How Dental Clinic Dominated Spruce Grove Search Rankings and Increased Patient Bookings by 347% in Just 4 Months - Case Study

When Dental Clinic approached us in January 2025, they were virtually invisible in Spruce Grove's local search results despite offering exceptional dental and orthodontic services to the community. Through our comprehensive Local Google Map SEO service on Legiit, we transformed their online presence, achieving a 347% increase in patient bookings and securing top-3 positions for all major Spruce Grove dental keywords within just 4 months. This case study reveals the exact strategies we implemented to help Dental Clinic dominate their local market and attract a steady stream of new patients.

The Challenge: Invisible in Spruce Grove Local Search

Dental Clinic faced several critical challenges that were limiting their growth in the competitive Spruce Grove market:

Zero Local Visibility

• Not appearing in Google's "3-pack" for crucial searches like "dentist spruce grove" or "spruce grove dental"
• Competitors dominated all high-intent keywords including "best dentist in spruce grove" and "dental clinic spruce grove"
• Missing out on 78% of local search traffic from Spruce Grove residents searching for dental services

Outdated Google Business Profile

• Incomplete business information
• No regular posts or updates
• Only 12 reviews with a 3.8-star average
• Zero optimization for local keywords

Weak Local SEO Foundation

• No schema markup implementation
• Missing NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency across directories
• Zero local citations from authoritative sources
• No geo-targeted content strategy
  

Lost Revenue Opportunities

• Estimated 150+ potential Spruce Grove patients per month going to competitors
• Average patient lifetime value of $3,500 being lost
• Monthly revenue loss exceeding $52,500
• Orthodontic services completely invisible despite high demand in Spruce Grove
  

"We knew Spruce Grove residents were searching for dental services online, but they simply couldn't find us. Our phone barely rang, and new patient bookings were at an all-time low," explained Dr. Sarah Chen, owner of Dental Clinic.

Client Testimonial

"The results have been nothing short of extraordinary. We went from being invisible in Spruce Grove searches to having patients tell us they found us at the top of Google when searching for 'Spruce Grove dentist'. Our appointment book is fuller than it's been in years, and we're actually having to hire additional staff to handle the increased patient load. The best part? We're now the go-to dental clinic in Spruce Grove for orthodontics, something we couldn't achieve before this campaign."
