FAQs
Your questions, answered.
What is orthodontic SEO?
Orthodontic SEO is the work of helping your practice show up when people search for an orthodontist, braces, or Invisalign in your area, through your website, Google Business Profile, and local listings.
How long does SEO take for an orthodontist?
SEO builds over time. Some improvements show sooner than others, and we'll walk through what to expect for your market on your strategy call.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No one can honestly guarantee rankings. What we can promise is focused, consistent work on the searches that matter most to your practice, with clear reporting.
How important are reviews for local SEO?
Reviews matter to both search visibility and patient decisions. 97% of consumers read reviews when choosing a local business. Source: BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey 2026.
Is Google still the main place people read business reviews?
Google is still the leading source, used by 71% of consumers in 2026, but that's down from 83% the year before as AI tools and other platforms gain ground. Source: BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey 2026.
What is a Google Business Profile, and why does it matter?
It's your practice's listing on Google Search and Maps. Your profile, photos, reviews, and hours often make the first impression before anyone visits your website.
What keywords should an orthodontist target?
Treatment and location searches families actually use, like orthodontist near me, braces, Invisalign, and clear aligners in your city and surrounding communities.
Do I need location pages for each area I serve?
If you serve several communities or ZIP codes, location pages help search engines and families understand where you treat patients.
How is SEO different from Google Ads?
SEO builds visibility in unpaid search results over time. Google Ads puts you at the top of results immediately while you pay. Most practices benefit from both.
How do you measure SEO results?
We report on search visibility, website traffic, and the calls and form submissions that come from organic search.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your market and goals. We'll walk through the right plan for your practice on your strategy call.
How do I get started?
