The Dental Studios

The Dental Studios runs two practices about six miles apart, in Westfield and Summit, New Jersey. Both towns are dense, affluent and thoroughly served, which means the general dentistry terms were already held by practices that have been there for years. The tracked set is 25 keywords split across the two locations, almost all of them a service plus a town name: emergency dentist, dental implants, teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry, each one twice over.

Rather than fight for the broadest terms on day one, the campaign opened on the services with the thinnest competition and the clearest commercial intent. Oral surgery, full mouth restoration and same day crowns were all winnable in both towns and all attached to high value treatment. Content was written per service per location rather than once for both, and the two Google Business Profiles were brought up to the same standard as the site itself.

Across the 25 tracked keywords the net movement is 158 positions gained, with 12 positions inside Google's top 10 and 2 inside the top 3.

Two locations six miles apart still need their own pages, their own content and their own profiles. Beyond that, the lesson is about ordering. Specialist services break through first, because they are winnable and the intent behind them is unmistakable. The broad general dentistry terms are the hardest ground in any dental market, and they are won later, on the authority the specialist pages build first.
