SEO and AEO for Dental Practices

Are you showing up when potential patients search "Best Dentist in Your City" or "Great Dentists for Kids in Your City" or "Dentists Open on Weekends in Your City"? If your practice is not on the first page, those patients are booking with someone else, usually within the hour.

We help businesses improve their visibility in traditional search engines and now in AI search too. Patients are not only typing into Google anymore. They are asking Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for a recommendation, and those tools answer with whatever they can find, understand, and trust about local practices. If your site is not built to be found and cited, you are invisible at the exact moment someone is choosing a dentist.

The Searches That Actually Fill Your Chairs

New patients rarely search for "dentist." They search for a specific problem, a specific need, or a specific constraint:

• "Best dentist in Your City"
• "Great dentists for kids in Your City"
• "Dentists open on weekends in Your City"
• "Emergency dentist near me"
• "Dentist accepting new patients in Your City"
• "Invisalign in Your City"
• "Dental implants cost in Your City"
• "Dentist for nervous patients in Your City"

Each of those is a different page, a different intent, and a different patient. Most practice websites have one "Services" page and hope for the best.

What We Do

Technical and on-site SEO

We audit how your site is crawled, indexed, and understood. Missing location signals, thin service pages, broken internal linking, slow load times, and pages Google has never even indexed all quietly cap how many patients can find you.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

AI search tools favour content that is clear, specific, and easy to extract. We make sure your hours, locations, services, insurance details, and specialties are stated in a way Claude, ChatGPT, and AI Overviews can pick up and repeat back when someone asks for a dentist in your area.

Local and off-site authority

Rankings and AI citations both depend on being referenced elsewhere. We identify the directories, local listings, review profiles, and community mentions that actually move the needle for a practice in your city.

Content built around patient intent

Fewer, better pages targeting the searches that produce booked appointments, not generic blog posts about flossing.

Case Study: Traffic That Finally Moved

A local in-person service business came to us frustrated. They had been paying another agency to write blog posts for months and had not seen any real spike in website traffic. On top of that, the owner wanted to take a vacation later in the year and was worried about lead flow drying up while they were away, without having to spend their time on sales and marketing to keep it going.

I audited their website and presented a set of recommendations covering both on-site and off-site areas of improvement. Within one month:

• Click-through rate improved from 0.5% to 0.7%
• Total clicks were up nearly 20%
• 77 pages on their website went from 0 search impressions to non-zero search impressions
• 4,502 search impressions were gained from those newly ranking pages

"I had the pleasure of working with Matt on improving the SEO performance of our website, and I was impressed with both his expertise and communication throughout the project. Within the first month, we started seeing measurable results. More than 75 pages that previously had no visibility in Google began appearing in search results, generating thousands of new search impressions. We also saw our click-through rate improve and overall organic clicks increase by nearly 20%. Matt was proactive, easy to work with, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. If you're looking for someone who understands SEO and can deliver tangible improvements, I'd be happy to recommend him."
