Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Denver practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. Reviews and your Google Business Profile first

    One NPI-registered dentist per 1,049 residents in Denver (US: one per 1,340). We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.

  2. Service pages that answer the questions

    56.5% of Denver residents aged 25 and older hold a bachelor's degree or higher, against 35.7% for the US. Detailed treatment pages come first, and the SEO work builds on them.

  3. A crowded field for plastic surgeons

    1.4 times the US number of NPI-registered plastic surgeons per resident (one per 41,145 residents). A plastic surgeon here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for plastic surgeons.
