The best keywords
Dental SEO keyword research
our website must be FOUND for the right keywords, from hygienist treatments to smile makeovers. An excellent advantage we have as experienced dental marketers is we have already done 10 years of dental keyword research.
This gives us limitless opportunities to drive traffic to your clinic’s website.
Without a digital audience, you have no hope of selling anything. Together, we can harness the power of Google’s organic search traffic.
Vanilla Circus are specialists in dental SEO, with a particular interest in the private dental industry since 2007. As a result, we have access to digital marketing techniques that generate new patients that other agencies have not even thought of.

Results driven approach
Dental content that persuades
Not all patients are ready to buy this minute. Most need more than a single content page to convince them to part with thousands.
- Building and writing treatment sections that walk you through the cost, procedure, materials, technology and patient reviews.
- Dental offers, finance deals, banners and messaging to push the user to enquire then and there.
The below example is the increase in enquiry level after working on the user journey and rewriting treatment pages and homepage copy.
• Above example is with a 60% increase in the original conversion rate
Annual Traffic Conversion rate Enquiries Revenue
24,000 1.25% 300 £50,000
24,000 2.1% 504 £252,500
• Revenue is the number of enquiries with a 33% patient rate and an average spent of £500.
FAQs
Dental SEO Guide
What is Dental SEO?
“Dental SEO is the process of improving a practice’s website’s ability to be found on Google, to connect with web users and turn those users into paying patients.” More.
The importance of SEO for dentists
SEO can be far more successful than adverts for selling cosmetic dentistry. Vanilla Circus has worked with over 46 dentists in the last 16 years, and we can show you how this can be achieved effectively over time. More.
How to build trust & credibility with patients
Being found on the first page of Google, having informative, persuasive content, and excellent reviews are just three ways SEO can deliver trust and brand credibility.
SEO for dentists: Why does it matter?
With inflation through the roof and costs rising, Practice Managers and Principals are wise to monitor and gauge their marketing expenses and discover which marketing channels are:
- Paying their way and creating profit
- Generating the right type of patient to future-proof the practice revenue.
SEO drives the right traffic to your website
Done correctly SEO, generated traffic converts far better than adverts.
- Users are searching for your services. They did not stumble across an ad
- They turn up more often as they have read and seen your website, so they have a better chance of buying into your brand and what you stand for.
- SEO traffic is free Google Advertising; it cannot be turned off, and there is no cost per click.
Developing a better patient journey
Conversion is everything. Currently, Google’s algorithm rewards fast, well-designed websites that are easy to navigate and contain high-quality content that seeks to inform and not just sell.
Your competitors rely on SEO
In the UK dental market, there are approximately 14000 dental practices, of which 4,500 are private. Our sales team has studied and identified that 332 dental practices are actively marketing their websites with SEO. About 7%.
This figure rises to 19%, including practices that have used SEO but have stopped.
You can identify these companies as they always pay for the Private Dentistry Awards. Our services suit NHS dentists looking to expand into the private sector.
How to do patient acquisition correctly
Web visitors are converted into NEW LEADS when your website:
- Meet an emotional/physical need.
- Create a sufficient level of trust.
Recognise what the patient wants.
Meeting a NEED
- Successfully sell the dream of being more attractive/confident through straighter, whiter teeth through your own practice brand validation, before and after successes and carefully craft dental marketing messages promoting your dentists and the right suppliers.
- Solve a health issue. Replace a missing tooth, reduce toothache, fix tooth/gum etc. Offer helpful advice. See Google’s advice on helpful content.
Creating TRUST: A strategy
People Buy from dentists/practices they trust and can deliver.
- Clear, emotive content with compelling information on the process, treatment time scales, etc., that answers all prospective patients’ worries and concerns.
- Multiple ways of contacting the practice, from Enquirybot optimisation to managing Live chat, WhatsApp and multiple forms.
- Believable before and after images and images of real people at the practice
- Clear, trustworthy prices and finance and professional service levels.
- Offers and simple treatment add-ons that offer real value.
- Believable reviews on Google and other websites
- Active social media
This is largely why some leads generated from Google and Facebook adverts are so poor. See why SEO is the best strategy.
Whilst the advert meets the physical or emotional need, the brand buy-in is not sufficient to generate the relevant amount of TRUST. Organic search is about browsing, connecting with, questions, the telling and reading of brand stories.
Vanilla Circus SEO encompasses code, content, backlinks selling, marketing and UX (user experience) optimisation and conversion.
