Reporting period: August 1–August 31, 2026
Here's the work the Dentist Nerds team completed for Muse Dental Studio in August — publishing fresh blog content, expanding off-page authority with new local citations, maintaining the site's technical health, and keeping every performance signal tracked and verified.
Four new posts published this month — one per week — building topical authority and answering the questions Houston patients are searching, from Invisalign vs. Fastbraces to easing dental anxiety.
Eleven new citations and directory listings went live this month, strengthening the practice's local authority and keeping its name, address, and phone consistent across the web.
The practice's 14 target Houston keywords tracked in Semrush Position Tracking (local search volume), as of September 4, 2026. This campaign is new, so all 14 are still in the early Building stage — teeth whitening houston is the first to appear in Google's results at #49, with the rest set to follow as the content, backlink, and local-SEO work in this report compounds.
