“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

Opulent Dental is a family, cosmetic and sedation dental practice in Christiansburg, Virginia, and part of the Opulent group of practices in the New River and Roanoke valleys.

The two searches that matter

General dentistry lives on local searches: "dentist Christiansburg", "dental offices near me", "teeth cleaning near me". Implant and cosmetic cases, the high-value work, start earlier, with research: what implants cost, what the side effects are, whether they are worth it. A practice that shows up for both catches patients at both ends of the decision.

What we do

SEO and Google Business Profile management as part of the Opulent group engagement: location pages for Christiansburg and the surrounding towns such as Shawsville, service pages for cosmetic, sedation and implant dentistry, patient-education content on implants, and an active, complete Business Profile.

Google Business Profile, managed in Angryturtle

Since Ichelon began managing the Google Business Profile for Opulent Dental, 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 held steady through 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

  1. Neighbouring towns are real markets. Ranking for "Shawsville dentist" reaches patients a Christiansburg-only strategy would miss.
  2. Implant research is the top of a high-value funnel. Honest answers about side effects and cost build the trust that brings consultations.
  3. Near-me searches reward practices that are complete and consistent everywhere Google looks.

What's next

Extending the implant work from side-effect questions to the implant-cost searches patients make before a consultation.
