Local Dental SEO Tips and Ideas: Google Maps Optimization
The most effective way to increase your new patient flow in 2022 is through first page rankings on the Google map (AKA the Google Map 3-Pack)
More than 2/3rds of potential patients use the Google map to find a local dentist. 92% of these likely patients find the dentists they want on the first page.
Most dentists aren’t aware that you can optimize your Google business listing, resulting in out-ranking your competition. It’s like website SEO but for ranking on the Google map rather than organic listings below the map.
If you can get your Google listing to rank on the first page of Google maps, you’ll dramatically increase your new patient phone calls. We know because we’ve been doing this for years and tracking it.
Watch this informative webinar which shows several practices that have increased rankings, website clicks, phone calls, and new scheduled patients with Google Maps SEO.
