Why orthodontists need specialized GMB

The orthodontists Map Pack is winnable - if you know how it works.

Customer value: $3,000-$8,000 treatment plans, $100-$250 consultation and retention visits. That is why every additional Map Pack lead matters for orthodontists.

How customers search: 'orthodontist near me', 'Invisalign [city]', 'braces for teens', 'adult orthodontist'.

Competitive landscape: High-trust specialty category. Before/after galleries, consultation CTAs, and parent-friendly review language convert Map Pack traffic.

Seasonal patterns: Back-to-school consultation peaks, New Year adult treatment spikes, steady new-patient flow year-round.

What we measure: Consultation bookings, treatment starts, multi-location call routing quality

Recommended GBP categories

Primary: Orthodontist

Secondary (3-5):

  • Dentist
  • Cosmetic Dentist
  • Pediatric Dentist

Primary category drives 60%+ of which queries you appear for. We pick the most specific match Google offers in your category, not the broadest.

Review strategy

How we generate reviews for orthodontists

When to ask: After a positive consult or when treatment milestones (new smile photos) make patients proud to share.

Industry-specific sensitivities: Get photo consent. Avoid clinical promises in posts. Separate adult and teen treatment services clearly.

Velocity target: 5-10 new compliant reviews per month. We integrate request automation with your CRM, POS, or appointment software so every recent customer gets the ask.

We respond to every review within 24 hours - positive and negative - with industry-appropriate language that builds trust with future readers.

Photo strategy

What to photograph (and what NOT to)

Office exterior, consult rooms, team in scrubs, discreet before/after smile photos with consent, waiting-room branding.

We aim for 10+ fresh photos uploaded monthly - geo-tagged with EXIF metadata, categorized correctly into Interior/Exterior/Team/Products/At Work/Identity sections. Profiles with weekly photo cadence earn 35%+ more clicks than dormant ones.
