Iron Pixel Drives 35 New Patients Per Month for a Family Dental Practice
A family dental practice was losing new patients to competitors with better online visibility. After a full website rebuild, Google Maps optimization, and AI-ready schema implementation, they now receive 35+ new patient inquiries every month - with multiple patients citing Google's AI Overview as how they found the practice.
The Challenge
A Busy Practice With an Invisible Online Presence
Dr. Michelle had been running a thriving family dental practice for over a decade, but her website was a decade old to match. It loaded slowly on mobile, had no service-specific pages, and wasn't structured in a way Google could parse and trust. While she relied on word-of-mouth, a new dental group opened nearby with a polished online presence - and started capturing all the high-intent "dentist near me" searches.
Her Google Business Profile had fewer than 20 reviews, inconsistent NAP data across directories, and no posts or photos. She wasn't showing up in the Maps Pack for her most valuable searches: "family dentist," "teeth cleaning near me," or "emergency dentist."
- Outdated, slow, non-mobile-optimized website
- No structured data or FAQ schema
- Fewer than 20 Google reviews
- Invisible on Google Maps for high-intent searches
- No AI search visibility (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews)
The Solution
A Complete Digital Overhaul Built for Patient Acquisition
New Patient-First Website
Custom site with dedicated pages for each service (cleanings, crowns, implants, emergency care) - each page structured for search intent and conversion.
Dentist + MedicalBusiness Schema
Implemented full JSON-LD markup including MedicalBusiness, Service, and FAQPage schema so Google and AI engines understand the practice's specialties.
Google Business Profile Rebuild
Rewrote the GBP description, added 14 service categories, uploaded professional photos, and launched a weekly post cadence targeting local keywords.
Review Generation System
Set up a post-appointment review request workflow. The practice went from 18 to 74 Google reviews within 4 months.
AI Visibility Optimization
Structured FAQ content and authoritative service pages to get cited in Google AI Overviews for 'best family dentist' and 'emergency dentist near me' queries.

Client Testimonial
"We were getting almost no new patients from Google. Iron Pixel rebuilt our website from scratch, got us into the top 3 on Google Maps, and now we're fielding 30-35 new patient inquiries every single month. Several patients specifically mentioned finding us through Google's AI Overview - that's something I never expected."
