How to Use this Keyword List

We’ve done the work of dentist-specific keyword research for you, so now you’ve just got to use this list to help inform your content strategy and understanding how to optimize your website and Google My Business profile.

1. Pick your keyword groups.
   The first thing to do is to pick the keyword groups that are relevant to your dental clinic. For example, if you don’t offer biolase laser services, don’t include that group.
2. Use the groups to create an ideal website sitemap.
   Each group should ideally have its own service page on your website. You should also consider how to categorize blog posts on these topics. Your service pages are for low-funnel, high-intent keywords, while your blog posts are educational and fact-based for higher-funnel, lower-intent to buy.
3. Create SEO content templates.
   SEO Content Templates provide specific recommendations and directives for creating new content on your website with the purpose of improving your SEO and showing up in search results. This is where we break down exactly what information you need on each of your pages to fulfill the intention of the keywords we are targeting.
4. Continue to make improvements to content.
   SEO is never over. Keep improving your content and adding new, helpful content to help fulfill the intentions of the searchers, who are your potential customers.

If you want to take your SEO and content strategy to the next level, make sure to use the SEMRush Export sheet data (screenshot below). In the “SERP Features” column you can see which keywords show up in the Local Pack, for example. These are the keywords you’ll want to target for your local dentist office. You can also see features like:

• Image Pack

• People Also Ask

These can give you direction on what kind of content you need to have on the page you are optimizing content for.
