Advantages of Local SEO for Dentists?

The most dominant and clicked, area of the result set

The local result set gets more clicks and interaction than the others, it shows more visual information in a trusted manner, which results in more interactions.

Accessing Important Information

Users are also given the most important information for local businesses. Typically when searching for a dental practice in the area, potential patients will be interested in seeing where you’re located. With this local listing, they will be able to see how to get directions to your clinic with a click of a button. It also shows your phone number, website URL if you have one, your review score of 5 stars, and your business hours. Now they have access to all critical information; they’ll need to learn how to contact you. These listings give the viewer everything they need to contact you in one click.

Optimised for Mobile Browsing

With a growing number of internet users relying on their smartphones to find information about local businesses, Google’s Local Result set is perfectly convenient. All of the information customers will need is immediately visible and the entire page is redesigned to fit perfectly with mobile user interfaces. Adding to that, more importantly, the listing has a call now feature that displays on mobile devices, making it easy for the viewer to call the dental clinic in question. The more convenient it is for your clients to get in touch with you, the more calls you’ll receive on a regular basis. According to The Google Mobile Playbook, approximately 80% of smartphone users use their devices for research prior to making a purchase.

Making Reviews Accessible

Depending on the reputation of your practice, this can either be seen as an advantage or a disadvantage. On a positive note, the majority of internet users are on the search for reviews before making a purchasing decision. When you manage to appear in the Google Local 3-Pack you’re going to give your patients exactly what they need to make a decision on whether to choose your clinic or not.

Free and Easy to Use

The Google 3-pack is a great marketing tool because it’s free and incredibly simple to start up. All you need to do is visit this link from Google and input information about your business, such as its name, country, street address, city, main business phone number, etc. You can also get a certified individual to set the listing up for you. We offer this service for FREE! Once you have the listing verified, you can start promoting it and optimising it in order to get your business listing in the 3-pack. Once you are listed in the top 3 of your locality, you won’t have to worry about a cost-per-click fee as with Google Ads, it’s a convenient method of marketing that certainly won’t break the bank.

More Competitive - Optimisation needed

It is imperative to optimise your business listing to ensure it appears in the top 3 listings, otherwise, users will have to access a secondary source of information to contact your dental office. This will greatly reduce the number of calls you’ll receive.  Google takes in a wide range of factors when deciding which 3 dental clinics to show on the Google Map result set, such as reviews, whether the website is mobile-friendly, the loading time of the website, and the website structure and quality.

Locally Focused

The main point of the Google Local 3-Pack is to give customers the ability to find businesses that are near them. If you have a marketing strategy that heavily relies on attracting customers from places around the world, this feature won’t be too beneficial. According to Deluxe, approximately 75% of local searching consumers who are browsing for a business on their smartphone are looking for locations within 5 miles of their current location. For Dental Clinics, the best news is that local new clients generally become regular loyal patients if treated well.

Frequently Asked Questions – Google Local SEO

Why is SEO so expensive?

Search Engine Optimization, known as SEO, can seem quite expensive for companies new to the process. But in actuality, it is not an unrealistic cost considering the amount of technical expertise and time it takes to run a successful campaign.

The first consideration for any company entering into a new venture should be “what will this investment cost me?”. It boils down to how much profit they make on their campaigns when functioning correctly or the ROI (return on investment). Some clients need SEO because it is required in order to compete with other companies using the same type of service where no competition exists due to location or popularity of keywords;

Many cheap SEO services out there use bogus blackhat techniques which people with some SEM knowledge can spot a mile away; if your site doesn’t eventually rank well, then these low-quality firms will refuse to take responsibility or give your money back. The high price point for an agency that does its work ethically tends to reflect this because they also take full responsibility and don’t slack off on quality assurance when conducting special offers.

SEO is not expensive when you consider the amount of expertise and time that a professional needs to get a site ranking. There are many variables involved in getting a high rank on Google search engine results, it takes research, experience in SEO optimization, a clear understanding of website architecture and design languages, matching content to keywords.

Why do I need local SEO?

Local SEO is the most cost-effective service available to market a dental office to potential new patients. Not only is it affordable, but it also provides a return on investment that no other type of marketing can provide. In addition, when patients find your website, you will notice an increase in the number of patients scheduling appointments with you or coming into your practice.

Local SEO was conceived as an essential tool for businesses looking for increased foot traffic and bookings than most traditional advertising channels provide within a business’ target demographic range. Studies show that 94% of people use location-based services on their mobile device when deciding where they are going to browse next.

According to a recent study done by Kinsta Inc., the cost-effectiveness of hiring an Expert vs taking care of it yourself is 45% LESS expensive over time.

The rankings of organic listings are especially critical in driving new patients to a dentist’s office. According to Conductor’s The State of Indie Business 2013 year in review report, “organic search” is mentioned more than twice as much as any other PPC ad type by small business respondents. Organic listings also score highest when measuring how often they generate leads for small businesses.

What is the difference between SEO and local SEO?

SEO means Search Engine Optimization. It typically works by making a website more visible to search engines for certain keywords. For example, someone would use SEO when trying to rank a dental clinic for searching “teeth cleaning” in Google.

As the name suggests, local SEO for dentists is an optimization technique designed specifically for local listings on Google Maps (for example “dentist in Dublin”). The big goal here is that people looking for your business are able to find you within close proximity of their location and hopefully they will uncover the map sooner than expected because your business has been optimised as a default search result. Local SEO is the most powerful form of marketing for Dental Clinics.

Who benefits from local SEO?

Local SEO benefits small businesses by improving their online visibility. In 2012, the first 5 results on Google collected 67.6% of clicks on local searches, and that number is increasing with more location-based services being offered to find information as users are searching for it. With this in mind, optimizing your website’s content for a specific geographic area will increase the chances of ranking high on Google when users search for relevant keywords related to your business

Local SEO can really benefit any business thanks to Google’s method of awarding higher rankings and better search results based on where you are located in relation to your desired keyword or phrase. By optimizing your location online with good, up-to-date information pages like your social media channels or blog posts written from the perspective of consumers like yourself who live nearby, you will always be seen as fresh

In summary, local businesses like dental clinics benefit highly from Local SEO

How much is local SEO?

The price of local SEO will differ depending on the competitors in your region.  For some areas where the competition is not high, results can be achieved quicker and take fewer resources to do so.  In most cases for dental clinics, this is not the case, it is an extremely complex service that takes months to implement and constant work to maintain.

The minimum price for local SEO would be 300 euro, anything less than that means the service company are simply not putting in the hours required or applying black-hat negative techniques

What type of audience is interested in local SEO?

Local SEO is perfect for dental clinics and similar businesses, it is a great option for dental clinics and other service-based companies. In particular, dentists who own their practice should be actively seeking an excellent local SEO company to help them rank higher on Google Maps “near me” searches as well as show up first in more generic keyword searches featuring related terms such as “dentist near me.” Service-based companies that sell locally should also consider going this route.

Local SEO can offer major benefits at a low cost since it focuses specifically on keywords within your immediate area.
