Case Study

Capturing 81% More ‘Dental Implant’ Searches:

How Dr. Lampee’s Teeth in 24 Broke Through a Crowded Market

Executive Summary

In a saturated Portland dental market, Dr. Lampee’s practice struggled to gain visibility for high-volume generic searches like “dental implant Portland.” Although his “Teeth in 24” service was strong, prospective patients searching general terms weren’t finding him.

To solve this, Dr. Lampee partnered with Choice OMG to overhaul his digital presence. The team consolidated thin, scattered implant pages into a single authoritative pillar, implemented structured schema markup, and reinforced internal linking to the consult funnel.

Within 12 months, organic impressions for “dental implant” soared from 27,500 to 49,800 (+81%), clicks rose from 28 to 45 (+61%), and average search position nudged from 34.4 to 33.6—shifting visibility to more transactional queries. These gains translated directly into consult submissions and over $200K in incremental Q1 2025 revenue from implant procedures.

The Challenge

Generic queries like “dental implant Portland” represent a major awareness funnel—yet Dr. Lampee’s site wasn’t capturing that traffic. While “Teeth in 24” pages were performing, generic leads landed on outdated or fragmented content, or worse, competitor websites.

Low Organic Visibility:

Key implant pages appeared on pages 3–4 of search results (positions 34–36).

Thin, Dispersed Content:

Multiple legacy URLs (e.g., /implant-dentistry/, /dental-implants-beaverton/) lacked depth and cross-linking, diluting search authority.

Missed Lead Opportunities

Qualified traffic bypassed the site entirely, unaware of Dr. Lampee’s distinctive in-house implant solution.

Merged eight outdated implant-related pages into a single, comprehensive pillar at /dental-implant/, structured for both user clarity and crawlability.

D. Technical Improvements

Image Compression & Lazy Loading:

Compressed the hero banner image to 250 KB and lazy-loaded diagrams and testimonials to improve page load times.

Speed Metrics:

Achieved a mobile first contentful paint (FCP) of 1.3 sec—down from 2.7 sec—improving user experience and SEO signals.

Guided paths from /dental-implant//free-implant-consult//teeth-in-24/ captured patients across the search journey—from awareness to booking.

Local Signals & Review Keywords Build Credibility

Updating GMB with implant-relevant visuals and reviews containing “dental implant” helped build local trust and improve performance for “[city] implant” queries.

Even Small Ranking Gains Matter in Competitive Niches

Though the average ranking improved just 0.8 positions, the page began ranking for higher-value, transactional keywords—fueling consult submissions and bookings.
