Where Macquarie Dental Started

Macquarie Dental competes in the Sydney CBD — one of Australia's most competitive dental markets. The practice needed visibility across branded, local, cosmetic, orthodontic, emergency, extraction, implant and root canal search terms, while supporting the site with broader educational content.

The campaign challenges:

  • Win high-value treatment searches — Invisalign cost, implants, veneers, bonding, root canal
  • Dominate brand and CBD location terms against entrenched competitors
  • Capture emergency and pain-driven demand across Sydney
  • Build cost-content authority for price-researching patients

What I Did To Turn It Around

A full-spectrum commercial campaign for a full-spectrum dental practice:

1. Treatment & Cost Keyword Architecture

Commercial keyword targeting mapped Invisalign, implant, veneer, bonding, root canal, emergency dentist and Sydney dentist searches to dedicated service and cost pages — capturing patients comparing prices and providers.

2. Local & CBD Dominance

Local SEO alignment for Sydney and Sydney CBD intent secured position-1 rankings for the practice's brand-plus-location terms (36-39% CTR).

3. Content That Ranks and Converts

Content optimisation for dental service and cost-related searches, supported by technical SEO, internal linking between service pages, blogs and high-intent landing pages, plus schema and UX improvements.

Honest Methodology — No Inflated Numbers

Because no comparison period was available, this case study deliberately does not claim percentage growth. Every figure comes directly from the practice's Google Search Console data, and estimated leads use a conservative 5% conversion rate on commercial clicks only. Informational traffic was reviewed but never counted toward the lead estimate.
