Reporting period: August 1–31, 2026
Here's the work the Dentist Nerds team completed for Marconi Dental Group in August — with links so you can review each item directly.
Keywords tracked in the practice's Semrush Position Tracking campaign (Carmichael, CA), sorted best position first. The headline is strong: the practice holds #1–#2 for every core “dentist in Carmichael” search, including the high-volume “dentist near me” at #2. A status of Building means the keyword dropped more than 12 positions or isn't ranking well yet — that's where the next month's work goes.

Top pages by organic visits in August. These are the pages doing the heavy lifting for the practice — note how hard the team pages and the numbing/anaesthetic blog posts are working.
Source: Windsor / Google Analytics 4 organic sessions per page. Bar widths are relative to the top page. Page totals sum higher than the 382 monthly organic sessions because a visit that touches several pages is counted on each.
How visitors found the website in August, broken down by channel. A healthy mix with strong organic search is what we're building toward.
Total sessions this month: 1,929
Source: Windsor / Google Analytics 4 — sessions by default channel group. Direct is carrying an unusually large share this month; a chunk of that is normally attributable traffic arriving untagged, so adding campaign tagging to the Google Business Profile and directory links is on our list — it will move real credit out of Direct and into the channels earning it.
Activity on the Google Business listing this month and the prior 5 months — calls, web clicks, reviews, and how often the profile showed up in Search and Maps.
