What does SEO for dentists in Canada include?

We fix site issues, create treatment pages using your clinical input, boost local visibility and monitor enquiries. We also connect your SEO work with ads, conversion improvements and AI-search visibility. Get a free audit to find your priorities.

How soon will my dental practice see results?

Your market, site and competition affect timing. We ship fixes and pages within hours or days; search growth takes longer. A Toronto clinic went from 10 to 66 monthly organic enquiries over 12 months; your timeline will be different.

Do you guarantee a first-page position?

No. Search engines decide their own results. We work to improve visibility and measure your practice's calls and enquiries.

How do you measure enquiries without clinical details?

We tracked the Toronto clinic's calls and forms without collecting clinical details. The Glass Box Portal gives you live access to leads, spend, rankings and the work log.

Will you also work for my direct competitor?

We take one major client in each niche and region, and we don't work for direct competitors. We'll assess your situation before working together.

What does dental SEO cost?

Your plan reflects your practice, market and aims. The audit is free. We'll go over your practice's needs before you commit.
