Why Google Maps Ranking Drives 70% of New Patient Walk-Ins
When a patient searches "dentist near me" or "best root canal in Pune", Google shows the top 3 clinics with the highest rating and most recent reviews (the Local 3-Pack).
Having 4.8+ stars with 100+ authentic reviews guarantees a steady stream of new patient inquiries every week.
