Summary
September was the practice's strongest month in Google so far. Visits from Google search rose by over 40% on August, and the practice now appears on page one for many more local searches, including all three of the treatments you asked us to focus on.
Emergency appointments are the stand-out: "emergency dentist kidderminster" is now near the top of Google, and on Google Maps the practice shows in the top three across a much larger part of town than in July. The two new pages (composite bonding and implant costs) are already being shown in Google.
Paid ads brought in more enquiries for less: the cost of each Google Ads enquiry fell after we blocked searches that were never going to book, and the whitening offer on Facebook and Instagram did well.
