How to choose a dental web agency in 2025

Picking the right partner is less about pretty mockups and more about bookings, compliance, and Core Web Vitals. Use this checklist to shortlist dental web agencies in 2025.

Quick checklist

• Proof of healthcare projects: show live dental/medical builds with metrics.
• Performance commitments: target LCP < 2s on mobile; show current scores.
• Accessibility: WCAG AA testing, labels, contrast, form validation.
• Compliance signals: CQC/GDC placement, privacy notices, consent handling.
• CRO & tracking: GA4 events, call tracking, booking funnel analytics.
• Process: discovery, IA, content, QA, launch, and support spelled out.

Red flags

• Generic portfolios with no healthcare examples.
• No plan for redirects or schema during redesigns.
• Reliance on heavy page builders that hurt speed.
• Vague pricing without scope or assumptions.

What to ask in the first call

1. Show two dental sites you launched and the before/after metrics (speed, bookings).
2. How do you handle LocalBusiness + Service + FAQ schema?
3. What does your QA cover (devices, screen readers, forms, performance)?
4. Who writes or reviews copy to ensure clinical accuracy and conversions?
5. How will you hand over editing and training post-launch?

Decision matrix (scorecard)

• Industry fit (0–5): healthcare examples, references.
• Performance (0–5): target/actual Core Web Vitals, image/CDN approach.
• Compliance (0–5): accessibility, privacy/consent, CQC/GDC placement.
• CRO/Analytics (0–5): events, funnels, dashboards.
• Content (0–5): copy support, schema, FAQs.
• Support (0–5): SLAs, backups, patches.
