Founder-led SEO for dentists and dental practices. Local SEO, Google Business Profile, and content that turn "dentist near me" searches into booked new patients, not a junior at a 500-client marketing shop.

Dental SEO built around new patients, not vanity rankings

Dental SEO is the work of getting your practice found, and chosen, the moment someone nearby searches for a dentist. A family that just moved to town, someone with a chipped tooth, a patient finally ready for the implants they have put off. They search, they call one of the first practices they see, and the one that shows up there fills the chair.

I help dental practices win that moment. Not with a dashboard you never open, but with the things that actually book patients: a Google Business Profile that fights for the map pack, real treatment pages, a steady flow of reviews, and a name the web trusts. New patients are the only metric that matters, and SEO for dentists is one of the most reliable ways to earn them.

Why generic agencies fail dental practices

Most agencies treat a dental practice like any other local business, and the big dental-marketing shops sign hundreds of practices and hand yours to a junior. Neither wins, because dental is its own world: how patients search for a dentist, the treatments that actually drive revenue, and the high trust standards Google holds health content to.

SEO for dentists takes specialist care. It is treatment and area pages built for how patients search, an optimized Google Business Profile, accurate and trustworthy content that meets Google's standards for health topics, and quality local links. I do this directly, for dental and a small handful of other local niches. Depth beats spread.

Local SEO for dentists: winning the map pack

Most patients searching for a dentist call one of the first practices in the map pack, the box of three results at the top of a local search. For a dental practice, that placement is where new patients come from. Getting you into those three results, and keeping you there, is the core of what I do.

Local SEO for dentists means an optimized Google Business Profile with the right category, complete treatments and photos, and a steady flow of genuine reviews. It means consistent listings across the web, dental practice local SEO done properly, and proximity-driven area pages. The map pack rewards the practices that look most active, most relevant, and most trusted. I make yours one of them.

Dental SEO vs. Google Ads for dentists

Google Ads for dentists turn on fast, but dental clicks are not cheap, and the moment you stop paying, the patients stop. Ads have their place, especially early or for a specific high-value treatment, and I will never pretend otherwise. But they are rented.

Dental SEO is the asset you own. It takes a few months to build, then it compounds, and your cost per new patient keeps dropping as it does. With a new patient worth thousands over time, and implant or ortho cases worth far more, one or two extra patients a month can cover the work several times over. Most practices run ads and SEO together, then lean on organic as it takes hold. See full pricing →

Who you work with
Jaimin Kapadia, founder of Rivi Growth

You won't be handed to a junior account manager.

The big dental-marketing shops sign hundreds of practices and pass yours down the line. I keep my list small on purpose, with one dental practice per market, so you work directly with the person doing the work, and the practice across town cannot hire me too. More than ten years in SEO and content, pointed straight at your new-patient numbers.

FAQ · dental SEO
How much does dental SEO cost?
Most dental practices pay somewhere between $1,000 and $4,000 a month for ongoing SEO, depending on their market and how competitive it is. My plans start at $2,500/mo. Given a single new patient is often worth thousands over time, and high-value cases like implants or ortho far more, one or two extra patients a month tends to cover the work easily.
Is SEO worth it for dentists?
For most practices, yes. A new patient can be worth $4,000 to $15,000 over their time with you, and a single implant or ortho case far more. SEO builds rankings you own instead of renting every click through ads, and it keeps bringing patients long after the work is done. One or two extra cases a month usually pays for it many times over.
How long does dental SEO take to work?
Expect early movement in 60 to 90 days, and meaningful results in three to six months. Local rankings and Google Business Profile gains often come first. Anyone promising you the top spot next week is not being straight with you.
Why is my dental practice not showing up on Google?
Usually it is an incomplete Google Business Profile, inconsistent name, address, and phone across the web, thin treatment pages, or too few recent reviews. Those are the first things I audit, and the first things I fix.
How do I get more new patients for my dental practice?
Win local search with an optimized Google Business Profile, real pages for each treatment and the areas you serve, a steady stream of genuine reviews, and strong local content. That foundation is exactly what I build, and it is what turns searches into booked appointments.
Is dental SEO better than Google Ads?
They do different jobs. Google Ads turn on fast but stop the moment you stop paying, and dental clicks are not cheap. SEO compounds and keeps lowering your cost per new patient over time. Many practices run both, then lean on organic as it takes hold. I will tell you honestly what mix fits your practice.
Do I need a dental SEO specialist or a general agency?
Dental is its own world: how patients search, the treatments that matter, the trust standards Google holds health content to. A specialist who knows that gets you further than a generalist learning on your budget. I work with dentists and a small handful of other local niches, by design.
