The challenge
Maple Dental Centre’s leadership asked the question every practice owner should: “What is SEO actually doing for us?” Traffic charts weren’t answering it. The practice wanted visibility measured against the searches that matter, like ‘dentist in Maple,’ emergency and new-patient searches, and higher-value services like Invisalign. Not vanity metrics.
Our response: a ground-up audit and a keyword strategy rebuilt around exactly those searches.
