When someone Googles 'dentist near me' or 'dentist accepting new patients Brooklyn,' they click the Map Pack first — every time. DK Consulting Group of NY ranks NYC dental practices in the Google Maps Top 3 — so the new-patient inquiries land in your office, not a competitor's. Brooklyn-based, since 2013.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization for dental practices across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, and Long Island. We rank dentists in the Google Maps Top 3 — where 82% of new dental patients click first. Free video audit included.
Of every dental practice category in NYC, the #1 ranking signal is Google review volume + velocity. The dental offices ranking in the Map Pack typically have 300-800 reviews while their competitors sit at 40-80. But here's the catch: dental practices can't run review giveaways (it's a HIPAA-adjacent issue and violates Google's policies), so review velocity has to come from systematized request workflows. Most dentists either don't ask for reviews at all, or ask in ways that get reviews removed by Google. We fix that.
We rank dental practices across every common NYC specialty — general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, pediatric, orthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and emergency dental.
Highest-volume category. Map Pack ranking = steady new patients.

Highest-value patients. Top-3 Map Pack ranking is critical.

Niche search, lower competition, high margin.
Our dental SEO process — refined over 13 years working with NYC healthcare and professional service practices.
We pull up your Google Business Profile alongside your top 3 NYC dental competitors and show you exactly where you're losing rankings — categories, services, photos, review count, review response rate, and missing attributes.
We rebuild every GBP element specifically for dental — primary category (dentist), secondary categories per specialty (cosmetic dentist, pediatric dentist, orthodontist), service list per specialty, before/after photos, team photos, office tour photos, insurance attributes, language attributes.
Your name, address, and phone get fixed and built out across dental-specific directories — Healthgrades, Zocdoc, Vitals, RateMDs, WebMD, plus the 80+ general business directories Google uses to verify NAP consistency.
Dental practices have unique constraints (HIPAA-adjacent, no incentives allowed). We set up systematized review-request workflows that turn every completed appointment into a Google review opportunity — without violating Google's policies or HIPAA. Volume + velocity = Map Pack ranking.
DK Consulting has been steadily moving us up in rankings. The result has been a steady flow of new clients we wouldn't have had otherwise.
Since working with DK Consulting, our phone rings more than ever. They ranked us higher on Google and the calls and new clients followed.

Realistically 4-8 months for most NYC dental categories. The biggest variable is review count — dental practices with 200+ existing reviews rank significantly faster than practices with 30-50. We've seen pediatric and orthodontic specialties hit Top 3 in 3-5 months when review velocity is strong. General dentistry in Manhattan is the most competitive and takes 6-9 months.
Yes, if done correctly. You can ask any patient to leave a review — that doesn't disclose PHI. What you can't do is publicly respond to a review in a way that confirms someone is your patient or discloses anything about their treatment. We set up review-request workflows and response templates that stay 100% HIPAA-compliant and 100% Google-policy-compliant.
Yes — and the SEO strategy differs. Insurance-accepting practices need GBP attributes set correctly (we list every insurance you take so patients can filter on Google), while fee-for-service practices focus on cosmetic and high-value GBP signals. Both approaches rank — they just emphasize different categories and content.
Both. We've worked with single-chair Brooklyn practices, multi-doctor Manhattan groups, and 5-location dental chains across the boroughs. The strategy scales — single-doctor practices need foundational optimization and review velocity; multi-location groups need location-level GBP discipline so locations don't compete with each other.
We recommend $500-$1,000/month for foundational dental GBP optimization. For dental practices in competitive Manhattan or Brooklyn locations (cosmetic, Invisalign, implants), $1,500-$2,500/month is realistic when combined with paid search. The free audit identifies your exact starting point and what your top 3 competitors are spending.
Yes. Dental-specific directories (Zocdoc, Healthgrades, Vitals, RateMDs, WebMD) carry weight with both Google and prospective patients. We claim and optimize your listings, build out provider profiles, and ensure NAP consistency across all of them — which directly improves your Google Business Profile authority and Map Pack ranking.
