Frequently Asked Questions — Dental SEO

What is the Google Maps 3-Pack for dental clinics?

The Google Maps 3-Pack is the block of three local business listings that appears at the top of Google Search results when someone searches for a nearby service like 'dentist near me' or 'dental clinic [suburb]'. Appearing in the 3-Pack generates a disproportionate share of clicks — typically 44–61% of all local search clicks. Luminara Digital's dental SEO service is specifically designed to get dental clinics into the 3-Pack.

Does dental SEO include managing Google reviews?

Luminara Digital's dental SEO service includes Google Business Profile management, which covers responding to reviews and providing a review generation strategy. Actively soliciting reviews in exchange for discounts or gifts is against Google's policies and AHPRA guidelines — our approach focuses on ethical review velocity through patient experience optimisation.
