SEO for dental practices

Patients search first. Be the answer they trust.

Example: a patient's search, answered by an article on your website

  • toothache won't go away — A toothache that won't go away: what it can mean
  • dental implants vs bridge — Implant or bridge? How the options compare
  • does medicare cover dental — Does Medicare cover dental care?
  • broken tooth what to do
  • invisalign vs braces
  • root canal vs extraction
  • sedation dentistry
  • dentist without insurance

StrideRank researches what people near your practice search — a toothache tonight, an implant next spring — and publishes clear, sourced articles on your website every week. No hype, no promises.

Two kinds of search

Pain tonight, or a plan for next spring.

Some patients search with a toothache at night. Others research implants or aligners for weeks. Your articles have to work for both.

Tonight

It hurts

They read for a minute, then call. The article that answers first — on your site — gets the appointment.

  • toothache won't go away
  • broken tooth what to do
  • swollen gums
  • emergency dentist near me
Example

What the article needs

  • Your number and booking link at the top
  • What helps until the appointment
  • When to call a dentist today
Weeks

The treatment plan

Implants, aligners, crowns. Patients compare, read carefully and check who they trust with it.

  • dental implants cost
  • implants vs bridge
  • invisalign vs braces
  • crown vs filling
Example

What the article needs

  • Options explained without hype
  • Costs only from your site or with a source
  • No promises, no patient stories

Typical phrasings, not your numbers. Your real list comes from keyword research for your area.

What you get

New patients, planned ahead. Every number in one place.

Treatment articles run all year; questions about insurance and the end of the benefit year go live before patients ask. You see what Google shows for each article, and which ones bring appointment requests.

Does Medicare cover dental care in 2026?

By Bayside Family Dental · Updated October 2026 · made-up practice

A common mix-upMedicare covers your cleanings and fillings.

As of October 2026

Some Medicare Advantage plans include dental benefits. How to check what your own plan covers before you book.

Plans differ — checked per plan, never assumed.

  1. Step 1 Analyze

    Enter your website

    We read your pages and learn your treatments, your team's stated qualifications and your area — and only write what your site backs up.

  2. Step 2 Approve

    Approve your keywords

    Urgent care, implants, aligners, insurance, kids — built from what people near your practice search. Keep, drop or add your own.

  3. Step 3 Connect

    Connect your website

    WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Shopify or a custom site — or we host the blog for you.

  4. Step 4 Publish

    New articles every week

    Review mode holds every article for your approval — recommended for health topics. Or let it run.

Will the articles give medical advice?

They explain causes, options and what to expect, and they tell readers when to see a dentist. They don't diagnose and they don't promise outcomes. Review mode lets you approve every article first.

Can articles call me a specialist?

Only if your website says so. Claims your site does not back up — specialties, technologies, awards — are left out.

Will you use patient stories or reviews?

No. No patient stories, no reviews, no before-and-after claims. Nothing that touches patient privacy.

Will it write prices?

Only the prices on your own website, or ranges with a linked source. Never made-up prices.

Do I still need booking sites or ads?

Maybe, for now. Many practices use both. They bring patients while you pay; articles keep working when you pause.

How long until it brings calls?

SEO is slow — months, not days. Impressions in Search Console usually move within the first weeks; rankings and calls take longer, often two to three months, and longer for a new domain.

Will Google penalize AI-written articles?

Google ranks helpful content, no matter how it was written. What it penalizes is mass-produced pages with nothing new in them. Every article is researched for your services and your area, checked against sources and has to pass a quality check before it goes out.

Who owns the articles?

You do. Everything we publish is yours, stays on your site if you cancel, and can be exported at any time.

Can you guarantee the #1 spot on Google?

No. Nobody honest can — Google's own guide to hiring an SEO says the same. What we show you is every article we publish and what Search Console reports for it.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $57 a month, billed monthly. No setup call and no contract — see all plans on the pricing page.
