+THE MAP PACK

Local SEO.

Built to compete for the top of the map.

From $900/mo what moves this number →

When someone nearby types “dentist near me”, the three practices on the map get the calls. Local SEO is the discipline of making yours one of them — and keeping it there.

No one can honestly guarantee a map ranking — we guarantee the work, and you watch the movement month by month.

A patient searching for a nearby dentist on a map

✦THE QUIET LEAK

Why this matters now.

Patients don’t scroll past the map. If your practice isn’t in that top cluster — or shows up with thin, stale signals — the patient who was two blocks away books with the practice that is. Most owners never see this happen; the call simply never comes.

→WHAT CHANGES FOR YOUR PRACTICE

  • Show up where nearby patients actually look — the map pack
  • A visibility baseline you can watch move month over month
  • Fewer “how did they not find us?” moments

→TOUCH THE MAP PACK

Three results. One of them gets the call.

Flip the before-and-after switch and watch the middle listing change — the photo, the hours, the services listed, what sits under the rating. It is one tap, and it is the same short glance your next patient gives the three of you before deciding who to dial.

The practices, ratings and distances here are invented, and no toggle on a web page moves a real map ranking — this shows what a finished profile looks like, not what it earns.

+WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • Map-pack optimization for your area and services
  • Location and service pages built to rank
  • Consistent citations across the sources Google trusts
  • Competitor and position monitoring
  • Plain-English monthly report — position, calls, direction requests

→HOW IT WORKS

01BASELINE

We map where you rank today, block by block, service by service — the honest starting picture.

02BUILD

Profile, pages, citations, and signals — assembled in the order that moves your specific gaps.

03COMPOUND

Monthly tuning and fresh signals keep the position you win. You read one short report; we do the rest.

✦WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

Not a retainer. A list of specific things.

The patients you lose to the three practices on the map never call, never complain, and never show up in any report.

01

We measure from a grid.

We check your position from points spread across your area, not from your own screen at the practice. The grid is recorded before we touch anything, so progress is measured against a number you saw first.

02

Real pages, not doorway pages.

Every treatment you want patients for gets its own page, and so does every area you serve. Written to be read by a person first — thin copies of one page with the town name swapped are the thing that gets penalized.

03

Practice details stated as facts.

Your name, address, hours, services and location go into the page as structured data — the format search engines read directly instead of inferring it from a paragraph. It removes the guesswork that makes an engine hedge.

04

We watch the practices nearby.

Positions move because someone else moved, not because you did. We track the practices competing for the same searches, and when a keyword-stuffed or fake listing appears in your area, we report it.

05

Fresh signals on a rhythm.

Freshness is one of the few signals here that sits entirely in your hands. Posts, photographs, updated services and answered questions go out on a schedule, so the profile reads as this week rather than as 2021.

06

Everything stays in your name.

We work inside your own Google account, not a reseller dashboard that holds your profile hostage. If we ever part ways, the profile, the pages and the listings are already yours — there is nothing to hand back.

$STARTING AT

From $900/mo

Flat monthly, quoted in writing before you commit. Month to month — no minimum term.

→WHAT MOVES THIS NUMBER

  • How many zip codes and treatments you want to compete for
  • How much cleanup your listings and pages need before anything can rank
  • How hard the practices around you are already working the same map

Nothing to un-wire if you ever leave: everything we build stays yours. The free Blueprint comes first either way, so you will know what we would recommend before money is discussed.

→HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Four stages, and what each one costs you.

  1. 01

    We start with a call.

    Twenty minutes on what you treat, where your patients actually come from, and what you have already tried. We look at your profile and your current position while we are on the call, so you get a straight answer on whether this is even your bottleneck.

    You: Take a half-hour call.

  2. 02

    We record where you stand.

    Before anything is touched, we record where you sit across a grid of points around the practice, service by service. It is dated and sent to you, so nobody has to take our word for progress later.

    You: Nothing.

  3. 03

    We fix the foundations first.

    Profile fields corrected, duplicates found and removed, citations aligned, and the service and area pages written and published in the order your gaps demand. Anything clinical comes back to you before it goes near the public.

    You: Read the pages once before they publish.

  4. 04

    Then we keep it moving.

    Fresh signals go out on a rhythm, the practices around you are watched, and drift gets fixed when an aggregator pushes an old record back. Each month, one page shows position, calls and direction requests against that first grid.

    You: Read one page a month and give the occasional yes.

✦IN DETAIL

What local SEO actually involves

Local search is decided by a different set of signals than the rest of the web. Google is weighing how close you are to the person searching, how complete and consistent your business information is, how recently anything about you changed, and what other people say about you. Almost none of that is on your website.

So the work splits in two. On your site we build the pages that tell Google what you treat and where — a real page per service and per area you serve, marked up so a machine can read the practice details without guessing. Off your site we clean up the profile and the citations, then keep feeding fresh signals so the position does not quietly decay when a competitor opens down the road.

→YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS

No mystery about what happens when.

You always know what stage you are at, and every stage produces something you can see.

  1. Days 1–14

    Baseline and audit

    We record where you rank today across a grid of points around your practice, service by service. That grid is what we measure against later, so nobody has to take our word for progress.

  2. Days 15–45

    Foundations

    Profile completed and corrected, duplicate listings removed, citations aligned, service and location pages written and published.

  3. Day 46 onward

    Compounding

    Monthly posts, photos and fresh signals, competitor monitoring, and a one-page report showing position, calls and direction requests against the baseline.

✦ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIOS · COMPOSITE, UNNAMED, NOT TESTIMONIALS

What a practice in this situation typically asks us.

Composite situations, written to show the work. No practice is named, none is quoted, nothing here is a testimonial.

Every treatment buried in one paragraph on one page.

The profile was complete, but the site had a single services page and nothing written for any of the areas the practice draws from. We split the treatments onto their own pages, wrote a page per neighborhood, and marked the practice details up so a machine reads them as facts rather than prose.

What changedSearches that had returned nothing for them started returning a page written for exactly that question.

Two listings, one practice, reviews split between them.

A duplicate created years earlier under a previous owner was still live, holding its own reviews and an old suite number. We merged what could be merged, removed what could not, and pointed every remaining source at one name, one address and one number.

What changedOne version of the practice now answers to patients and to search engines, instead of two that disagreed.

Strong at the front door, invisible four blocks north.

The baseline grid showed solid positions right at the practice and nothing at the edge of the area they wanted patients from. We built out the thin side — area pages, unclaimed citations, and posts that referenced the neighborhoods in question rather than the whole city.

What changedWhere they show up stopped being a tight circle around their own parking lot.

✦FREE · NO PITCH

Three map searches, and the signals your homepage sends

We count which three treatments your homepage leads with, build the Google Maps search a patient in your town would run for each so you can see where you sit and who sits above you, and check the on-page signals Google reads for local results — the title and whether it names your town, the structured data, the hours, the map link. It arrives in this thread within a few minutes. It is not a grid: if you reply with your address and the three treatments you most want the phone to ring for, a person runs the grid and sends the picture.

  • The three treatments your site leads with, and a map search for each
  • The on-page signals Google reads for local results, checked on your homepage
  • A person runs the grid at your address if you reply

No sales call is required, and nobody will phone you about it unless you ask.

?THE FAIR QUESTIONS

The things you are actually thinking.

If you have been sold this before and it did not work, these are probably the questions. The answers are the same ones we would give you on the phone.

A phone on a café table showing a blurred map with three pins, hands resting beside it

We paid an agency for this before and got a dashboard, not patients.

Usually because nothing was measured before the work started, so nothing could be proved after. We record your position across a grid of points before we touch anything, date it, and send it to you. Everything we do after that is publicly checkable — your profile, your pages, your listings. If a month goes by with little to show you, the report says so instead of filling a page with charts.

Will this actually bring patients through the door?

Honestly: we cannot promise you patients, and anyone who does is guessing. What this work does is put your practice in front of people who are already looking for a dentist nearby and are ready to call. Whether they then call depends on things the ranking does not control — your photographs, your reviews, whether the phone gets answered at lunchtime. We would rather fix the visibility and tell you plainly when the leak is somewhere else.

What does it cost — in money, and in my team's hours?

Money: we quote a flat monthly figure in writing after the discovery call, once we have seen your profile, your pages and the practices around you. The starting figure is on this page; we stop short of publishing yours, because the honest number depends on how much cleanup is in front of us. Time: access to your Google profile, a list of the services and areas you actually want patients for, and roughly one approval a month, which you can do from your phone.

If we stop working together, what do we keep?

Everything we built stays with you. The profile is in your account, the pages are on your site, the corrected listings stay corrected, and the baseline grid is already in your inbox. What stops is the maintenance — the monthly signals, the competitor watch, and the fixes when an aggregator quietly pushes an old address back. That drift is real, so a position tends to soften over time rather than vanish overnight.

When you should not buy this

If your line already rings out at lunch and nothing texts the caller back, do not start here. More people finding you only fills a bucket with a hole in it — fix the booking and follow-up side first, then come back to this. Texting a missed caller back works with compatible phone setups, and we confirm yours on the discovery call.

?THREE SERVICES, ONE MAP · WHICH DO I ACTUALLY NEED

Three of these overlap. Here is exactly where.

Local SEO includes the profile work and the citation work, so from the outside these three can look like one service sold three times. They are not the same thing — but the difference is worth knowing before you spend anything, so here it is in plain words.

✓SO WHICH ONE

Buy the two cheaper ones — $600/mo together — when the problem is that your information is wrong or your profile looks abandoned. A duplicate listing, an old phone number, hours nobody has corrected in years, a profile with nothing posted on it: that is a repair, and these two are the repair. Buying a campaign first, when the foundations are the actual leak, is the wrong order and we will say so.

Buy Local SEO when the map is genuinely contested. Several practices near you working the same searches, and the difference decided on your own site: pages for the treatments and the areas you want, position and competitor monitoring, and a monthly call on what to do next. That is the $300/mo difference, and it is the only part the other two do not contain.

Do not buy all three at once. Local SEO already covers the profile’s map-pack signals and citation consistency, so stacking it on top of the other two is paying twice for the same work. If you later want the weekly posting or the aggregator monitoring at their full depth, add one of them then — once the campaign has shown you which. Nothing here runs on a minimum term, so there is no reason to buy ahead of the need.

✕WHAT WE WILL NOT CLAIM

The things we will not say to win the work.

Each of these is a line another agency will happily cross. Here is where we stand on it, in writing.

  • Guaranteed rankings, appointments or revenue.Nobody can honestly promise what Google or a patient will do. We guarantee the work, and you watch what moved month by month.
  • A proprietary dental platform.We build on tools you could run without us, and everything we build is yours.
  • Universal PMS or EHR integration.Integrations are possible with any practice system that exposes an API — we confirm yours on the discovery call. Here is what each system publishes today.
  • AI insurance verification or treatment-plan mining.No agent of ours reads a chart, checks a policy or suggests treatment.
  • “SOC 2” or “HIPAA compliant” as a badge.Our infrastructure runs on Google Workspace and Google Cloud under signed Business Associate Agreements. We do not call that HIPAA compliance, because no vendor honestly can.
  • Clinical or diagnostic AI.Every agent refuses clinical questions and hands to a person.
  • A client quote without written permission.The practice we photograph is credited; nothing anyone said appears here until they say in writing that it may.
  • An invented statistic.Every figure on this site is either counted from what we run, or carries the source it came from.

?LOCAL SEO · GOOD QUESTIONS

How is this different from regular SEO?+

Regular SEO competes for the whole internet; local SEO competes for your zip codes. The signals are different — proximity, profile health, reviews, citations — and so is the work. We do both, but for a practice, local pays first.

Can you guarantee a #1 spot?+

No one honestly can — Google decides, and anyone promising a rank is selling you a guess. What we guarantee is the work: the right signals, built the right way, measured openly, adjusted monthly.

What do the monthly reports look like?+

One page. Where you rank on the searches that matter, how that changed, what patients did (calls, direction requests, site visits), and what we’re doing next. No jargon, no 40-page PDF.

What does Local SEO cost — and am I locked into a contract?+

It starts at $900/mo. That is a floor rather than a quote: how many zip codes and treatments you want to compete for is what moves it most. You get the exact number flat and in writing before committing to anything, nothing runs on a minimum term, and everything we build stays yours if you ever leave. The free Blueprint comes first either way.
