Dental Clinics.
Own the Map Pack.
Serpner gets dental clinics into the top 3 of the Google Map Pack for every treatment in their catchment area. More Map Pack positions means more patient calls, more directions requests, and more booked appointments.

Why Dental GMB Fails
Your dental clinic is missing the top 3 where 44% of patients click first.
Incomplete Google Business Profile
A GBP without complete service listings, treatment descriptions, Q&A sections, and updated photos signals to Google that this practice is not actively managed. Incomplete profiles rank significantly lower than fully optimised ones.
Too few reviews and slow response
Review count, review recency, average star rating, and response rate are direct Map Pack ranking factors. A practice with 30 reviews and no responses will consistently lose to a competitor with 120 reviews and active engagement.
Inconsistent NAP across directories
Google cross-references your Name, Address, and Phone number across hundreds of online directories. If these differ between your website, GBP, and local citations, Google loses confidence in your location data and your Map Pack position suffers.
No Google Posts or product listings
Google Posts and service listings are free visibility tools that most dental practices ignore. Regular Posts signal an active business and contribute to profile completeness scoring. Practices that use them consistently rank higher than those that do not.
What We Do
Every GMB service a dental clinic needs to dominate local search.
Review Generation and Management
Systematic patient review generation campaigns, professional response management for all reviews, and reputation monitoring across Google, NHS Choices, Trustpilot, and dental-specific review platforms.
Google Business Profile Optimisation
Complete GBP setup and optimisation: business categories, service areas, treatment listings, attributes, opening hours, appointment links, and primary category selection to maximise relevance for dental search queries.
Google Posts and Content
Weekly Google Posts covering treatment promotions, patient education, practice news, and seasonal offers. Regular posting signals an active, well-managed practice to both Google and prospective patients browsing your profile.
Local Citation Building
NAP-consistent citation creation and correction across 80+ dental and local business directories. Consistent citations across authoritative directories directly improve Map Pack ranking stability and geographic relevance signals.
GBP Photo and Video Optimisation
Professional photo strategy for your GBP: exterior, interior, treatment rooms, team, and before-and-after imagery. Profiles with 100 or more photos receive significantly more direction requests and clicks than those with fewer than 10.
GMB Performance Reporting
Monthly reports tracking AI mention frequency, citation sources, query coverage across AI platforms, and enquiry volume attributed to AI search. You see exactly where your practice appears and where to improve.
GBP Signal Areas
The six signal areas that determine your Map Pack position.
Signal 01
Relevance
How closely your GBP matches what the patient is searching for. Determined by your primary and secondary categories, service listings, and keyword usage in your business description.
- Primary category selection
- Service and treatment listings
- Keyword-rich business description
- Attributes and features
Signal 02
Proximity
How close your practice is to the searcher. You cannot change your location, but you can expand your effective ranking radius through local citation authority and service area settings.
- Service area configuration
- Local citation radius coverage
- Neighbourhood-level keyword targeting
- Multi-location strategy
Signal 03
Prominence
How well-known and trusted your practice is online. Driven by review count, review rating, citation volume, website authority, and the number of online mentions of your practice name.
- Review generation campaigns
- Citation volume building
- Brand mention monitoring
- Website authority signals
Signal 04
Review Quality
Not just quantity. Review recency, average star rating, keyword mentions within reviews, and owner response rate all influence your Map Pack position and patient conversion rate.
- Review velocity strategy
- Treatment-specific review prompts
- Response rate management
- Negative review handling
Signal 05
Profile Completeness
Google rewards fully completed profiles. Every empty field is a missed ranking signal. From Q&A sections to accessibility attributes, we fill every available element of your GBP.
- Q&A population and management
- Accessibility attributes
- Payment method listings
- Booking link integration
Signal 06
Engagement Signals
How patients interact with your profile: photo views, direction requests, call clicks, and website visits all signal to Google that your listing is relevant and valuable for local searchers.
- Photo optimisation strategy
- Google Posts frequency
- Appointment link CTR
- Question and answer activity
