Reporting period: August 1–31, 2026
Here's the work the Dentist Nerds team completed for Saddleback Valley Endodontics in August — with links so you can review each item directly.
The keywords tracked in the practice's Semrush campaign for Laguna Hills, as of August 31, 2026, sorted best position first. Six of the eight sit in the top three — including root canal laguna hills and endodontics laguna hills holding #1, and root resorption in laguna hills climbing five places to #1. A status of Building means the keyword dropped more than 12 positions or isn't ranking well yet — that's where we're focusing next.

Source: Semrush position tracking, campaign launched August 17, 2026 (Laguna Hills, desktop). Because this is the campaign's first month, the Change column shows movement from each keyword's first recorded position to August 31 rather than a full month-over-month comparison.
Where the practice shows up on Google Maps across the local grid. Each circle is a geographic search point — greener is better, the blue pin is the office. Click any circle to see the rank at that point.
The tracking grid now runs on the practice's actual specialties rather than broad “dentist” searches. The result is a near-perfect map: #1 at 119 of 121 points for endodontist in laguna hills, and full-grid coverage on all three keywords.
Source: Local Falcon campaign “Saddleback Valley Endodontics” — 11×11 grid, 3 mile radius, scanned September 4, 2026. This is the campaign's most recent run; the keyword set was changed from general-dentist terms after the August baseline, so these three keywords have no August comparison yet. SoLV (Share of Local Voice) weights top-three visibility, which is why root canal in laguna hills reads low despite ranking at every point.
Top pages by organic visits in August. These are the pages doing the heavy lifting for the practice — note that root resorption, root canal retreatment and cracked teeth are all pulling organic traffic, which is exactly the specialist work the practice wants to be found for.
