Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

Most orthodontic practices begin seeing improved rankings within 3-6 months. SEO is a long-term investment that builds momentum over time, with the best results typically appearing after 6-12 months of consistent optimization.

What's the difference between SEO and paid advertising?

Paid ads appear at the top of search results as long as you're paying for them. SEO helps your practice appear in organic search results, building sustainable visibility that continues to bring in patients without ongoing ad costs.

Do you work with orthodontists throughout Ontario?

Yes! While we're based in the Halton Hills area, we provide SEO services to orthodontic practices throughout Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions.

How do you measure success?

We track multiple metrics including Google rankings for target keywords, website traffic, Google Business Profile views and actions, phone calls, appointment requests, and overall online visibility in your local area.

What makes orthodontist SEO different from general SEO?

Orthodontist SEO requires understanding specific treatment types (braces, Invisalign, retainers), patient demographics (pediatric vs. adult), local competition, healthcare marketing regulations, and the patient decision-making process for orthodontic care.
