“They were able to get all my ideas and work with me over a period of three to four months and create this amazing website. It's super customized, very modern, and it incorporates all the elements that I had wanted — the patient portal, nice pictures, a very interactive website, patient reviews. I would highly recommend their company to anyone who wants to make an excellent website.”
The practice
Mill Mountain Dentistry by Opulent Dental serves families in Roanoke, Virginia, the largest city in the region, drawing patients from a wide surrounding area. It has earned an excellent reputation with local patients, reflected in its Google reviews. That reputation is the practice's own; our job is to make sure the patients searching nearby see it.
Where the demand is
Many dental practices do not accept Medicaid, and adult Medicaid dental coverage is a frequent source of confusion. Patients who have it search very specifically: "dentist that accepts adult Medicaid Roanoke". Parents search for the best kids' dentist in town. These are high-intent searches that many practices ignore.
What we do
SEO and Google Business Profile management as part of the Opulent group engagement. For Mill Mountain, that means making the practice's insurance and Medicaid information, children's services and location unmistakably clear to both patients and search engines.
What we found when we studied 2,318 US dental practices on Google
Patients praise the care and the people. Where they push back is the treatment-plan conversation: upselling is the one review theme where complaints dominate.

Google Business Profile, managed in Angryturtle
Since Ichelon began managing the Google Business Profile for Mill Mountain Dentistry, the profile has been actively optimized: categories and services tightened, Google Posts kept current, photos and profile details maintained, and every review responded to. Calls from the profile rose steadily over the engagement. It now shows on page one for its main searches. The profile is more complete and better defended against listing risks than at the start.
The profile is managed in Angryturtle, our Google Business Profile platform, which tracks profile health, listing risks, reviews and local rankings week by week. Reviewer names and review text are never used in our reporting.
What other practices can take from this
- Serve the searches others ignore. Clear Medicaid information turns an overlooked question into first place.
- Specific beats generic. "Best pediatric dentist Roanoke" is winnable sooner than "dentist Roanoke".
- A strong review profile is an asset search work should amplify, not replace.
What's next
Being honest about the gap: much of the practice's search traffic is still people searching its name, and broader terms like "dentist Roanoke" sit lower on the page. That is the focus for the next quarter.
