Case Study: How a Wenatchee Dentist Got 37% More Traffic with Local SEO
When it comes to local SEO, dentists face steep competition. Patients want providers who are not just nearby, but also credible, visible, and easy to reach online.
At GSD Local, we recently helped a Wenatchee-based dental clinic grow their traffic by 37% in just 90 days using a focused local SEO strategy. Here’s exactly how we did it—and how your practice can see similar results.
👩⚕️ The Client
A general and cosmetic dental office in Wenatchee, WA. Like many practices, they had:
A functioning website, but no blog
An outdated Google Business Profile (GBP)
Inconsistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) listings
A handful of reviews with no review strategy
Their goal? More phone calls. More patients. Better visibility.
🔍 The Strategy
1. Google Business Profile Optimization
We fully optimized their GBP with:
Accurate business info and hours
Updated service categories and descriptions
Photos of the office and staff
Appointment link integration
2. Local Keyword Optimization
We implemented location-specific keywords like:
“Wenatchee cosmetic dentist”
“teeth whitening near Columbia River”
“family dental clinic in Wenatchee”
These keywords were placed throughout their site, titles, metadata, and image alt tags.
3. Review Generation System
We helped them create a simple review request system via text and email. Within 60 days, they had:
28 new 5-star reviews
A jump from 4.0 ⭐ to 4.8 ⭐ average rating
4. Citation & Directory Cleanup
We cleaned and synced their business info across:
Healthgrades
Yelp
Bing
Yellow Pages
Apple Maps and more
5. Blog Content Launch
We published two keyword-focused blog posts:
“Top 5 Reasons to Get Your Teeth Cleaned Twice a Year”
“What to Look for in a Family Dentist in Wenatchee”
Each post ranked for long-tail local search terms within a few weeks.
📊 The Results (in 90 Days)
37% increase in organic traffic
52% increase in phone calls from Google Business Profile
23% improvement in map pack visibility
Higher ranking for 12 local keywords
Most importantly? More booked appointments.
