About the Client

Art Family Dental — operating under shahdentistry.com — is a full-service dental practice led by Dr. Aarti Shah, DDS, located at 17613 Pioneer Blvd, Artesia, CA 90701. The practice serves patients across Artesia, Cerritos, Long Beach, Lakewood, Bellflower, Norwalk, and Cypress with a comprehensive menu of dental services including cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, orthodontics (Braces & Invisalign), and dental implants.

Dr. Shah built a reputation for gentle, anxiety-friendly care in a modern, newly remodeled office. The practice accepts major insurance (Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Blue Cross, UnitedHealthcare, MetLife) and offers CareCredit and in-house financing. Despite excellent clinical outcomes and a loyal patient base, implant case volume was far below the practice's capacity — primarily because patients searching online for dental implants in surrounding cities weren't finding Art Family Dental.

The Challenge

When Dr. Shah came to RankingXperts, the practice had a beautiful, modern website — but it was invisible for the most valuable searches. "Dental implants Cerritos," "dental implants Long Beach," "implant dentist near me Artesia" — none of these were driving traffic or calls. The website had a single services page mentioning implants rather than dedicated, city-specific implant pages that could rank and convert.

  • Ranking on page 3–4 for "dental implants Artesia CA" — the practice's home city
  • No city-specific implant landing pages for Cerritos, Long Beach, Lakewood, Bellflower, Norwalk, or Cypress
  • Website missing dental-specific schema markup (DentistOffice, MedicalProcedure, FAQPage)
  • Page load time of 4.6 seconds — failing Core Web Vitals on mobile
  • Zero AI visibility — not cited when patients asked Google AI or ChatGPT for implant dentists in the Artesia/Cerritos area
  • Implant content buried inside a generic services page — no patient education, no pricing guidance, no financing information
  • Review count insufficient relative to competitors in the LA County market

Our Solution

Phase 1: Technical SEO Foundation

We started with a full technical audit of shahdentistry.com. Page speed was improved from 4.6s to 1.0s through image optimization, caching implementation, and code cleanup. Core Web Vitals moved from "Needs Improvement" to "Good" across all metrics. We then implemented comprehensive dental-specific schema markup across the site.

  • Page speed: 4.6s → 1.0s (Core Web Vitals: all green)
  • Schema implemented: DentistOffice, MedicalProcedure, FAQPage, Review, BreadcrumbList
  • Fixed 18 crawl errors and 3 broken redirect chains
  • Mobile-first optimization — 70%+ of dental searches happen on mobile

Phase 2: City-Specific Implant Landing Pages

We created dedicated, SEO-optimized dental implant pages for each of Dr. Shah's service cities — Artesia, Cerritos, Long Beach, Lakewood, Bellflower, and Norwalk. Each page was written specifically for that city's patients, with local references, city-specific keywords, and unique content (not duplicate pages). These pages now intercept implant searches from across LA County.

  • 7 new city-specific dental implant landing pages
  • Each page: 1,200+ words of unique, medically accurate implant content
  • City-specific schema and local keyword targeting
  • Patient trust elements: Dr. Shah credentials, insurance lists, financing options

Phase 3: Patient Education Content Hub

We built an implant patient education hub — covering candidacy, the procedure step-by-step, recovery timeline, cost & financing (including CareCredit), All-on-4 vs. traditional implants, and aftercare guides. This content positions Dr. Shah as the trusted authority and pre-educates patients before their consultation, dramatically improving case acceptance.

Phase 4: AI Search & AEO Optimization

We structured implant content specifically to be cited by AI platforms — FAQ clusters, structured Q&A content, and entity optimization building Dr. Shah's brand as the recognized implant authority in the Artesia/South Bay area. Within 90 days, the practice began appearing in Google AI Overviews for key implant queries.

Phase 5: Review Generation & GBP

We optimized the Google Business Profile for both implant-specific keywords and all service cities. An automated post-visit review request system was deployed — patients receive a personalized SMS and email after appointments, driving a steady increase in verified Google reviews from real patients across all service cities.

"We have a beautiful office and Dr. Shah is an excellent clinician — but patients in Cerritos or Long Beach just weren't finding us. After RankingXperts built our implant pages and optimized everything, patients are now calling us from all over LA County specifically asking for implants. The quality of the patients coming in is completely different — they already understand the procedure and they're ready to schedule."

Implant consultation requests increased substantially, with patients arriving pre-educated from the content hub — resulting in significantly higher case acceptance rates compared to walk-in inquiries.
