Reporting period: August 1–31, 2026
Here's the work the Dentist Nerds team completed for Foothill Ranch Dentistry in August — with links so you can review each item directly.
The practice's priority local keywords in Semrush, showing each term's Google position on August 31, 2026 and the change since July 31. Lower positions are better — the first few spots capture most of the clicks. Foothill Ranch continues to own the local map: 9 of these priority terms sit at #1–#3, dental implants in foothill ranch climbed into the top 5, and domain-wide the site now ranks for 339 keywords (up from 275 in July). Improving means the term moved up meaningfully; Stable means it held its position.
