The Full MedFlowX Patient Acquisition Process

Every step is transparent. You know exactly what's happening, when, and why — and you approve everything before it goes live on your website.

1
Week 1 — Free Audit & Strategy Call

Your Free Dental SEO Audit

Before we charge you a penny, we conduct a full manual audit of your website, your local competitors, and the keyword landscape in your city. Most agencies send an automated report. We send a real analysis — written by a dental SEO strategist, not generated by a tool.

Your audit covers: your current keyword rankings, technical issues hurting your visibility, your competitors' ranking pages and content gaps, your Google Business Profile performance, and a prioritised action plan with realistic traffic and enquiry projections. This audit is what we run for our paying clients — we give it to you free because we believe you'll see the opportunity clearly enough to work with us.

What You Get

Full keyword ranking audit, competitor analysis, technical issues list, and prioritised opportunity map — delivered in 24 hours.

What You Do

Submit your website URL and city. Book a 30-minute strategy call to walk through findings. Ask every question you have.

What We Do

Manual analysis of your site, local search landscape, and top 5 competitors. Deliver the audit. Run the strategy call.

Week 1–2 — Onboarding & Access

Onboarding & Keyword Research

Once you decide to go ahead, onboarding takes less than a week. We collect website access, connect Google Search Console and Analytics, and begin building your keyword map — the master document that governs every piece of content and every optimisation decision for the next 12 months.

Your keyword map is specific to your city, your treatment mix, and your competitive position. We identify the fast-win keywords you can rank for in 4–8 weeks, the medium-term targets at 3–6 months, and the high-competition keywords that build toward 12-month dominance. This document is yours — you own it, you can see it, you approve the strategy.

Fast-Win Keywords

Lower competition, immediate opportunity. Often long-tail and local queries with clear patient intent. Rank in 4–8 weeks.

Mid-Term Keywords

Moderate competition, significant volume. Treatment-specific and city-level keywords. Rank in 3–5 months.

Long-Term Targets

High competition, high value. "Dentist [city]", "dental implants [city]". Build toward 6–12 months with authority accumulation.

Week 2–4 — Technical Foundation

Technical SEO & On-Page Optimisation

Before producing content, we ensure your website's technical foundation is solid. A site with technical issues — slow load times, broken canonical tags, missing schema markup, duplicate content, or poor mobile performance — will underperform in search regardless of how good the content is. We fix these first.

On-page optimisation follows: title tags and meta descriptions rewritten for every key page, header structure corrected, internal linking architecture established, schema markup implemented (ProfessionalService, FAQPage, LocalBusiness), and Core Web Vitals assessed and improved. This technical layer is what gives every piece of content we subsequently produce the best possible chance of ranking.

What You Do
  • Provide website CMS access (WordPress, Squarespace, etc.)
  • Connect Google Search Console and Analytics (we guide you)
  • Review and approve our on-page changes before they go live
What We Do
  • Full technical audit and prioritised fix list
  • Title tags, meta descriptions, header structure for all pages
  • Schema markup: ProfessionalService, LocalBusiness, FAQPage
  • Internal linking architecture across all service and location pages
  • Core Web Vitals assessment and speed improvement recommendations

Month 1–3 — Content Programme

Treatment Pages & Content Cluster Build

Content is the engine of long-term dental SEO. Once the technical foundation is in place, we build out the content architecture that will generate organic traffic for years. This means individual service pages for every treatment you offer, location pages if you serve multiple areas, and a blog content programme targeting every question your ideal patients are searching for. For a broader look at every channel involved, see our complete guide to digital marketing for dentists →

Each piece of content is written by dental SEO writers who understand how patients research treatments — not generic content writers who also cover crypto and real estate. Every article serves a dual purpose: ranking in Google and converting readers into consultation enquiries. All content is reviewed by you before publication. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.

Service Pages

Individual pages for implants, Invisalign, cosmetic, general dentistry — each targeting a specific keyword cluster and patient intent.

Location Pages

City and neighbourhood-specific pages for local searches. Unique content for each location — no duplicate templates.

Blog Articles

3–4 articles per month targeting patient questions at every stage of the research journey. Links back to your service pages to build their authority.

5
Ongoing — Local Signals & Authority

Local SEO & Authority Building

Ranking in Google Maps — the "local pack" that appears above organic results for searches like "dentist near me" — requires a different set of signals from regular organic SEO. We manage both simultaneously. Your Google Business Profile is optimised for your treatment mix, your citation footprint is audited and corrected across major dental directories, and your review acquisition strategy is set up to generate a steady stream of high-quality patient reviews.

Off-page authority building through high-quality backlinks from dental industry publications, local business directories, and health-sector websites sends Google the signal that your practice is a trusted authority in your market. This layer is what accelerates results for competitive city-level keywords where content alone isn't enough.

What You Do
  • Follow the review request template we provide for post-appointment emails
  • Respond to Google reviews (we provide guidance on how)
  • Let us know about any practice updates (new services, new staff)
What We Do
  • Google Business Profile optimisation and weekly post management
  • Citation audit and correction across 40+ dental and local directories
  • Review acquisition system setup and monitoring
  • Outreach for dental industry backlinks and local mentions

Monthly — Reporting & Iteration

Monthly Reporting & Strategy Review

Every month, you receive a clear report showing what changed, what's ranking, what traffic is coming in, and what we're doing next. No dashboards full of meaningless graphs. No 40-page PDFs that nobody reads. A straightforward document connecting our SEO activity to your patient acquisition outcomes.

The monthly report covers: keyword ranking changes (up, down, new), organic traffic trend, estimated enquiries from organic search, Google Business Profile performance (calls, direction requests, website visits), content published that month, and the plan for the next 30 days. You can book a 30-minute call to walk through the report — or just read it and reply with questions.

Rankings Report

Every target keyword tracked monthly. Clear movement indicators — no hiding declining keywords or cherry-picking wins.

Traffic & Enquiries

Organic sessions, click-through rate, estimated enquiry volume from dental keyword traffic. The metrics that connect to chair-side revenue.

Next 30 Days

Clear plan: which content is being published, which technical items are being addressed, which backlinks are being pursued.

Division of Labour

What You Handle vs What We Handle

Our goal is to make this as hands-off as possible for you. You run a dental practice — you don't have time to learn SEO. Here's exactly how the responsibilities split.

Your Responsibilities

🗝️ Website access. Provide CMS login during onboarding so we can implement technical changes and publish content.
📋 Content review and approval. Every piece of content is sent to you before publication. Your clinical approval ensures accuracy.
Patient reviews. Use our review request template after appointments. A steady flow of new Google reviews is one of the highest-leverage things you can do.
📞 Monthly call (optional). A 30-minute call to review the monthly report and plan the next month. Optional — many clients just reply by email.
📸 Photography (if available). Real photos of your team, your clinic, and your patient cases significantly improve conversion rates. We'll tell you exactly what to photograph.

FAQs

Common Questions About How We Work

What happens in the first 30 days after I sign up?
Week 1: full technical audit, keyword gap analysis, and GBP review — we share a prioritised fix list for your approval. Week 2: technical fixes implemented and 90-day content calendar finalised. Weeks 3–4: first new treatment and location pages written, reviewed by you, and published. By day 30, your site has been technically cleaned up, your GBP has been optimised, and the content build is underway. Most practices see their first ranking movements in weeks 5–8.
What does the client need to do once MedFlowX starts?
Very little. We handle all SEO strategy, content creation, technical implementation, and reporting. Clients need to provide website access during onboarding, review and approve content before it goes live, follow our review request process with patients, and participate in a monthly 30-minute reporting call if they'd like to. That's it — no ongoing SEO knowledge required on your end.
How do you measure success?
We measure what matters: keyword rankings for your target dental searches, organic traffic to your website, and estimated patient enquiries generated from search. We don't report on vanity metrics. Every monthly report connects SEO activity directly to patient acquisition outcomes — so you can assess the ROI yourself.
Do I need to be involved in creating the content?
We write everything — service pages, blog articles, location pages, FAQ schemas. Before anything goes live, you review and approve it. Clinical accuracy is your responsibility to confirm; everything else (keyword research, writing, SEO formatting, publishing) is ours. Most clients spend about 20–30 minutes per month reviewing content.
Is there a minimum contract period?
We operate on rolling monthly agreements with no minimum term. SEO is a compounding strategy and results at month 6 are significantly greater than at month 1 — clients who commit to 6–12 months see the best ROI by far. But we earn your business through results, not contractual lock-in.
