How Can Dentists Dominate Google Maps?

Google Maps leads new patients to your office every single day – whether you know it or not. 

But in order for dentists to dominate Google Maps, there are certain things you must do to make sure Google can find your dental practice when patients go a searchin’.

Listing your dental practice on Google Maps is the start, but it doesn’t end there. 

In order for dentists to dominate Google Maps, you need to claim more than your Google My Business listing.

Local SEO for dentist starts with an owned, verified & optimized Google My Business profile, it’s a great – free – way to get your practice in front of new patients.

Most searches these days take place on a mobile device, this is one primary reason why Google is going to a mobile-first index by July 2018. 

Google found that 4 out of 5 people surveyed used search engines to conduct local searches. 88% used smartphones and 84% used a computer or tablet.

Mobile-first means Google will be ranking the mobile version of your website, before the desktop version.

Takeaway: you shoulda been mobile-friendly as of April 21st, 2015

Prospective new patients search for a “dentist near me,” “top-rated cosmetic dentist,” “dentist open saturdays,“ or any other popular search term on their mobile device, and Google Maps shows dentists near their location. 

Google Maps leads patients straight to your office door — but only if you’ve made that door easy for Google to find.
