Dental SEO Built Around Patient Acquisition
We understand how Johannesburg patients search for a dentist - urgently, locally, and based on trust. Our dental SEO strategy is built around that exact behaviour.
Local SEO & Google Maps
Optimised Google Business Profile so your practice appears in the Johannesburg map pack for "dentist near me" searches.
Treatment Page SEO
Dedicated, keyword-optimised pages for implants, whitening, Invisalign, root canals and other high-value treatments.
Review & Reputation Growth
Systems to grow authentic Google reviews - the single biggest local ranking and trust factor for dental practices.
Mobile-First Website SEO
Fast, mobile-optimised site structure - most patients search for a dentist on their phone, often urgently.
HPCSA-Aligned Content
All content follows accuracy and compliance standards appropriate for healthcare marketing in South Africa.
Monthly Ranking Reports
Clear reporting on keyword rankings, map pack position, calls and booking form submissions - not vanity metrics.
Why Most Johannesburg Dental Practices Are Invisible on Google
| Common Issue | Impact | Our Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No Google Business Profile optimisation | Missing from the map pack for "dentist [suburb]" searches | Full GBP setup, categories, photos, services and posting schedule |
| Thin or missing treatment pages | Google can't match your site to high-value searches like "dental implants Sandton" | Dedicated 1,500+ word treatment pages targeting each procedure |
| Low review volume vs competitors | Map pack ranking and patient trust suffer | Automated, compliant review-request workflow |
| Slow-loading, non-mobile-optimised site | Patients bounce before they can book | Core Web Vitals fixes and mobile speed optimisation |
| No local citations / NAP inconsistency | Confuses Google on your practice's true location and hurts local trust | Citation building and NAP clean-up across SA directories |
