Manchester (UK)
Industry: Multi Location Dental Clinics
8 Months

What That Means Financially
Assumptions used (clearly stated):
Average first visit value:
£140New patient conversion:
85%71 − 38 = 33
Conservative value counted here: first visit only, no lifetime value.
+£0
£3,927 × 8 = £31,416
This is not a volume lead game.
It is a booked chair time game.
This excludes treatment plans, follow ups, and lifetime value.
It is intentionally conservative.
The Real Problem
The clinics were good, but the local intent capture was fragmented.- Locations competing against each other in search
- Service pages too generic to win intent modifiers
- Weak local pack visibility on high value services
- Inconsistent NAP and citation footprint
- Reviews existed, but were not engineered as a conversion and ranking asset
- Users landed on the wrong location pages, causing drop off
Demand existed.
The system to capture it consistently did not.
Core Leverage
Multi location SEO is not "rank the website". It is:
Control which location ranks for which intent.
Dominate the local pack on the services that matter.
Route clicks into bookings without confusion.
The lever is allocation and control, not content volume.
