Dentists, do you want more patients to find your practice easily online? Local SEO helps your practice appear first when someone searches “dentist near me.” For deeper insights, see our full presentation here.

‍

1. Update Your Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile (GBP) acts like your online business card. Regularly update your address, phone number, and photos so local patients find you effortlessly.

2. Use Local Keywords

Include your city or neighborhood in your website content, such as "Chicago dentist." This signals your location to Google, making your practice easier to find.

3. Get Listed in Directories

Be consistent with your information across directories like Yelp or Healthgrades. Accurate listings help Google trust your practice and rank you higher.

4. Ask for Reviews

Encourage satisfied patients to leave reviews on Google. Most patients trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Always respond kindly.

5. Write Local Content

Blog about local dental tips or community events. Local content strengthens your online presence and attracts nearby patients.
