The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Melbourne?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Dentists in Melbourne need people close by searching "emergency dentist", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Patients search "dentist near me" and book one of the first three map results, often after hours.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, HotDoc and old directories confuse Google and push your dental practice down the map in Brunswick.
Rising cost per lead
AHPRA's advertising rules ban testimonials in advertising, so websites have to build trust in other ways. Paying per click for every Melbourne lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for dentists.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your dental practice's profile so it is eligible to rank across Melbourne.
- Primary category set to “Dentist”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Richmond and South Yarra
- LocalBusiness schema with exact coordinates on your site
If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.

What Jagdish fixes for dentists in Melbourne
Many patients choose by health fund and HICAPS claiming, so practices that never mention them lose those searches. We fix what holds dental practices in Melbourne back: a profile without “Dentist” set up properly, listings missing from HotDoc and no pages for South Yarra or Brunswick.

How long does local SEO take for a dental practice in Melbourne?
Most practices see map ranking movement within 6 to 10 weeks. Competitive suburbs can take 3 to 6 months to reach the top three.
Can we use patient reviews on our website?
