Make your practice the first choice when someone searches for a dentist in your area.
We position your practice in the top 3 on Google Maps so you get more calls from local patients—not just visits to your website.
GOOGLE MAPS IS WHERE YOU WIN OR LOSE PATIENTS IN YOUR AREA
When someone needs a dentist in your city, they don't go to page 2 of Google: they look at the map and pick one of the top 3 results. If your practice isn't there, for most patients it simply doesn't exist.
Nearly 1 in 2 Google searches has local intent: people look for a specific business near where they are.
Most local mobile searches end in a call the same day: the patient has a real need and wants a fast solution.
The practice that appears first in the local pack gets almost 3× more calls than third: being on the map helps, but being #1 makes the difference.
In Google Maps there are only three winners per search. The first one takes most of the calls. Positioning your practice there is not optional: that is where your patient is.
EVERYTHING YOUR PRACTICE NEEDS TO BE ONE OF THE TOP 3 ON THE MAP
Dominating local SEO is not luck or “tweaking a few things” on your listing. It is visibility, reputation and consistency that, when done right, get Google to place you above other practices in your area.
Google Business Profile
We optimise your listing so it stands out and builds trust—photos, services, copy and categories designed to turn searches into calls.
Review strategy
We put in place a system so you receive genuine positive reviews from real patients on a steady basis, without pushing or looking artificial.
NAP consistency
We align name, address and phone across the web so Google knows exactly who you are and where you are.
Local landing pages
We create or improve pages for your city or neighbourhood, optimised for searches like “dentist in [area]” that attract nearby patients.
Local monitoring
We track your map rankings and calls from your listing so you see exactly how you are progressing.
Online reputation and advanced review management
If you want a complete digital reputation strategy with mention monitoring, alerts and active management, check our specialist service.

en el pack local con Updent
“Before working with Updent we had been invisible on Google Maps for two years. Within three months we were in the 3-pack for "dentist Manchester city centre" and by month four we were getting daily calls directly from Maps.”
“The NAP consistency work was an eye-opener. We had our old phone number on over 30 directories and it was penalising us without us even knowing. Updent corrected everything and within weeks we noticed the shift in the local pack.”
“The geo-targeted pages they created for Birmingham neighbourhoods have been a game-changer. We now receive patients from Edgbaston, Moseley and Harborne who could not find us before even though they lived ten minutes away.”
