16 Advanced Dental SEO Strategies from a Dental SEO Expert

Let’s roll up our sleeves and explore how to make your dental practice the go-to choice for patients seeking care! Stick with me as we dig deep into these advanced techniques. We’ll uncover actionable insights on how to appear in the top organic positions and attract new patients who are actively searching for the services you provide. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, these strategies will equip you with the knowledge you need to thrive.

Create Google Business Profile (GBP)

You’ve probably heard the basics a dozen times: add your business information, incorporate some target keywords, and so on. However, I’m not going to recap every single step here. I’d rather share the key tips that can help you achieve quick wins.

Right at the top of the list is your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) account. If you haven’t created one yet, do it now.

This is the primary way Google verifies and showcases local businesses in search results because Google’s Local Pack (the map listings at the top of local search results) typically takes information from GBP listings.

See an example below:

However, for a dental clinic, there are a few unique considerations compared to other local businesses:

For example, If you have multiple dentists or specialists at the same location, each professional can have a separate practitioner listing under their name. The clinic itself should have a separate listing under the business name (e.g., “Bright Smiles Dental Clinic”).

Use the exact, official name of your clinic (no extra keywords or taglines). Double-check that your address, phone number, and hours match exactly across your website and all other online directories.

I would highly advise selecting the most relevant primary category (e.g., “Dentist,” “Dental Clinic,” or “Cosmetic Dentist,” depending on your core services).
Use additional categories like “Emergency Dental Service” or “Orthodontist” if they apply, but don’t overdo it.

Google sometimes requires additional verification or proof of professional licensing for healthcare-related listings. Keep any relevant documents (like your dental license) on hand in case you’re asked to provide them.

It’s always great to add some high-quality images (exterior of the clinic, reception area, treatment rooms) to help build credibility and comfort for potential patients.

You can also add a short welcome video or virtual tour if possible. Healthcare customers often appreciate transparency about the environment.

Finally, avoid overly promotional language like “#1 Dentist” or unverified claims (“we guarantee perfect smiles”) in your business description. Keep an eye on changes to your practice, like holiday hours, new specialties, or relocation, and update your listing quickly.

If you have a rotating staff or new associates, decide whether they need individual practitioner listings or can be covered under the main clinic listing.

Create Location-Specific Landing Pages

I’ve seen many local businesses, dental clinics included, that focus all their energy on broad keywords like “dental clinic” or “teeth whitening” without adding their target city. A common example might be a dental clinic in Los Angeles using “affordable dentist” as a target keyword on their homepage, with no mention of “Los Angeles” or any local area.

Definitely, Google is quite smart at figuring out local intent. However, you stand a much better chance of outranking competitors when your target page explicitly highlights your location.

A dedicated page, for instance, might be titled “Dental Clinic in Chicago” or “Teeth Whitening Services in Downtown Chicago.” This way, you tell Google in no uncertain terms that you’re serving patients in that specific location, making your site (a particular page) highly relevant to that query.

As a result, you’ll often see a stronger performance in local search results.

If your practice offers a variety of dental services, you can take this concept one step further. Instead of grouping all your services under a single “dental clinic in Los Angeles” page, you create separate ones, like “Invisalign in L.A.,” “Root Canal Treatment in L.A.,” or “Teeth Whitening in L.A..” Each page should be rich with details about the specific service, mention the local area, and demonstrate your expertise.

You’ll be able to capture more specific searches (“affordable Invisalign in L.A.” or “best dentist for root canals L.A.”), which come with lower competition compared to generic terms. Plus, visitors instantly see that you provide exactly what they’re looking for in their local area.

Use Exact Match Domains

Exact match domains (EMDs) have always intrigued SEO enthusiasts and business owners. An EMD is a domain name that directly matches a primary keyword or search term. For instance, if someone searches for “24 Hour Dentist,” an EMD might be “24HourDentist.com.” The direct match between the search query and the domain name appears to give a relevance signal to search engines.

I’ve investigated many websites across different industries and what I found is that domains with exact or partial matches to a query had a ranking advantage out of the gate.

Over time, Google introduced updates to make sure that low-quality sites wouldn’t rank solely based on EMDs. Despite this, more than 14% of first-page results in certain local niches still include a keyword-rich domain, showing that the EMD factor hasn’t disappeared.

For example, this domain, ‘newyorkdentaloffice.com,’ ranks among the top five positions for the keyword ‘dentist in New York.’

So yeah, exact match domains can give you a head start in some specific SEO circumstances, particularly in local searches where competition might be lighter. However, Google has refined its algorithms to prioritize user experience and authoritative content.

So, if you can find an EMD that makes sense, remains user-friendly, and aligns with your brand’s growth plans, it might be worth considering. But, It’s also worth noting that an EMD can become less of a boon if the name is too long or awkward.

For example, “BestPediatricDentistInSanFrancisco.com” might technically be an EMD, but it’s unwieldy and prone to typos.

PR Link-Building

Many of the niche-specific keywords in the dental industry aren’t as highly competitive as you might expect. This is partly because local dental practices typically target a smaller geographic area, and not every practice focuses heavily on SEO services. On top of that, some dental professionals still rely on referrals or traditional advertising.

When you have lower competition, the door opens for faster wins, especially if you combine PR backlinks with other link-building techniques like guest posting and niche edits.

I believe PR backlinks give your dental clinic site a unique advantage as they help you stand out in a niche where not every competitor invests in advanced SEO.

Practical Examples of High-Authority Sites for Dental Clinics

Healthline – Known for its comprehensive health articles, often ranking first page for a wide range of medical and wellness keywords.

Medical News Today – A credible source for up-to-date information on medical research and health news.

Local News Outlets – Especially if you run a community-based practice, local newspapers or TV networks with an online presence can provide strong local PR backlinks.

I’ve personally secured links from several of these publications for my clients through HARO link-building and digital PR. Of course, it takes some patience, along with crafting a compelling angle, but once these backlinks go live, you’ll see the benefits not just in search engine rankings but in real brand recognition.

But wait!

It’s always wise to use a variety of link-building techniques to make sure your dental clinic’s backlink profile remains safe and natural. So apart from PR link building, you can also earn (build) links through the following techniques:

Guest Posting

Guest posting puts your name (and website link) in front of a targeted audience, typically on a well-established blog or online publication. In the dental industry, there’s a smaller circle of industry-related blogs compared to, say, tech or finance, and it’s also a chance to demonstrate your expertise on a variety of sites, making your backlink profile look more “natural” to search engines.

Niche Edits

Niche edits—also called “contextual link insertions”—involve adding your link to an already published piece of content. The content is usually relevant to your niche (oral care, dental procedures, etc.) and is already indexed by search engines. So, if you’re already doing guest posts or PR, niche edits offer a more targeted opportunity.

Optimize for Google E.E.A.T.

Google E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) is a set of guidelines Google uses to assess the quality and credibility of your content. Essentially, it means your content should be written by someone with industry knowledge or experience, demonstrate a high level of skill, be recognized as reliable, and inspire confidence in its accuracy.

Google categorizes certain content as YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) if it directly affects a person’s well-being, finances, health, or safety.

Dental topics belong to this sensitive category because they deal with health-related information that can significantly impact a patient’s life and the misinformation in dental or oral care can lead to serious health complications, sometimes even systemic medical issues.

I would highly recommend optimizing your dental clinic website (topics) for Google E.E.A.T. because the search engines want to make sure that any advice or information provided is accurate, current, and delivered by people with real authority in the medical or dental fields.

If possible, include stories or data from real cases (with proper anonymization). Share experiences about common treatments, successes, or even challenges faced in dental practice.

Whenever you mention clinical data or reference best practices, link back to reputable journals, government health portals, or respected dental associations.

Even, if you decide to use AI tools to generate some of your content, that’s fine. However, it’s important to maintain control over quality. Have a human expert review and refine the AI output for accuracy, readability, and compliance with dental standards. Google values the final product, not necessarily how it was created, as long as E.E.A.T. is preserved.

Create a Content Hub

A content hub is a structured collection of content organized around one key subject, linking together a primary “pillar” article with several supporting “cluster” pieces. It makes it easy for readers, and search engines to find and explore all the information in one spot.

Image source

How It Could Look for a Dental Clinic

Let’s say your dental clinic focuses heavily on cosmetic dentistry. Under this umbrella, you could build a content hub around “Cosmetic Dentistry 101.” Inside that hub, you might have:

• Teeth Whitening Guides (overview, procedure details, aftercare tips)
• Veneers 101 (benefits, how they’re made, cost breakdown)
• Dental Bonding (step-by-step process, FAQs, common myths)
• Smile Makeover Case Studies (before-and-after comparisons, success stories)

Each article is interlinked, so anyone reading about “Cosmetic Dentistry 101” can easily click over to the veneers guide if they’re considering a complete smile makeover.

Personal Experience

Over the years, I’ve created content hub strategies for many companies, ranging across various industries, from dental clinics and tech startups to eCommerce fashion brands. In about 80% of those cases, we saw a significant boost in organic traffic and user engagement.

One lesson I learned early on is that it’s always better to do thorough research and replace external links with internal ones, especially when you have related articles that support the topic more directly.

Extra Considerations for Dental Clinics

Dental procedures can quickly become technical. If you’re trying to build trust, keep your language clear and accessible. Short sentences, plain English, and bullet points are a great way to explain complex topics like root canals or orthodontic treatments.

Dental anxiety is real, so consider producing calming, informative content that eases patient fears. For instance:

• Detailed FAQ sections on each treatment.
• Clear before-and-after images (with patient consent).
• Step-by-step breakdowns of procedures to demystify the process.

Dentistry is visual by nature, so integrate photos, infographics, and even short videos of your procedures or patient testimonials (again, with permission). Visual aids offer clarity and keep readers engaged.

A large part of dental success comes from what happens before a problem develops. So along with treatment-based content (crowns, braces, implants), include preventive topics (like flossing techniques, the importance of regular cleanings, and early signs of gum disease).

In your content hub, each main topic—say, “Dental Implants”—should link out to subpages like “Implant Maintenance,” “Cost Factors,” or “Healing and Aftercare.”

Citation Building

Citations are online references to your dental clinic’s core business details (often referred to as NAP: Name, Address, Phone number). Sometimes they include additional info like your website URL, business hours, or even specialties offered. A citation can appear on platforms such as Google Business Profile, Yelp, health-specific directories, or local business listings.

I understand that It’s easy to just add your practice details everywhere possible, but that “spray and pray” approach can be inefficient and may even undermine your credibility if you show up in irrelevant or spammy directories.

So, here is a pro tip from me:

For instance, if you Google “L.A dental clinic,” check which directories appear in the top organic positions, and start from there.

Directories you find consistently in those top spots are more likely to drive significant visibility and search engine trust.

Here’s how to be strategic:

Conduct a Local Keyword Search: Identify your primary and secondary keywords (“Dentist in [city],” “Orthodontist in [city]”), and note which business listing sites rank well for those terms.

Assess Directory Authority: Some directories carry more weight than others. High domain authority directories often show up on page one of Google, so make sure your presence there is immaculate.

Relevance to Dental/Healthcare: Healthcare-specific platforms like Zocdoc or Healthgrades can boost local and niche credibility. Though less common than general directories, these specialized ones often yield patients actively seeking a new dentist.

If a directory allows a business description, take the opportunity to integrate pertinent keywords like the type of dental services you specialize in without overstuffing. Also, pick the most accurate category (e.g., “Pediatric Dentist,” “Cosmetic Dentist,” “Orthodontist”) to make sure the right audience finds you.

Always look for ways to “claim” or “verify” your listing.

Free vs. Paid Directories

Free Directories: Great for wide coverage without extra cost. Most general local listing sites (Yelp, Google Business Profile, Bing Places) won’t charge a dime to showcase your practice. Just be thorough, making sure your profiles remain complete and up to date.

Paid Directories: Some niche healthcare directories or high-profile aggregator sites charge fees. Before paying, evaluate the potential ROI. Do they rank well for your chosen keywords? Do they promise exposure to a highly targeted audience? If you see evidence of strong traffic or if the directory is a known referral source for new patient leads, a fee might be justified.

Target “Near Me” Search Queries

One of my favorite strategies for capturing organic traffic is to create a dedicated page targeting “near me” queries. It’s not the typical approach, but it can bring hundreds of visitors looking for local, immediate services.

For example, when someone searches for a dental clinic “near me,” they’re signaling an immediate need. They’re likely in pain or eager to schedule a cleaning ASAP. Google knows this, so it often serves up location-based results before anything else.

What I suggest:

You can craft a dedicated piece of content—say, a blog post titled “How to Find a Dental Clinic Near Me”. Next, include a handful of carefully chosen elements to make the page robust and relevant to the search query:

Share practical tips on what to look for in a local dentist. Do they offer emergency services? Are they open on weekends?

Discuss local insurance policies or pricing considerations. Dental care can get expensive, so anything that helps folks save money or navigate insurance complexities is gold.

Here is a similar example for an “ SEO agency near me ” page (keyword).

Customize the map by adding markers for relevant dental clinics—this can be dynamically generated if you have a database of your clinic’s various locations or if you’re taking from Google’s listings directly.

You can display an info window with contact details, directions, or an appointment scheduling button.

Create Listicle Pages

You might have noticed that when searching for dental services in a specific area, instead of landing directly on a service page or a clinic’s homepage, Google frequently presents list-based results like “Top 10 Dental Clinics in LA.”

Listicles offer concise, easily digestible information that aligns with the modern reader’s preference for quick, structured content. They often occupy prime spots on the first page of search results, increasing the likelihood of clicks.

The only disadvantage is that listicles need regular updates to remain relevant. For example, dental clinics might change rankings based on new reviews, services, or market changes, necessitating ongoing content revisions.

How to Identify Listicle Opportunities

First things first. Start by conducting a thorough analysis of the SERPs for keywords related to your dental services. Look for existing listicles and note the common topics and formats that appear.

Next, conduct keyword research to identify keywords that frequently provide list-based results. Phrases like “best,” “top,” or “leading” coupled with your location can be absolute opportunities for listicle articles.

Keep an eye on your competitors’ content strategies. If they are successfully featured in listicles, it indicates a viable path worth exploring.

How to Craft a Listicle for Dental Clinics

To create a listicle that stands out, especially in the competitive dental industry, attention to detail is a must. Here are some steps to make sure your listicle is effective:

Comprehensive Research: Gather data on the top dental clinics in your area. Consider factors like patient reviews, range of services, clinic ambiance, technology used, and any unique selling points.

Structured Formatting: Organize the list in a clear and logical manner. You might rank clinics based on specific criteria or categorize them by specialties, such as orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, or pediatric services.

Visual Elements: Incorporate high-quality images or infographics to make the listicle visually appealing. Visuals can help convey the quality and environment of each clinic more effectively than text alone.

SEO Optimization: Make sure that your listicle is optimized for relevant keywords without sacrificing readability. Use meta tags, descriptive headings, and alt text for images to enhance SEO performance.

Post Before-and-After Images

Another powerful strategy in dental SEO is targeting “Before-and-After” keywords. Many people are often searching for visual proof of a dentist’s expertise and the transformations they can achieve. For instance, keywords like “teeth whitening before and after,” “dental veneers before and after,” or “Invisalign results before and after” can attract users who are specifically looking for evidence of successful treatments.

Did you notice the keyword difficulties (KD)? These are golden opportunities, I swear.

But we should not stop there, of course. To maximize the impact of this strategy, consider creating a dedicated landing page solely focused on before-and-after images.

It will become a visual portfolio that not only showcases your work but also serves as a targeted SEO asset. But, beyond the visuals, you must enrich the landing page with comprehensive information:

Detailed Descriptions: Accompany each before-and-after image with a thorough description of the procedure. Explain what was done, the materials used, and the expected outcomes. Include quotes or short testimonials from patients who underwent the treatments.

Outline the benefits of each dental procedure featured. Discuss how it improves oral health, enhances appearance, or boosts confidence.

Answer common questions related to the procedures showcased. This section can cover topics like recovery time, costs, and what patients can expect during and after the treatment.

Strategically place CTAs throughout the page to guide visitors toward booking a consultation or contacting your office. Clear and compelling CTAs can increase conversion rates by encouraging immediate action.

Create Quizzes and Free Online Tools

I’m not going to stop anywhere. Here is another killer technique that will put you ahead of the competition. Go all in and create quizzes and free online tools. Keep visitors on your site longer and encourage them to share their results with others.

Extended session durations and reduced bounce rates.

For example, quizzes, especially those that provide personalized results, are highly shareable on social media platforms. Each share is an opportunity for new visitors to discover your website.

The possibilities are endless but it’s always good to keep SEO in mind.

Design a quiz to help users evaluate their oral hygiene habits, including questions about brushing frequency, flossing routines, and dietary choices that impact dental health. Follow it up by testing their knowledge of dental facts and myths, and create personalized content to address any knowledge gaps.

Free tools, on the other hand, enhance user experience and establish your website as a valuable resource. For instance, for one of my clients, we developed a smile simulator that now drives significant traffic.

The smile visualization tool is a computer-generated simulation of what your smile may look like after using your products.

It looks like this:

Once you’ve attracted visitors with quizzes and tools, the next step is converting that traffic into leads. Here’s how:

Lead Capture Forms: Integrate forms within or after the quiz/tool interaction. For example, after completing an oral health assessment quiz, prompt users to enter their email to receive a personalized report.

Follow-Up Emails: Use the information gathered from quizzes and tools to send targeted follow-up emails. Personalized communication increases the likelihood of converting leads into patients.

Content Personalization: Customize the content on your website based on the user’s interactions with your quizzes and tools.

Incentives for Conversion: Offer incentives such as discounts on first consultations or free dental kits for users who engage deeply with your quizzes and tools.

Mobile SEO

I’m not reinventing the wheel here, but it’s worth reminding you that most of your patients today are reaching out to you through their smartphones. It’s no surprise that mobile users are often on the go, looking for quick information about dental services, booking appointments, or finding emergency care.

First and foremost, page speed is very important. Ask your developer to optimize your website speed. Next, make sure that the content available on the desktop version is also accessible on the mobile version.

Use Google Search Console to identify and fix any mobile-specific crawling issues.

Confirm that font sizes are legible on smaller screens so users don’t need to zoom in. Also, confirm that buttons and links are easy to tap by avoiding elements that are too small or placed too closely together.

Create Video Content

It might feel like the strategies in this blog post are limitless. But here is another way to enhance your dental SEO efforts. Visitors are more likely to stay longer, explore more, and interact with your site if you have video content. Google prioritizes content that keeps users engaged, and video is a compelling medium to achieve that.

There are many types of videos your dental clinic can create. For instance, you can explain common dental procedures, oral hygiene tips, or the importance of regular check-ups. It’s also a good idea to showcase real stories from satisfied patients, offer a glimpse into your clinic’s environment, introduce your team, and demonstrate the state-of-the-art equipment you use.

Pro Tip

If you want to find keywords with video intent, you can go to Keywords Explorer and enter a broad keyword related to your niche (e.g., “teeth whitening,” “dental hygiene tips”).

Next, select the country or region you’re targeting.

Look for keywords with video results in the SERP overview.

In the keyword results table, Ahrefs shows a preview of Google’s top search results. Video thumbnails often indicate video intent, meaning searchers prefer video content for these queries.

You can also look for terms like “how-to,” “tutorial,” or “review,” which typically have high video intent.

Examine the top-ranking videos for your chosen keywords. Observe the type of content that ranks well—whether it’s tutorials, testimonials, or informational pieces.

Determine the intent behind the searches. Are users looking for how-to guides, seeking reviews, or needing detailed explanations?

Identify areas that existing videos may not cover comprehensively.

Create Comparison Pages

For dental clinics, targeting comparison keywords is a great opportunity to attract patients who are further along in their decision-making process. They’re no longer just looking around, they’re actively deciding which option is best for their oral health.

Comparison keywords (topics) often have transactional intent, but they can also blend with consideration intent. People using comparison keywords (e.g., “best dental clinic vs. chain dental services,” “Invisalign vs. braces”) are actively evaluating their options, meaning they are closer to making a decision but may not have fully committed yet.

Use Clear, Structured Formats: Tables, charts, and bullet points can make comparisons easier to digest. Clear headings and subheadings help users quickly find the information they need.

Use relevant comparison keywords naturally within your content. Focus on long-tail keywords that reflect specific queries your potential patients might have.

AnswerThePublic is one of my favorite affordable SEO tools for discovering comparison keyword ideas. It visualizes search questions and phrases that people are actively using, providing a wealth of insights into what your potential patients are seeking.

AnswerThePublic allows you to explore a wide range of questions and phrases related to dental comparisons. It presents data in a visually appealing way, making it easier to identify patterns and prioritize content topics that align with user intent.

Pro Tips for Dental Clinics

Identify Key Comparison Factors: Determine what aspects are most important to your patients: cost, treatment duration, technology used, patient comfort, etc. Customize your comparisons around these factors to cover their primary concerns.

Stay Updated: Dental technologies and services evolve rapidly. Regularly update your comparison pages to reflect the latest advancements and maintain relevance.
Incorporate Multimedia Elements: Use images, infographics, and videos to complement your comparisons.

Internal Linking: Connect your comparison pages to other relevant content on your site, such as detailed service pages or blog posts.

Reputation Management

Reputation management might not be a direct SEO task but it plays an essential role. keeping a close eye on your customer reviews is a must. Responding to reviews, positive and negative, shows that you value patient feedback and are committed to continuous improvement.

For example, a thoughtful response to a negative review can turn a dissatisfied patient into a loyal one and demonstrate to potential clients that you care about their experiences.

Use tools to keep track of any mentions of your practice across the web. If you’re a local business, utilizing tools like BrightLocal can make reputation management more manageable. BrightLocal offers comprehensive features for tracking reviews, managing citations, and monitoring your overall online presence.

Schema Markup

Schema markup is a type of code (structured data) you can add to your website to help search engines understand the content better. It provides detailed information about your site, like what type of business you are, what services you offer, or what your content is about.

For example, if you’re a dental clinic, schema markup can tell search engines that your site is a dental office, list your services (e.g., teeth cleaning, braces, emergency care), and show your business hours, location, reviews, and even pricing.

For dental clinics, I would suggest implementing certain types of schema markup:

Local Business Schema: When you add local business schema to your website, it provides key details such as your business name, address, phone number (NAP), operating hours, services offered, and even customer reviews.

For example, if you’re a dental clinic, local business schema can help Google and other search engines display your business information in search results and Google Maps more effectively.

Medical Organization Schema: Customized specifically for healthcare providers, this schema highlights your clinic’s services, specialties, and the qualifications of your dental professionals. It paints a comprehensive picture of what you offer.

Review Schema: You can also showcase patient reviews. With review schema, your testimonials can appear directly in your search listings, adding social proof and credibility.

In simple terms, it involves optimizing a dentist’s online presence to make sure that when potential patients search for dental services, the practice appears in the top organic search results. What sets dental SEO apart from general SEO is its focus on the specific needs and behaviors of dental patients. However, the core SEO concepts like link-building and content development remain fundamentally the same as in general SEO.
