Questions about dentists on Google Maps
Who ranks best on Google Maps for dentists in Philadelphia?
In our October 2026 scan, Penn Dental Family Practice at Locust Walk held the top 3 at 7 of 49 points across Philadelphia. Rankings change by street and over time, so check your own business with the free map on this page.
How many Google reviews do the top dentists in Philadelphia have?
The three businesses with the most top-3 spots in this scan had between 15 and 478 reviews. Recent reviews matter along with the total.
Why does my dental office rank first on my street but not a mile away?
Distance from the searcher is a major factor for “dentist” searches. Most practices own a small circle around the office; the heat-map shows how far that circle reaches.
Do insurance or specialty categories help a dentist rank?
Accurate categories help Google match the right searches (for example “Emergency dental service”). Adding categories for services you do not offer does not help and can confuse patients.
How often should a dental practice get new reviews?
There is no official number. In most cities we scan, the practices holding the top 3 add reviews every month; recency matters along with the total.
Is the Google Maps rank the same as the regular Google results?
No. The map list is ranked separately from the website results below it, so a practice can be strong in one and weak in the other.
