Website audit for dentists

Patients compare clinics on their phones before they book. Find out whether your site loads fast, feels trustworthy and makes booking easy for everyone.

What matters most for dental websites

  1. Priority 1: Accessibility

    Your patients include older people and people with disabilities. If they can't read the page or use the booking form, they'll call someone else.

  2. Priority 2: Mobile

    Most patients search on their phone. Booking buttons and phone numbers need to be easy to tap.

  3. Priority 3: SEO (local)

    Showing up for "dentist near me" depends on clear service pages, your suburb and your Google Business Profile.

  4. Priority 4: Security

    Patients share personal details through your forms. A "Not secure" warning ends the visit before it starts.

Questions from dental clinics

Our website was built by a dental marketing agency. Should it be fine?

Not necessarily. Agency sites often look great but can be slow or miss accessibility basics. A quick scan tells you whether it's doing its job.

Does accessibility really matter for a clinic?

Yes. Many patients have low vision, hearing loss or other disabilities, and ageing eyes struggle with pale text. If your booking form doesn't work with a screen reader, some patients simply can't book.

Will this check our online booking system?

It checks the pages on your own website. If your booking system is embedded from another company, we can't test inside it, but we'll still flag problems with the page around it.

Can we share the report with our agency?

Yes. Email it to yourself from the report page and forward it on. It gives them a clear list of what to fix and in what order.
