The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Gisborne?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Dentists in Gisborne 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 in pain.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Healthpoint and old directories confuse Google and push your dental practice down the map in Gisborne Central.
Rising cost per lead
Health advertising rules mean claims must be accurate and testimonials handled carefully. Paying per click for every Gisborne lead gets expensive fast.
How we work

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 Gisborne.
- 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 Riverdale and Wainui

What Jagdish fixes for dentists in Gisborne
