Honest Local SEO for Dentists Working Derby and Around
If you've been going round in circles trying to work out why Derby's newer dentists are getting more work than you, the answer is almost always the same: they sorted their Google listing and you didn't. We sort yours.

Derby: Why Google Decides Who Gets the Calls
Most dentists working Derby cover Mickleover, Chaddesden, and a bit of Belper. The customers in those areas Google for what they need before they call anyone, and Google usually shows them three options. We get you into those three.
Dentists working Derby have a slightly different mix than dentists elsewhere because of the neighbourhoods involved. Most Derby dentist calls come from Chellaston, Mickleover, Spondon and the corridor toward Burton upon Trent.
How Local SEO Actually Works for You
In Derby, the dentists who keep their diary full are not the cheapest or the best. They are the ones whose Google listing turns up first when somebody searches for dentist services in Derby. We get your dentist listing into that group. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Dentists in Derby who join the package go through the same dentist-specific onboarding: we collect dentist business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the dentist site over the following week and start the dentist SEO and Google profile work in week two.
The work coming through the door for dentists is mostly cosmetic dentistry demand, dental implant enquiries, and teeth whitening. Most dentists are accredited with General Dental Council (GDC), Care Quality Commission (CQC), and that is one of the things dentist customers check before they call.
What Most Local Owners Get Wrong
For dentists working Derby (especially around Mickleover and Chaddesden), this is the unflattering bit nobody warns dentist owners about. Most dentists in Derby are invisible for the urgent searches that bring jobs. It's not the market. It's not the economy. It's not your prices. The phone is quiet because the people who used to find you in the Yellow Pages now search Google, and Google doesn't show your business. That's the entire problem.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
We target the search terms your customers actually type, not the ones the SEO tools say have the most volume. Half the high-volume keywords in any niche are useless because they are educational searches, not buying searches. We focus on the buying ones.
Missed-Call Text-Back
When you are on a job and the phone rings, you cannot always answer. The system fires off a text within seconds: 'Hi, can't pick up right now, I'll be back to you shortly. What's the issue?'. Roughly a third of those calls turn into jobs you would otherwise have lost completely.
Review Automation
What you get over a year is the difference between 'has 12 reviews from 2023' and 'has 50 reviews, the most recent one yesterday'. Google ranks the second listing higher every time.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Standard price is £299 once and £449 every month after. The website is included in the setup fee and you own it forever. Three months minimum, then rolling.
What do you actually do every month?
Six things every month: Google profile updates, fresh website content, automated review requests, missed-call recovery, ranking checks, and a monthly report. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise charges.
Do I need to do anything technical?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
