Four service lines. Four ways patients search.

An implant patient and a family looking for an in-network dentist look for you in completely different ways. We track each one separately.

Dental implants

Researched for months, compared on price.

Implant patients search long before they book, compare practices and financing, and look for the dentist’s own cases. It’s the most expensive click in local dentistry.

FAQ

Questions dental practices ask us.

Do the chains show up in the same searches as us?

Often, especially in the ads. On the map around your office, on searches for your dentists by name and on specific treatments, the results are far more open. The appeario Audit shows where you stand on each.

Do you run implant ads?

Yes, if you want more implant cases. At $20–38 a click, we agree with you up front on the budget and on where the clicks land.

Do you work with orthodontists?

Yes. Parents, referrals from general dentists and free consults make it a different search picture from general dentistry, and we track it separately.

How do you handle review replies and HIPAA?

Every reply follows a protocol you approve up front: it never confirms that the reviewer is a patient or mentions their care, and it moves specifics offline. Replies go out within 24 hours; anything under 3 stars or sensitive goes to you first.

What does it cost?

The appeario Audit is free. Paid Search + Reviews starts at $890/month with no minimum term. Visibility Projects — treatment pages, doctor profiles, schema — start at $1,490 one-time.
