How local results work
Three things decide who appears in the map pack
Relevance
Does your profile and website clearly say you are an orthodontist offering the treatment searched for? Category and service details carry most of the weight.
Distance
How close is your office to the person searching? You cannot move the office, but you can make sure every nearby area knows you serve it.
Prominence
Reviews, their recency, mentions on other local sites and the strength of your website all signal that a practice is established and trusted.

Multi-location practices
Each office earns its own visibility
Two or more locations need separate profiles, separate pages and a structure that keeps them from competing with each other.
- One verified profile per office with its own phone number and hours
- A location page per office with directions, parking and the team who work there
- Internal links that tell Google which page belongs to which area
- Reviews requested for the office the patient actually visited
FAQ
Local SEO questions
How long does local SEO take for an orthodontist?
Profile corrections can show within weeks. Building review momentum and area relevance usually takes three to six months, depending on how competitive your area is.
Should we create a page for every nearby town?
Only where the page offers something specific, such as the schools you work with, travel time or patients’ common questions from that area. Dozens of near-identical city pages can hurt more than they help.
We share a building with a general dentist. Is that a problem?
It can cause confusion in listings. We make sure your profile, suite number and category are distinct so the two businesses are not merged or filtered.
Do reviews really affect map rankings?
Yes. Rating, number and recency of reviews are among the strongest prominence signals, alongside the content of the reviews themselves.
