“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 Pediatric Dentistry treats children in Blacksburg, Virginia, and is part of the Opulent family of practices in the New River and Roanoke valleys. Blacksburg is a college town, so a steady stream of families are new to the area every year and choosing a dentist from scratch.

The opportunity

Parents research before they book. Questions like "what are dental sealants?" and "do kids need sealants?" are searched tens of thousands of times a month across the US. A practice that answers them clearly earns trust with local parents and signals expertise to Google for every pediatric dental search.

What we do

The Opulent group engages us for two service lines across its practices: SEO and Google Business Profile management. For Opulent Pediatric Dentistry, that means patient-education content written for parents, service and location pages for Blacksburg and Christiansburg, technical search health, and a Business Profile kept accurate, active and complete.

Google Business Profile, managed in Angryturtle

Since Ichelon began managing the Google Business Profile for Opulent Pediatric 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 sits in the local map pack 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. A local practice can win national informational searches if its answers are the clearest ones.
  2. Education content does local work too: parents who learn from the practice's explanation are more likely to book there.
  3. Group practices should give each location its own clear specialty and town, so the practices strengthen each other instead of competing.

What's next

Turning national visibility into local bookings: pushing the "pediatric dentist Blacksburg / Christiansburg" and emergency pediatric dentist searches further up page one.
