Local search queries are the #1 way new patients will find you online. When patients want dental treatment, their web searches will include two types of keywords:
- The type of dentistry they need (dentist, braces, dental implants, etc.)
- Their geographic area (city, town, neighborhood, etc.)
All IDA web portals are geotargeted to increase search engine positioning for local searches. We use advanced geotagging techniques to include geolocation information (like cities, ZIP codes, and your county and state) on every page of your dental website.
Google Maps Puts Your Practice on the Map
“Within the first 4 months I have received more than a few high-value new patient cases. We’ve converted 8 patients for a total of $24,000 in production. Compare that with another $12,000 in larger cosmetic cases and sedation treatment plans already in progress, and I can confidentially say that I have realized a significant return on investment.”

You can further enhance your local search results with an online business listing. IDA assists doctors with every step of the process.
Once you claim your local business listing, you can control much of the information presented there. List your address, business hours, phone number, website, and even provide a description of the services you offer.
IDA supports dentists with local search in a variety of ways. We can set up your profile, offer profile verification assistance, and provide tips and pointers as to how your profile can be enhanced with video, reviews, special offers, benefit points, etc.
Dentist Profiles within Google Local Search
Did you know that Google allows each doctor within a dental practice to have their own local search listing? IDA can assist you with every step of the verification process.
We focus our primary attention on Google Maps (previously known as Google Local), the top local search portal. Other local search engines include Yahoo! Local and Bing Local (previously Windows Live Local, also known as Bing Maps).
