Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Ridgewood practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. Reviews and your Google Business Profile first

    Ridgewood has one NPI-registered dentist for every 450 residents, against one per 1,340 nationally. That works out to 3.0 times the US rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.

  2. Lead with elective and cash-pay services

    The median household income in Ridgewood is $208,211, against $80,734 for the US. Elective work earns its own pages and budget, with Google and Facebook ads.

  3. Service pages that answer the questions

    Among Ridgewood residents 25 and older, 80.1% hold a bachelor's degree or higher (US 35.7%). Detailed treatment pages come first, and the SEO work builds on them.

  4. A crowded field for physical therapists

    Ridgewood has 1.7 times the US number of NPI-registered physical therapists per resident, one for every 680 residents. A physical therapist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for physical therapists.
