Digital smile design, teeth in a day, and no Spanish in South Miami

The most technically advanced service list in the Florida book had no content layer to be found through and no Spanish path in a market that demands one. Cosmetic and full-arch patients research for weeks before they call — that research now runs through AI assistants for 47% of patients, and 36% say it changed their final choice. A practice with no blog, no answer content and no third-party mention base is invisible during exactly the phase where a $15,000 full-arch decision gets made.

Audited September 2026: Online booking, before/after gallery, an unusually deep treatment page set. No blog. No financing or membership page. No Spanish version — in South Miami, running a cosmetic and full-arch case mix.

Days 0–30: Citation baseline across four assistants, GBP rebuild, page architecture and entity cleanup. Built page depth against the questions patients actually ask, not the treatments the practice sells — symptoms and decisions, because that is what gets cited. Held the Local Pack with a proper GBP rebuild: local health queries return an AI Overview only about 11% of the time against 93% for conditions and symptoms, so the money keywords are still a pack fight.

Days 0–30 — Citation baseline across four assistants, GBP rebuild, page architecture and entity cleanup. Days 31–90 — Symptom and decision content shipped, review engine live, first off-site mention wave. Days 91–180 — Mention velocity sustained, citation rate compounds, freshness cycle running on clinical and service pages. Days 0–30 — Channel audit, proof-layer content system built, photo authorisations collected. Days 31–90 — Reels-first cadence running; consultation log tagged to social source. Days 91–180 — Proof base compounds into branded search and consultation conversion.

The programme was run against four targets: AI assistant mention rate from 10% to 29% (+19 pts); Local Pack top-3 coverage on '[treatment] near me' from 26% to 50% (+92%); Non-branded organic new-patient enquiries from index 100 to index 150 (+50%); Instagram engagement rate from 0.6% to 1.9% (+1.3 pts). These are the targets the work was set and measured against, derived from the published category benchmarks cited on this page — not figures reported back from Miami Best Dental's systems. Measured results replace them here as reporting is reconciled.

No, and any agency that guarantees a number is selling you something. Every benchmark on this page is published by a named third party with a live source link, and every figure we report is reconcilable against the raw exports listed under proof — the ad platform change history, the call recordings, and the client-side booking or policy export. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and it is the standard you should hold any agency to.

Miami Best Dental runs at the Authority tier — $5,000/mo, covering AI SEO and Social. Tier is set by the number of markets, the number of service lines and the reporting cadence, not by hours. Scope is agreed before anything is committed.
