On This Page:
We help dental practices bring in more new patients with an aligned approach: stronger SEO, smarter paid ads, and websites that make it easy for people to book appointments and trust your practice.
Dental SEO
New-patient growth for San Antonio dental practices starts with local SEO. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build high-intent service pages for implants, orthodontics, cosmetic, and emergency care, and strengthen local signals so your rankings turn into real phone calls and booked visits — not just clicks.
What We Do:
01
Google Business Profile
Updated categories, photos, Q&A, and regular posts help your practice stand out in the San Antonio map pack.
02
Service Pages
Dedicated pages for implants, Invisalign, veneers, pediatric, and emergency care make it easy for patients to find the exact treatment they need.
03
Local Signals
Consistent listings, accurate contact info, and mentions across trusted dental directories and community sites help your practice earn credibility and show up in local searches more often.
04
Launch & Monitoring
Once live, we closely monitor performance to catch quick wins and address early inefficiencies.
05
On-Page SEO
Optimized titles, H1s, schema markup, and Core Web Vitals tuning help your site load fast and rank better.
06
Reviews & Reputation
Automated review requests and keyword-aware responses build trust while supporting SEO.
07
Multi-Location Strategy
For multi-office practices, we create unique location pages and GBPs to improve visibility across San Antonio.
08
GEO / AI Visibility (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)
We structure your dental services, locations, and specialty treatments so AI tools clearly understand your practice — improving your chances of being recommended when patients ask things like “best dentist near me,” “emergency dentist nearby,” or “who offers Invisalign.”
Industry Insight: The top three Google search results collectively earn over 54% of all clicks.

Paid Ads for Dentists (Google & Meta)
We separate high-urgency and elective service lines into dedicated campaigns, refine targeting around priority ZIPs and growth zones, and optimize toward the lowest cost per booked visit — not just leads.

Campaigns are divided by service type (emergency, implants, orthodontics, cosmetic) for clean tracking and better performance.
02
Keywords & Negatives

Landing Pages
Each ad connects to a matching page with strong proof, reviews, and booking widgets for easy scheduling.
05
Creative & Offers
Ad messaging focuses on what patients care about most — trust, expertise, and value. We highlight new-patient specials, second opinions, or smile-gallery proof, all leading to clear next steps on your service pages.
06
Tracking & Reporting
We track calls, forms, and booked appointments so you see exactly what’s generating new patients.

FAQs
How long does dental SEO take to start working?
Most practices start seeing movement in 6–12 weeks, especially for local searches like “dentist near me” or “dental implants.” Reaching and holding top positions for competitive services like orthodontics or cosmetic dentistry usually takes 3–6 months.
What’s a good cost per lead (CPL) for dental ads?
It depends on the service and market. Emergency and implant campaigns often range from $80–$250, while general dentistry runs lower. We measure success by cost per booked visit, not just form fills, so you know what’s driving actual new patients.
How can SEO and Google Ads work together for my practice?
SEO builds long-term visibility and trust, while paid ads deliver instant reach. Together, they capture patients at every stage — from urgent care searches to planned cosmetic treatments — creating a steady flow of appointments.
Should my website have separate pages for each dental service?
Yes. Someone searching for “emergency dentist” isn’t looking for “Invisalign.” Dedicated service pages improve your rankings, help patients find exactly what they need, and make your website easier to navigate.
Do I need HIPAA-compliant forms?
Our patient-friendly contact forms are designed to limit PHI exposure, encrypted in transit, and compatible with HIPAA-ready tools like JotForm or FormDr. For practices that require full compliance, optional BAA support is available through approved vendors.
How soon can I expect to see new patient appointments?
Once your website and tracking are live, paid ads can start generating calls within days. SEO builds momentum over time, adding a steady stream of new patients each month as your rankings grow.
How does GEO / AI visibility help dental practices?
GEO helps AI tools understand your dental services, location, insurance options, and specialties. This increases your chances of being recommended when patients ask AI tools things like “best dentist near me,” “who offers Invisalign in my area,” or “emergency dentist open today.” As AI platforms guide more patient decisions, being AI-readable becomes essential for local dental practices.
What makes dental marketing different from other industries?
Patients choose dentists based on trust, location, urgency, and insurance acceptance. Because decisions are often time-sensitive — especially for pain, emergencies, or orthodontic needs — your visibility across Google, Maps, and AI tools needs to be fast, accurate, and high-intent. Dental marketing requires a balance of education, trust signals, and clear next steps.
