The practice's tracked local search phrases in the Semrush Position Tracking campaign (Canyon Country, CA), comparing July 31 → August 31, 2026. “Position” is where the practice ranks in Google's local results — the lower the number, the higher on the page — and the Change column shows month-over-month movement. Strong month locally: root canal canyon country returned to #1 and dentist in canyon country climbed from #9 to #4.

Source: Windsor / Google Analytics 4 organic sessions per page (August 2026). Bar widths are relative to the top page. The homepage, the canker-sore/abscess guide, and the fillings-cost article remain the strongest organic entry points, and the new August filling blog is already picking up traffic.

Source: Windsor / Google Analytics 4 — sessions by default channel group (August 2026). “Referral & Other” combines referral (4), AI assistant (6), and unassigned (1). Note: direct sessions jumped from 111 in July to 717 in August — an unusually large spike we're investigating (often a sign of untagged campaign, offline, or dark-social traffic); organic search remains the SEO focus.
