The reality
Why most dental practices aren't ranking
and what's usually behind it.
Not in the Google 3-Pack
he map pack captures the majority of clicks on any local search. Most practices outside it aren't doing anything wrong - they just haven't had someone systematically build the signals Google needs to put them there.
No Topical Authority
A few service pages and a contact form won't outrank a practice that's built structured content around every procedure, location, and question patients are asking. Google rewards depth.
No Review Strategy
Practices with 200+ reviews didn't get lucky. They have a consistent, and repeatable system for requesting and responding to reviews. That's all it is - and it's buildable.

Common Questions
How long does it take to see results?
30-60 days for long-tail keywords. 60-90 days for map-pack movement. 90-180 days for meaningful booking lift. Anyone promising overnight is lying.
How is ClickWave different from a generic agency?
We niche to dental. Content templates, schema patterns, citation lists, and review systems are pre-built for your industry - no learning curve markup.
Do I need Google Business Profile?
Yes. GBP is the single biggest local ranking factor. If you don't have one, we set it up. If you do, we rebuild it.
What about AI search - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews?
That's exactly why AEO and GEO are core to our service now. We structure your content so AI platforms pull from your site when patients ask about dentists near them.
What happens if I stop SEO?
Rankings won't crash overnight, but competitors keep investing and you'll slide. SEO compounds - 12 months of consistent work usually outpays a year of ads.
Do you work outside the US?
Our home turf is the US, but we work with practices in the UK, Canada, and Australia.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. Month-to-month, 30-day notice. Your content and citations stay with you.
