Businesses

Dentist businesses in Ottawa

Statistics Canada does not publish a business count for dentists in Ottawa at this level, so this page shows none. It publishes counts for Ottawa only for broader industry groups, which mix dentists with other businesses. That is a finding about the published statistics, not about how many dentists work here.

Population: 1,325,788 (Ottawa - Gatineau (CMA), Ontario part, Ontario). Source: Statistics Canada table 17-10-0148-01, population estimates by CMA/CA, July 1 vintage.

Business counts are never compared across countries on this site: each country's statistics agency counts a different set of businesses.

Where do the numbers on this page come from?

Searches and click prices: Google Ads via DataForSEO, pulled 13 October 2026. Lead rate: LocaliQ 2026 (US benchmark). Booking rate: ServiceTitan (US/Canada benchmark). Population and business counts: Table 33-10-1016-01 carries only the combined Ottawa - Gatineau CMA (Ontario+Quebec) and the narrower Ottawa CSD; it does not split the CMA into an Ontario part the way the population table (17-10-0148-01) does, so the Ontario-part business count this project requires isn't published. Click prices convert from US$ at the Federal Reserve H.10 2026-09 average. Every source is listed at the bottom of this page.

Method

Search terms: a fixed keyword set per service for Canada, tagged by intent (general, near me, urgent and specific jobs), targeted to Ottawa with Google Ads location codes, not a text match.

Monthly searches is the average of the last 12 months, summed across the counted keywords. Related keywords are listed but never counted.

Click price is the search-weighted average click price across the counted keywords (sum of each keyword's click price times its monthly searches, divided by total searches), as Google Ads reports the per-keyword prices via DataForSEO.

Year on year compares the last 12 months of counted searches with the 12 months before.

Cost per booked appointment is the click price divided by the lead rate times the booking rate. The lead rate is LocaliQ's US share of clicks that become calls or forms for the closest industry (US benchmark); the booking rate is ServiceTitan's share of calls that book, for trades (US/Canada benchmark). Where either rate has no source, the page prints no number.

DataForSEO reports click prices in US$; they convert to CAD at the Federal Reserve H.10 September 2026 average (1 CAD = 0.7157 US$).

The tags “Lowest click price on this page” and “Highest click price on this page” rank the intent groups on this page by click price. They are rankings, not verdicts.
