How to pick the right agency (quick checklist)

• Dental experience: look for case studies showing real patient-acquisition results for dental practices (not just generic SEO wins). (thriveagency.com)
• Local SEO expertise: they must manage Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, and location pages for multi-location practices. (firstpagesage.com)
• Transparent KPIs & reporting: ask for sample dashboards, lead tracking, and conversion metrics (calls/appointments booked). (thriveagency.com)
• Reviews & references: check Google, Clutch, DesignRush, and independent case studies. (DesignRush.com)
• Contract terms & guarantees: prefer month-to-month or clear deliverables; be wary of vague “rank guarantees.” (thriveagency.com)

How to find “near me” dental SEO agencies right now

• Search Google Maps for “dental SEO agency” or “dental marketing agency” + your city/ZIP; sort by ratings and recent reviews.
• Use directories (Clutch, DesignRush, TopSEOBRANDS) and filter by “dental” or “healthcare.” (DesignRush.com)
• Ask peers in local dental study clubs or Facebook groups for dentist referrals — first‑hand referrals are often most reliable.
• Shortlist 3, have them do a free local SEO audit, compare recommendations and pricing, then pick a trial month before longer commitments. (thriveagency.com)

If you want, I can:

• Build a 5‑agency “near you” shortlist (with phone, website, and one-sentence speciality) if you tell me your city or ZIP.
• Or fetch recent case studies/pricing comparisons for any of the agencies above.

Which would you prefer — a local shortlist (tell me city or ZIP) or more details on any of the agencies listed?
