How We Score Each Agency
Every agency in the main list is based in Victoria. National dental agencies that work here are shown separately below it. We checked each one’s dental client work, public reviews, published results and terms before adding it, then read every client testimonial we could find. Only agencies that pass these checks are listed, so every DSA Score starts at 80. The other 20 depend on how many of the 100 points below each agency earns: DSA Score = 80 + points earned ÷ 5.
- Profile (up to 80 points). Five factors scored out of 20 each, then scaled to 80:
- Client reviews: a verified rating on Google, Clutch, G2, UpCity, Trustpilot or a similar platform
- Experience: years in business, a named founder or leader, and a dental or healthcare focus
- Client portfolio: how many dental clients the agency names publicly
- Published results: case studies with real figures, such as traffic, leads or revenue
- Transparency: published prices, clear contract terms, and a confirmed website and location
- Client feedback (up to 20 points). What clients actually say, from the testimonials we read on Google, independent review sites and the agency’s own website:
- Independent reviews (6): how many reviews we found that the agency doesn’t control
- Client satisfaction (8): how consistently clients praise the agency, adjusted so a handful of reviews can’t outscore a long track record
- Independent sources (4): how much of the feedback comes from Google and review sites rather than the agency’s own pages
- Dental clients (2): at least one review from a dental practice
- Verification. Client feedback points are reduced when reviews or agency details can’t be verified.
We summarise each client review in our own words and link to the original, so you can read it in full.
Price ranges are a guide based on published rates and typical fees for agencies of a similar profile. Always ask for a written quote.

Dental SEO in Geelong: Frequently Asked Questions
Propeld lists Myers Street Dental. Is it the only Geelong agency here with health clients?
Yes. Propeld is the one agency on the Geelong page with dental or healthcare work. Besides Myers Street Dental, it names Dr Justin Evans, PhysioPod, Move Sports Physiotherapy & Pilates and Counselling You. It builds websites, runs SEO and social, and shoots video and photos in-house from Gheringhap Street. New clients can book a free 15-minute strategy call.
Pixeld lets clients pay for a site over 12 months. What does the build itself cost?
A$6,000 to A$15,000 for a standard business site, which can be paid over 12 monthly instalments. Care plans start at A$80 a month. Pixeld builds on WordPress, runs SEO, Google Ads and Google Business Profile management, and is a HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner. Clients include the Geelong Cats and Deakin University, but none are dental.
Our practice manager wants to learn Google Ads and GA4 rather than outsource everything. Who in Geelong teaches that?
Arthur St Digital at Federal Mills Park in North Geelong. It runs workshops on SEO, GA4, Canva and Google Ads, and it trained and mentored the Geelong Cats marketing team. It can also run the ads and design a UX-focused website if you later hand the work over. It holds a 4.9 Google rating and is a Google Partner, but names no dental clients.
A new practice opening in Newtown needs a name, a logo and a website. Who in Geelong does all three?
Still Not Scared, formerly Elk Creative, on Camden Road in Newtown. The studio handles business naming, brand strategy, logos and websites, then maintains WordPress sites after launch. It has branded Geelong businesses for over 15 years and links branding and website price guides from its site. It names no dental clients and has no public rating we could verify.
Feed Digital and Yellow Door Digital both date from 2018. Which suits a practice moving its old website?
Yellow Door Digital. Founder Kerri Bennett’s team on Little Malop Street handles website migrations and audits, works mainly on Shopify, and adds SEO and email marketing. Feed Digital on Ryrie Street is the better match for ongoing search, social ads, email and content for a small business. Neither names a dental client or publishes prices.
