An established practice.
A well-earned reputation.
Absent from paid search
on every term that matters.

We reviewed how Birkbeck Dentistry appears across nine local search terms, from general enquiries through to your highest-value treatments. This page sets out what we found, and what it returns.

// 01 — WHAT WE FOUND

Nine searches. Four conclusions.

We searched the terms a prospective patient in Sidcup would actually use — general enquiries, and each of your core treatments — and recorded exactly who appeared in the paid results.

FINDING 01
No one has claimed "premium local dentist"
Every paid advertiser across these searches is either a discount-led national chain or a non-local group buying blanket geo-terms. None lead with reputation, tenure, or clinical quality — the positioning Birkbeck already has organically is unclaimed in paid search.
FINDING 02
One local competitor is already active
Ardent Sidcup Dental Clinic, on Halfway Street, is the only genuine local practice bidding — appearing on implant searches for both Sidcup and Bexley, and on Invisalign Sidcup. It is currently the sole local operator capturing this traffic.
FINDING 03
Competitor execution is inconsistent
Several paid placements are mistargeted — a dental-tourism advertisement appearing against a Chislehurst search, an implant-clinic advertisement appearing against a veneers query. The bar for a well-targeted campaign in this space is not high.
FINDING 04
Smile makeover searches carry no paid competition
"Smile makeover Sidcup" returned zero paid results. Birkbeck already ranks organically for this term — making it the lowest-cost, lowest-risk starting point to establish a track record before committing further budget to implants or Invisalign.

Set your own budget and
average case value.

Adjust the sliders to reflect your own assumptions. The proposed structure is a £950/month retainer plus a success fee per case won.

How this model works: Ad spend converts to clicks, clicks to enquiries (3.2%), enquiries to booked consultations (60%), and consultations to completed cases (35%). Spend is weighted toward the uncontested terms first — smile makeover and general enquiries — with implants and Invisalign phased in as budget and proof allow.

Smile makeover first.
Implants and Invisalign as it proves out.

Select a scenario to see cumulative net return build across the year. Spend is weighted toward the uncontested terms early, with the more contested treatment terms phased in once tracking and conversion data are established.
