The verdict in three sentences
A multi-location dental group that sends every practice to a single homepage loses patients to whichever clinic is most visible in the neighbourhood. One optimised page per location, at EUR 500 to 1,000 each (about USD 540 to 1,080), paired with a well-maintained Google Business Profile per site, closes that gap. With EUR 600 to 1,500 a month of ongoing work, a realistic target is 20 to 40 extra appointments a month without breaching professional advertising rules.
Why local SEO matters so much for a dental group
About 46% of Google searches have local intent, and healthcare is a sector where proximity decides. A patient in Brickell searches "dentist Brickell" or "dental implants Miami 33131", not the group's name. Google then shows three practices in the local pack, chosen by relevance, distance and prominence (reviews, citations, links).
For a group of 6 practices spread across Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Wynwood, Kendall and Fort Lauderdale, each location needs its own page: address, hours, dentists, treatments offered, transit access, parking, and a Google Business Profile linked to that exact page.

What the professional rules allow, and what they forbid
Dental advertising is regulated, in France by the Ordre des chirurgiens-dentistes and in Florida by the Board of Dentistry. The common thread: communication must be truthful and informative, with no misleading claims, no guaranteed outcomes and strict limits on testimonials and discount messaging. Local SEO must therefore rely on factual, verifiable content.

Mini case study
Dr Martinez, managing partner of a 6-practice dental group in the Miami area, finds that three of the six locations never appear in the local pack. The group books 520 online appointments a month.
- Audit: EUR 1,400. 6 location pages: EUR 4,800. 6 optimised profiles: EUR 1,500. That is EUR 7,700 up front, then EUR 1,100 a month.
- After 6 months, the three invisible locations enter the local pack for their neighbourhood queries: +30 appointments a month on average across the group.
- With an average value of EUR 180 per first visit (exam, cleaning, X-rays), that is EUR 5,400 a month, or EUR 64,800 a year for EUR 20,900 invested in year one.

FAQ
How much does local SEO cost for a 6-practice dental group?
Expect EUR 3,000 to 6,000 for the 6 location pages, EUR 900 to 1,800 for the Google Business Profiles, then EUR 600 to 1,500 a month of ongoing work.
One site per practice or a single site?
A single site with one page per location is better in 90% of cases. It concentrates domain authority and costs 2 to 3 times less to maintain than 6 separate sites.
How quickly do results show?
First local pack appearances come within 6 to 12 weeks. The full effect on appointments is measured at 6 months.
Can we ask patients for Google reviews?
Yes, carefully: no incentives, no filtering and no reuse as testimonials on the site. A pace of 5 to 10 reviews per month per location is a healthy ballpark.
How do we measure the appointments generated?
Use a tracked booking link per location and distinct call numbers. Tracking costs EUR 300 to 900 to set up.
Let's scope your project. We audit each location's visibility, build your location pages and track the appointments generated, from EUR 3,000 for 6 pages and EUR 600 a month. Detailed quote within 48 h. WhatsApp +221 77 596 93 33.
