A dedicated US account manager runs your account. It is $297 a month, with no contract. Every number on this page is either measured by us or a published market range, and the box at the bottom says which is which.

What is dental SEO?

Dental SEO is the work that gets a dental practice found on Google. A tooth cracks on a Saturday. A parent needs a dentist for a six year old. Somebody wants to know what implants run. Each of them picks up a phone and searches. Dental SEO is how your name shows up in that moment.

It has three parts. First, pages that answer what patients type. Things like dental implants cost or pediatric dentist near me. Second, a website that loads fast and reads well on a phone. Third, plain proof that you are a real practice with real dentists. Do all three and you are in the running. Skip them and the practice with the better website gets read first.

Owners call this a few names. Dental marketing. SEO for dentists. Dental lead generation. It is one job under three labels. If your practice does not come up at all right now, here are the usual reasons why.

We do all three parts for you, on the site you already own. We audit it, then fix what is slow and what is broken. We improve the pages you already have, and we apply on-site local SEO to them. A dedicated US account manager runs your account. It is $297 a month.

What do patients search when they need a dentist?

They type plain words, and a lot of people type them. "dentist near me" gets 1,830,000 searches a month across the US. Below are the five patient searches we measured for this trade. The last column is what Google Ads charges for one click.

What patients search (measured, US)Searches / monthCost per click (Ads)
dentist near me1,830,000$13.00
dental implants cost201,000$16.41
pediatric dentist near me201,000$10.44
teeth whitening near me49,500$10.06
dentist open saturday4,400$12.91

Those five terms add up to 2,285,900 searches every month, nationwide. You only need your own slice of it. We measure your exact market before we touch a page. The same scan runs on every trade in our market reports.

Are these searches worth real money?

Look at the last column again. That is what other practices pay per click. One click on "dental implants cost" costs $16.41 on Google Ads. Nobody bids that on a search that leads nowhere. So the price tells you the search is worth having.

Now the click math. Buying 100 "dental implants cost" clicks at the measured $16.41 costs about $1,641 a month, forever. The clicks stop the day you stop paying. A page you own answers the same search at no cost per click. That is the whole difference between buying clicks and owning pages.

Who else is searching for this?

Practice owners search for it too, and marketing firms pay a lot to reach them. Here is that demand, measured the same way.

What dental practices search (measured, US)Searches / monthCost per click (Ads)
dental marketing1,900$47.12
dental seo1,300$53.95
seo for dentists1,300$53.95
dental seo company1,000$92.53
dental advertising880$50.84
dental website design880$63.22
dental lead generation90$32.43

Those seven rows add up to 7,350 searches a month. We measured one more term in the same group, "dental seo services", and it adds 1,300. That is how the full group reaches 8,650 a month. Some marketing firms pay up to $92.53 a click to reach you. That is before they say a word to you. It tells you what your attention is worth to them.

Now put the price next to one case

One implant patient is commonly worth $3,000 to $6,000. That is the widely published range for the trade, not our measurement. Our plan costs $297 a month. At the low end of that range, one case of that size covers about 10 months of the fee. At the high end it covers about 20. The work stays on your site either way, and the site stays yours.

What does the top of a dentist map look like?

We scanned one real city to show you. In Columbus, Ohio we pulled the top 20 businesses Google shows for "dentists columbus ohio." Then we tried to read every website they list. Here are five of those twenty, with their ratings and review counts.

Business (top of the Columbus map)RatingReviews
Grandview Dental Care4.91,170
Capstone Dental Downtown4.9409
Merion Village Dental4.61,059
Capital City Dental4.9520

This is one sample market at a normal mid-size scale. We run this same scan on YOUR market before we touch a page for you.

Here is what the full top 20 told us.

Every pin is one of the top 20 businesses on Google's map for "dentists columbus ohio." The date we measured is in the sources box below. Bigger circle = more reviews. Want the plain steps behind those pins? Read how to rank on Google Maps.

Review counts of the map's top practices, from the same measurement. The spread is the story. A few names hold most of the reviews. Everyone else splits what is left.

The pattern repeats in every metro we measure. The names at the top got there with websites that answer what patients type. Plenty of practices below them do just as good a job in the chair. The part nobody can find is the website. That part is fixable, and it is the work we do.

What does a dental SEO company do every month?

Six jobs, every month, without you chasing anyone. Here they are in plain words. Ask any provider you talk to for the same list.

  1. Learn your practice. Implants, Invisalign, kids, emergencies, and the towns your patients drive in from.
  2. Find the searches you can win. We use live search data, not guesses. It is the same measurement you saw above, run on your own market.
  3. Audit the site you already own, then fix it. Speed, page structure, dead links, page titles. Worst problems first, every week.
  4. Improve the pages you already have. Better titles, clearer wording, the right structure, so each one answers a search patients already type. Think dental implants cost or emergency dentist near me.
  5. Apply on-site local SEO to those same pages. The town names, the service areas and the details a nearby search needs to see. That is the heart of local SEO. Google Business Profile management is not part of the $297 plan. We improve the local search signals on the website you already own.
  6. Get your pages ready for AI search. The structure and the plain answers that tools like ChatGPT need in order to read what you do.

Two more things sit under all of it. Nothing changes on your site without being checked first. And a dedicated US account manager runs your account, the same person start to finish. They decide what gets worked on. Every week you get a short update on what was finished and what is next. Once a month you get a report on selected rankings and how you show up in AI search.

How can dental SEO cost $297 a month?

Because the work is not smaller. The labor is put together in a different way. Ahrefs asked 439 SEO providers what they charge. The average came out at $1,557 a month. Most of them, 68.8%, charge $2,000 or less. A dental SEO agency usually charges $1,500 to $5,000 a month. That is a widely published market range, not our measurement. We charge $297 a month, or $2,970 for a year. So the fair question is what is missing. Here is the honest answer.

An agency bills you for hours. People run the crawls, hunt for the problems and build the reports by hand, every month, for every client. Those salaries set the price. We wrote software to do the parts that repeat. It crawls your whole site. It runs the audit. It checks your page speed. It lines up the fixes in order. Then your account manager picks what gets done and checks it before anything changes.

Software handles the volume. A person holds the standard. Take either half away and this price stops making sense. Want the full picture on what SEO costs in 2026? We published the prices by tier here.

One warning about cheap SEO.

Cheap is a good deal when it is cheap because software does the repeat work. It is a bad deal when it is cheap because nothing gets done. So ask one question of anyone you talk to. What work will you do on my site this month, and who checks it before it goes live? A real answer names the fixes. A bad one names a report. Here is how to tell the two apart.

One row in the table above is a fair question to ask us. Practice owners search "dental website design" 880 times a month. So here is where we stand. We do not sell, price or bundle website design. The plan works on the website you already own, and we do not need you to rebuild it first. If you want to understand how a site and its SEO fit together, we explain that here.

Dental SEO: frequently asked questions

How much does dental SEO cost?

Our price is $297 a month. A dental SEO agency usually asks $1,500 to $5,000 a month. That range is widely published in the trade, and it is not our measurement. There is no contract with us and no setup fee. A prepaid year costs $2,970. That works out to $247.50 a month, and your rate stays locked while you stay subscribed.

How long does dental SEO take to work?

The audit starts right away, and your plan is in your hands within 14 days. Movement in the rankings usually shows around month three or four. Every market runs on its own clock, and no provider controls Google's. Watch out for anyone who promises page one in days. Those shortcuts get sites penalized. We promise the part we control, which is the work. Your monthly report shows selected rankings and how you show up in AI search.

Does dental SEO work in a small town?

Yes. A smaller area means smaller numbers, not zero. A search like dentist open saturday still gets 4,400 searches a month across the US. One click on it costs $12.91. Some slice of that is your town. A small map also has fewer practices doing the work at all.

Do you run my Google Business Profile?

No. Google Business Profile management is not part of the $297 plan. We improve the local search signals on the website you already own. Your profile is the free listing that puts you on the map, and you keep control of it. Hours, photos, services and replies to reviews stay in your hands.

What is different about this compared with a dental SEO agency?

An agency sells you hours of people's time. Those people run the crawls, hunt for the problems and build the reports by hand. Every client, every month. We wrote software for the parts that repeat. It reads your whole site, runs the audit, checks the speed and lines up the fixes. Your account manager then picks what gets done and checks it. The jobs match. The cost of running them does not.

Do I get a real person, or is it all software?

Both. Software does the crawls, the audits and the speed checks. A dedicated US account manager owns your account. It is the same person start to finish. They learn your services and the towns your patients drive from. Reply to any report and they answer, usually the same day.

Will software change my site behind my back?

No. Software finds the problems and drafts the wording. A person checks it before anything goes near your site. If we cannot verify a claim, it never goes out under your name. Made-up numbers and filler are what readers hate. That is exactly what the check catches. This page went through the same gate.

Referrals and insurance lists keep me busy. Why bother with dental SEO?

Referrals are the best patients you will ever get. They are also why a slow month hurts. You do not choose when the next one arrives. The searches on this page happen every month either way. A page that answers one keeps working while you are with a patient.

Who is dental SEO for?

Owner-run practices with good reviews and a website nobody can find. Patients like you once they are in the chair. Treatment is worth real money. You have no time to learn marketing. The people who find you book with you. The problem is how few find you. That is the gap we close.

Who is dental SEO not for?

New practices with no reviews yet. Get reviews first. Owners who cannot touch a corporate website. Owners who need a full schedule this week, since ads do that job and SEO does not. Owners who want to approve every single change before it happens. And anyone shopping for a promised number one spot, because nobody honest sells one.

Do I own the work you do on my site?

Yes, all of it. The work happens on your own domain, on the site you already own. Ownership here is not a clause you have to read twice. It is simply where the files live. Cancel any time and every improvement stays yours.

What if I want to cancel?

You cancel future renewals from your account and owe nothing after that. Nothing is held back. Every fix and every improvement stays on your site. You also get one 60-day money-back window on your initial purchase. It is counted from the day you bought. It never renews and it never resets.

Dental SEO or Google Ads: which one should I buy?

They do different jobs, so run both if the budget allows. Ads buy clicks today and stop the day the card stops. On the patient side one click runs $10.06 to $16.41. Buying 100 dental implants cost clicks runs about $1,641 a month. Our plan is $297 a month and improves the site you already own. Need the phone ringing this week? Run ads.

Can I do dental SEO myself?

You can. The practices at the top of the map prove it pays off. Time is the catch. The job means research, technical fixes and steady clean-up work on the pages you have. Every week, with no end date. Most owners fix two things and stop. The worst outcome is also the most common one, which is nobody doing it at all.

What do you guarantee?

We guarantee our work. We never guarantee results, because nobody honest can. Google Search Central says plainly that no one can guarantee a number one spot. What we do promise is the work. A full audit of the site you own, a plan within 14 days, then ongoing technical and on-page fixes. A short weekly update on what got done, and a monthly report on selected rankings and AI visibility.

My website is old and slow. Does that stop this?

No. That is the normal starting point. The plan opens with a full audit of the site you already own. Then we fix what is slow, what is broken and what is named wrong. Worst problems first. We do not sell you a new website, and you do not need one to start. The plan runs on the site you have.

Sources and method (last measured: 2026-07-08): search volumes and cost-per-click pulled live from Google Ads data (US targeting), covering the 5 patient-search terms measured (2,285,900 combined monthly searches) and the 8 buyer-side terms measured (8,650 combined monthly searches across "dental SEO," "dental marketing," and related variants). The practice-side table above prints seven of those eight terms and they sum to 7,350; the eighth term, "dental seo services," adds the remaining 1,300. Map data: Google Maps results for "dentists columbus ohio," top 20, same measurement. Site scans: our crawler, 16 of the 20 listed sites fully readable; the other 4 sit behind bot walls that block automated readers. A site behind a bot wall can also return a false negative on the structured-data check, so treat that count as a floor. Volumes are Google's rounded monthly averages; some low-volume terms returned no reportable data and are not shown. Agency retainers, in-house salary, developer hourly rates, audit prices and implant patient values are widely published market ranges, not our measurement, and are labeled that way where they appear. Search volumes, cost per click, the map results and the site scans are ours. When we can't verify a number, we don't print it. The statement that no one can guarantee a number one ranking is Google Search Central's own wording.
