SEO & AEO for Cosmetic Dentistry Practices
Get found by patients searching for veneers, Invisalign, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers.
Cosmetic dentistry patients research extensively before committing to treatment – nearly 60% of US adults search for health information online.[1] They compare providers, look at before/after photos, and read reviews. Your search visibility directly impacts how many consultations you book.
Cosmetic dentistry represents a unique marketing challenge: patients are making significant investments in their appearance and want to choose the right provider. Research shows negative reviews significantly decrease patient selection likelihood,[2] and unlike emergency dental care, cosmetic procedures are elective, giving patients time to research extensively. They compare portfolios, read reviews, research procedures, and often consult multiple dentists before committing.
The patients you want to attract are doing their homework. They're searching "how much do veneers cost," "Invisalign vs. braces for adults," and "best cosmetic dentist near me." Google confirms that responding to reviews helps business visibility.[3] Your digital presence must capture them at every stage of this research journey – from early curiosity to final provider selection.

Guide
Medical schema markup
Schema markup is a structured data vocabulary that helps search engines understand your content beyond the words on the page.[google-structured-data] For healthcare practices, medical schema types communicate your services, provider credentials, treatment details, and clinical expertise in a format that both search engines and AI systems can reliably parse and cite.[schema-medical-types]
Guide
Local SEO for doctors
Local SEO focuses on improving visibility for location-based searches. For medical practices, this means appearing when patients search for "orthopedic surgeon near me" or "best dermatologist in [city]."[google-local-ranking]
Guide
Patient reviews and reputation management
Patient reviews significantly influence both search rankings and patient decisions. Google explicitly states that "review count and review score factor into local search ranking,"[google-local-ranking] making online reputation management essential for attracting new patients while maintaining trust.
Common challenges
Problems that practices in this specialty commonly face.
Common Problem
Why Great Reviews Aren't Improving Your Rankings
You've worked hard to earn five-star reviews. Patients love you. But when someone searches for your specialty in your area, you're nowhere to be found. The frustrating truth is that reviews matter for local rankings, but they're not the only factor – and focusing on reviews alone while neglecting other signals can leave you invisible.
Common Problem
Why Your Practice Ranks Well But Phones Aren't Ringing
Your website shows up on Google. Your SEO reports look healthy. But the phones aren't ringing like they used to. You're not imagining it – something fundamental has changed in how patients find and choose healthcare providers.
