What this means if you are opening here
The opening: 5 practices have no website, which means they are invisible to anyone searching outside Google Maps; the median practice has only 10 reviews, and reviews are the cheapest ground to take.
The headwind: 1 is chain-backed, which means a corporate marketing budget rather than an owner's.
The number to plan against: Wanniassa Dental Surgery has 336 reviews at 4.9. At a typical one review per twelve patient visits, matching that takes roughly 4,200 visits. That is the size of the head start, in a catchment where each practice sees about 2,080 dental patients a year.
