30 days.
Flat monthly retainers based on scope and seniority, never a percentage of ad spend. Retainers typically range $8k–$40k monthly. For select engagements we offer performance-based pricing where we take on some of the downside risk.
Ecommerce has specific buyer behavior, margin structures, and competitive dynamics that don't transfer from other verticals. Playbooks built for SaaS don't work for ecommerce. Tactics that win in fashion fail in furniture. Our team assigns ecommerce-experienced operators who've scaled brands in your specific category, not generalists learning on your budget.
Most engagements start with a 90-day sprint to deliver quick wins and establish measurement discipline. From there, retainers run quarter-to-quarter without long contracts. Category leaders typically stay with us 18-36 months because compounding gains make the math work, but we never require it.
We work best with ecommerce brands between $2M and $100M in annual revenue. Below $2M, the economics of dedicated specialists who do the work rarely pencil for either side. Above $100M, we partner with in-house teams on specific initiatives rather than full-funnel engagements.
Yes. Creative is a primary performance lever in ecommerce, we coordinate UGC networks, produce static and motion ads, design landing pages, and manage creator partnerships. Most engagements ship 30+ new creative concepts monthly, which matches the fatigue velocity modern platforms demand.
Revenue, CAC, contribution margin, payback period, and repeat purchase rate, not metrics that don't move revenue. Monthly business reviews tied to P&L impact. Every tactic traces back to a specific revenue outcome. If we can't explain how an activity moves the business, we don't do it.

Why generic Local SEO fails for Dental Practices
Standard Local SEO playbooks aren't built for Dental Practices. The keyword universe, the buyer journey, the credibility bar, all different. Most Dental Practices brands hiring a generalist agency find that the strategy works for any vertical except theirs, because the agency adapted nothing to dental practices.
Local SEO for Dental Practices requires understanding three constraints: the search behavior of dental practices, the trust signals that move them, and the conversion infrastructure they expect on landing pages. Below is the framework that consistently produces results.
The Local SEO for Dental Practices playbook
We run Local SEO engagements for Dental Practices brands using a 4-phase framework. Each phase has specific deliverables and success criteria:
- Phase 1, Audit and benchmarking (Weeks 1-2): Comprehensive audit of current performance, competitive landscape mapping in Dental Practices, gap analysis vs. top 5 competitors. Output: prioritized opportunity list.
- Phase 2, Foundation (Weeks 3-6): Technical fixes, keyword research specific to dental practices, content/campaign planning. We don't ship anything to production until the foundation is sound.
- Phase 3, Execution (Weeks 7-16): Daily/weekly production, testing, iteration. People who have run this before runs the work directly, the people you meet do the work translating strategy into output.
- Phase 4, Scale and optimize (Weeks 17+): Once channels are producing, we scale spend/volume on what works and kill what doesn't. Quarterly business reviews to recalibrate.
What changes for Dental Practices specifically
Compared to generic Local SEO, our work for dental practices adjusts on five dimensions:
- Keyword targeting, Heavier focus on solution-aware and product-aware keywords rather than top-of-funnel awareness terms. Dental Practices buyers know what they need; they're comparing options.
- Content depth, Long-form, expert-driven content with operator credentials. Dental Practices prospects evaluate credibility carefully before converting.
- Conversion design, Forms, trust signals, and CTAs designed for dental practices expectations. Most generic templates don't convert in Dental Practices.
- Channel mix, Dental Practices-specific channels often outperform Google + Meta. We integrate based on where dental practices actually researches.
- Measurement, Attribution windows extended to match Dental Practices buying cycles. Default 7-day click attribution lies for considered purchases.
Pricing for Local SEO for Dental Practices
Local SEO engagements for Dental Practices typically run $2,500-$15,000/month depending on scope. Single-channel work (just Local SEO) starts at $1,500/month with specialists who do the work delivery. Multi-channel engagements integrating Local SEO with paid media, email, or creative start higher.
All engagements are quarter-to-quarter, no long contracts. We work with dental practices that want a serious partner, not a vendor relationship.
