Client

PeakSmile Dental Clinic (Lekki, Lagos)

Date

March, 2026

THE PROBLEM

They offered solid services, but Google Search and Maps weren’t sending consistent calls.

People were searching:

  • dentist in Lekki
  • dental clinic near me
  • teeth cleaning Lekki
  • braces clinic Lagos

…and PeakSmile wasn’t showing up consistently on Maps, and the website didn’t have strong service pages to rank for buyer-intent searches.

BEFORE (BASELINE) — LAST 30 DAYS

  • Google Business Profile calls: 28
  • Direction requests: 41
  • Website clicks from Maps/Search: 54
  • Enquiries attributed to Search/Maps: 12/month
  • Reviews: 14 (no steady review routine)

What was BROKEN:

  • No strong “money pages” (service pages built to rank + convert)
  • Weak internal linking (Google couldn’t tell what to prioritize)
  • Google Business Profile wasn’t optimized (services, categories, photos, updates)
  • Local trust signals were weak (review velocity + NAP consistency)
  • Location relevance wasn’t clear across key pages
  • No structured FAQs to capture high-intent questions (LLM SEO clarity was missing)

What NEULEAD CHANGED

Built/optimized money pages
Created conversion-focused service pages (clear offer, proof blocks, FAQs, strong CTAs).

Fixed internal linking
Homepage → Services → Service pages, plus supporting links so Google understands priority.

Optimized Google Business Profile
Correct categories, services, description, photos plan, posts plan, and Q&A prompts.

Strengthened local trust signals
NAP consistency + review request system + basic citation plan.

Added LLM SEO structure
FAQs, entity clarity (who/where/what), and “how it works” sections so AI + humans understand the business fast.

RESULT

WITHIN 60 DAYS

  • Google Business Profile calls: 45 (up 61%)
  • Direction requests: 73 (up 78%)
  • Website clicks from Maps/Search: 97 (up 80%)
  • Inbound enquiries from Search/Maps: 22/month (up from 12/month)
  • Reviews: 31 (up from 14, with a consistent routine)

WHY THIS WORKED

Local SEO didn’t improve because we “posted more.” Local SEO improved because the system finally made sense.

When Google understands what you do, where you do it, and customers trust what they see, calls follow. That’s the point of Local SEO: visibility + confidence + action.
