A general dentistry practice with 15 years of experience had a website that hadn’t been updated in 4 years. They ranked on page 3 for their primary keyword “dentist near me” and weren’t appearing in the local pack for any service keywords. New patient acquisition had plateaued despite strong word-of-mouth reputation.
