Reporting period: August 1–31, 2026
Here's the work the Dentist Nerds team completed for Elite Dentistry in August — with links so you can review each item directly.
Priority keywords from the practice's Semrush position tracking, with each term's position on August 31, 2026 and the change since July 31. August was the strongest month yet — every tracked term now sits inside the top 17, with big jumps for "dentist near me" (▲19), "dentist in rancho santa margarita" (▲18) and "dentist in rsm" (▲15). Lower positions are better; the first few spots capture most of the clicks.
