Searching Chicago

How to scope Chicago

Chicago is a large metro, and Google Maps only returns a limited number of listings per search. Split it into districts or neighbourhoods and run each as its own search so smaller operators are not crowded out by the best-known names.

Search by city or ZIP code. Suburbs are often separate municipalities with their own listings, so run them as separate searches instead of widening one large area.

Qualification

Which dentists to contact first

Most practices are owner-operated, so the dentist or a practice manager makes the marketing decision. A single new patient is worth years of repeat visits, which is why practices will pay for a fix that demonstrably brings bookings.

• Independent or small-group practice, not a corporate chain where marketing is run centrally.
• Rating of 4.0 or higher, showing patients like the practice, but a thin review count compared with nearby competitors.
• No online booking link on the Google Business Profile or the website homepage.
• Website that is slow or awkward on a phone, or that has no dedicated pages for high-value treatments such as implants or orthodontics.

Outreach

What to pitch a dentist

• Booking friction

  Point out that a patient searching after hours has no way to book, and show what a booking link on the profile would look like.

• Review gap

  Compare their review count with a named practice nearby and offer a simple review-request flow.

• Missing treatment pages

  Name the high-value treatment they offer but have no page for, so they are invisible for that search.
