That’s where Digital Spotlight comes in.

Why Is Marketing Important to the Success of a Plastic Surgery Clinic?

Medical practitioners like you will benefit from marketing campaigns attracting strong organic traffic. These campaigns ensure that online users who find your site through SERPs are genuinely interested in your products or services.

At Digital Spotlight, we’ll develop such campaigns using our uniquely effective in-house tools and processes, which we’ve developed through over 15 years of industry success.

Our analytical approach can reliably improve your online visibility and conversion rates by turning your plastic surgery practice into a top answer for a significant volume of queries.

We can simultaneously target a broad range of core keywords for your practice, helping rank your site for 10 to over 150 versions of these keywords on Google’s first page.

Another benefit of our marketing services is our online reputation management approach, which involves spotlighting the reviews or citations that spread the good word about your practice so that they’ll be the focus instead of the reviews that could harm your practice.

Why Plastic Surgeons Should Hire a Marketing Agency

When done correctly, a marketing firm’s SEO strategy can provide substantial medium- to long-term ROI (return on investment) for a plastic surgery clinic. What’s more, you can enjoy compounding returns with steadily dropping marketing costs when you work with technical specialists like us.

We also charge flat monthly fees, so even as your website gains better placements in SERPs and becomes more valuable, lead generation costs drop instead.

Marketing agencies like ours can maximize SEO’s impact on your plastic surgery practice to help you get more high-quality leads that convert.

Why Digital Marketing Outshines Traditional Methods

Aside from cost-effectiveness, digital marketing is more accessible than traditional channels like billboards, print, radio, and television.

Crucially, traditional advertising methods are significantly limited in terms of targeting audiences. Well-designed and implemented digital marketing strategies bring the most outstanding value for your advertising dollars, reaching your most important audiences at a markedly lower cost.

Aligning Your Online and In-Person Presence

As a veteran healthcare practitioner, your website should reflect your extensive knowledge and experience. This will help establish your credibility as a respected player in the surgery industry.

Our SEO approach helps your page become more visible to user searches by targeting the keywords with the following characteristics:

Entering the market (ETM): These are queries by those interested in your offerings but who have yet to decide whether to book a procedure with your clinic. Examples of these keywords include “(city) plastic surgeons” or “cosmetic surgery (state).”
In the market (ITM): These are queries by prospective patients ready to book with you or a competitor. Examples of these keywords are “book plastic surgery studios (city)” or “book cosmetic surgery in (state).”

Our focus on ETM and ITM keywords helps us optimize your campaign to reach patients intending to book procedures and those already well into the purchase process.

We’ll also provide public relations recommendations in high-authority domains, such as Forbes and The Huffington Post, allowing us to manage and protect what information can be seen online in association with your brand, practice, and staff.

This reputation management approach helps us blunt the impact of harmful reviews on your business.

Tailored Digital Marketing for Medical Professionals

Digital Spotlight uses proven tools, comprehensive analyses, and unmatched experience to help you find and engage new patients for your plastic surgery practice.

In developing your customized SEO campaign, our marketing team thoroughly audits your situation, goals, and budget, helping us create an approach that best suits your needs.

To put your best foot forward, we’ll ensure that your website content is relevant and high-value. With the appropriate content type for target keywords, your page can help your current and new patients easily find your surgical practice to get the top-notch care they deserve.

Digital Marketing Packages

Through our comprehensive SEO services, we provide significant ROI for our clients. On average, our digital marketing strategies reduce clients’ marketing costs by around 33% and their acquisition costs by 23%.

We’ve also grown clients’ leads and sales by around 83%—and, in some exceptional cases, even cultivated a fourfold surge in sales.

Our SEO approach involves three critical components that allow us to provide maximum coverage for our clients’ needs:

As the first step of our partnership, we’ll perform a free SEO tech audit to identify the factors affecting your search engine results.

Our broad-ranging optimization process will give you an advanced and reliable system for gaining and keeping first-page local organic search rankings.

Off-site SEO

We’ll conduct strategic link-building to establish your website’s domain authority and relevance for specific topics. These links will help build your credibility in Google’s eyes and increase referral traffic from relevant sites.

On-site SEO

We’ll align your web content with the keywords you want to rank for so that Google detects which keywords you optimized on your web page.

Local SEO

We’ll help geographically dependent ventures like your plastic surgery practice gain the top spots in Google’s local search rankings.

Plastic Surgery Marketing

We provide practical online marketing approaches supported by extensive experience, helping your practice stand apart as a desirable choice in your industry and locale.

Our math-driven method finds patterns in data. We’ve kept every piece of information from our previous campaigns and market reports, and we’ll apply what we’ve learned to the strategies we’ll develop for you.

SEO and Content Marketing for Plastic Surgeons

Content marketing involves producing and promoting high-quality content intended for specific audiences. This targeting makes content marketing ideal for establishing and maintaining patient relationships.

In addition, content marketing is valuable for educating your target audience (potential patients) about your practice. Quality content that maximizes the impact of SEO allows you to target your desired demographics, significantly improving your search engine visibility.

We understand that the success of a practice’s online presence depends on the robustness of its content marketing. This is why we’ll thoroughly analyze your ideal patient demographics to understand their behavior and needs.

Through our extensive study of your business needs, our approach maximizes online channels to drive significant increases in your leads, nonreferral patients, and consultations and stimulate more traction for your optimized content.

We can help you develop helpful and relevant plastic surgery content that solidifies your position as an industry authority. Content types geared toward patient education include blogs, videos, and webinars.

Web Development for Plastic Surgery Clinics

An effective website for plastic surgery practices is optimized for local search engine queries and multiple-platform access. We’re happy to report that Digital Spotlight has a sterling record of success in these areas.

Our web design and development method involves testing compatibility across various platforms. We combine this with our comprehensive analysis of your business needs to ensure your website becomes even more visible online.

We can simultaneously target 3 to 20 core keywords for your site, after which we’ll boost these with our unique ranking technology to help you rank for as many as 150 versions of these keywords on Google’s first page.

This website design and development approach will strategically incorporate target keywords into your content, secure backlinks to authoritative sources, and optimize your site’s architecture to ensure smooth navigation and speedy loading.

Google Ads for Plastic Surgery Clinics

Google Ads, formerly Google AdWords, is a pay-per-click (PPC) platform that allows advertisers to exhibit their ads on Google’s SERPs.

As part of our digital marketing services, we’ll develop your Google ads to target the people most likely to act on them and take their money to your products or services.

In creating your ads, our keyword research will focus on prospective patients who are ready to book and those who are still unsure but are pretty interested.

We are a certified Google Premier Partner, which means we have a dedicated Google agency team providing us with training. We also have direct access to Google Ads’ top support teams and exclusive non-public data that contributes to our unmatched quality of service.

If you work with us, you’ll enjoy a unique competitive advantage because we’re among the first to hear about new Google features. Our privileged info will help you gain an edge before other plastic surgery practitioners become aware of these developments.

Local SEO Strategies for Plastic Surgeons

Our services aim to cultivate your search engine visibility in your most vital market. Additionally, our math-driven local SEO approach will significantly benefit your business if your physical location or operational coverage focuses on clients in a specific locale.

We’ll develop a keyword strategy for your campaign, focusing on location-oriented targeting before general targeting. This approach will help maximize your local visibility.

By analyzing SERPs, we’ll ensure that your SEO campaign helps your website become more visible whenever potential patients use geo-specific terms like “near me” when searching for your products or services.

Our local SEO approach can be adapted to meet a wide range of your needs. Your SEO campaign will be fully customized to your specifications and objectives, and we do this by listening first and then offering a free technical audit. This check could otherwise cost you thousands of dollars.

Email Marketing for Plastic Surgeons

This approach remains potent. Pretty much every online user has an email address, and every address they provide is a potential lead for your practice.

Email marketing can be the perfect addition to your website and social media content to target your preferred patient groups.

Through email marketing methods like Gmail Sponsored Promotions (GSP), you can engage existing patients, attract new ones, raise awareness of your practice, and promote your latest offerings.

Our email marketing strategy is akin to sending personalized invites to would-be patients looking to try new procedures or products. This approach also helps you reconnect with your past patients and keep them engaged with your brand.

Social Media Is a Critical Element

Social media is well-suited to reaching potential patients more directly. Although social media channels might not directly improve your SEO rankings, engagement in these platforms still significantly influences your visibility and your campaign’s performance.

We’ll analyze which ads or blogs receive more engagements to determine the most successful key terms. The insights gathered from these observations will help us align our strategy to your potential patients’ interests.

Lead Tracking

When monitoring your website’s performance during your SEO campaign, we’ll conduct comprehensive website audits and correctly implement Google Analytics to ensure the accuracy of your data.

Our strategy will use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), the new version of Analytics that collects data from both websites and apps to better understand user behaviors.

Unlike the session-based data of the classical Universal Analytics setup, GA4 uses event-based data. GA4 also comes with predictive capabilities that can guide us in conducting your campaign without the need to deploy complex models.

GA4 helps us track your SEO campaign metrics, optimize your web pages, and monitor performance across multiple channels. This system will help us ensure more new and nonreferral leads, consultations, and bookings for your practice.

We’ll keep you appraised on how our use of Google Analytics can bolster your plastic surgery website’s presence and performance.

We’ll also supply you with the data we collect from GA4 in our monthly reporting and analysis through the Looker Studio platform. Our comprehensive live dashboard organizes all of your data to make it easier to comprehend and interpret.

GA4 will help us provide a more detailed and transparent view of your site visitors’ behavior compared to traditional analytics.

Your Goals and Expectations Matter

Digital Spotlight is committed to your needs as a medical practitioner in a competitive niche. We’re not just selling a service; we’re more concerned with listening to your goals and developing a strategy aligned with your objectives.

We are fully accountable to your campaign objectives, and we won’t make any false reassurances or grandiose promises of success.

Our ethos is to only work with clients for whom we can ensure results, and they stay with us for the long term because of the results we deliver.

We’re not here to pitch or to make the next round of commissions. We’ll listen, offer recommendations, and show you how a battle-tested SEO company makes good on its work commitment to your practice.

In fact, we’re so confident in our ability to deliver that we have no need to tie down clients with lock-in contracts. You can walk away anytime you find our results unsatisfactory.

Our Process

Here are some of the steps and components involved in our development of an effective SEO strategy that will showcase your plastic surgery practice at its best:

SEO Audit

To understand where you’re coming from and what you hope to achieve through your custom SEO strategy, we’ll ask probing questions about your situation, challenges, and the results that would make a difference to your business.

Our SEO tech audit on your web pages will identify what’s affecting your search engine visibility. Our optimization process can help you benefit from a reliable and well-developed system for achieving and keeping first-page local organic search rankings.

Keyword Research

Keyword research is one foundation of an excellent SEO campaign. We’ll develop a keyword strategy that will remain effective through a regular monthly review.

This research will draw on multiple sources, including competitor rankings, AdWords or PLA (product listing ads), Google Search Console, and other keyword tools.

We will focus on the key terms that need repairing, considering predictive traffic, negative reviews, and the keywords’ importance to your business.

Our keyword services are thorough; you won’t need to worry about sudden shifts in keyword popularity as we continually optimize your campaign without limiting the number of keywords or adding to your monthly fee.

Competitor Analysis

We’ll conduct rankings evaluations of your competitors’ sites. Our keyword competitor analysis and market research will help us identify the best approach to making your site outrank other plastic surgeons’ websites.

On-Page Optimization

Once we identify the local search keywords and factors that will boost your site’s Google relevance, we’ll apply the following on-page SEO techniques to your content:

Keyword usage: In addition to optimizing multiple high-impact keywords, we’ll analyze search intent and develop an ROI-focused strategy via page-specific keyword intent targeting.
Information architecture (IA): Our IA adjustments will improve your website’s structure so information flows logically. This will help potential patients and search engines find what they are looking for more easily.
Internal link strategy: We’ll interconnect every page within your site’s domain, ensuring they pass vital link equity metrics. We’ll also update links pointing to non-indexable pages, optimize your site’s anchor text, and improve the crawl depth (how much search engines can index your on-site content) for the most critical parts of your site.
Metadata: We’ll optimize your meta tags (components in hypertext markup language that provide information about your site to search engines and users) and meta descriptions (tags that give a summary of a specific page’s content and topic). Improving these vital components of your site’s metadata will help us ensure your site’s authoritativeness and trustworthiness.
URL structure: To boost your website’s credibility, we’ll redirect your pages to accessible and easily understandable URLs (uniform resource locators). We’ll also ensure that harmful elements like excessive dashes and unrendered emojis do not affect your URL.

Off-Page Optimization

We can apply these changes outside your website to help establish its authority and popularity and boost its ranking in organic search engine results:

Backlinks: We’ll acquire local backlinks from local businesses, newspapers, and blogs to improve your site’s authority and relevance.
Brand mentions: Our prospecting or outreach team will strategically place references to your brand and business across the internet to further boost your visibility.
Guest blogging: Our guest posting service will help you develop and post articles on other blogs or websites. This content type can help generate more high-quality backlinks and referral traffic.
Local citations: We’ll create and manage business listings across multiple online directories and platforms.

The local citations we’ll build for your campaign include NAP (name, address, and phone number), website URL, business email address and hours, and service descriptions.

HIPAA Compliance

A notable component of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) that you need to consider is its suite of regulations concerning the use of before and after photos on marketing material like websites.

This act details federal regulations that aim to protect sensitive health information from being disclosed without the consent of patients.

Per HIPAA provisions, plastic surgeons like you can use such images to prove your competence only when the patient provides their explicit authorization.

While photo galleries are valuable in convincing potential patients that you possess their desired aesthetic sensibilities and skills, you must get your patients’ express consent to post their photos online.

FAQs

What is SEO?

SEO is a digital marketing practice that covers a diverse selection of methods and processes, all aimed at improving your practice’s visibility in search engines when online users search for your services or specialization.

At the same time, we understand that SEO is not a static discipline. Google introduces algorithm changes so rapidly that 99% of businesses cannot keep up with these.

As many of these adjustments are technical, SEO specialists like us can ensure that your business makes the most of these updates.

Is search engine optimization (SEO) still needed to market my website?

Yes. SEO continues to evolve and will continue to do so as long as search engines exist.

Consider the following questions:

Do potential customers still use search engines?
Do search engines still display organic results?
Can these organic results still be influenced by digital marketing strategies?

If the sole answer to these is “yes,” then your website still needs SEO.

How long will it take to see results from SEO marketing?

SEO is a long-term strategy. Google estimates that the results of an effective SEO campaign become apparent only after four months to a year, while other experts peg this duration at three to six months.

Critical factors affecting SEO timelines include Google’s consistent updates, as each shift requires us to adjust your SEO strategy to keep your campaign on top of these changes.

As long as we optimize your website, you should see tangible benefits as the months pass.

How do search engines determine what is valuable content and what is not?

According to Google, relevance depends on many factors working together, including (but not limited to) the user’s location, language, and device (desktop or mobile).

The query’s wording will also influence what appears in SERPs. For instance, a search for “plastic surgery clinics” will have very different results (likely local results with minimal image results) from a search for “latest cosmetic procedures” (likely image results with no local results).

Once Google identifies relevant content, it evaluates which of these relevant results are the most helpful. This is done through Google’s E-E-A-T criteria, which prioritizes content that exhibits experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness.

Google’s systems attach greater value to content and websites that demonstrate strong E-E-A-T for topics concerning health, safety, financial stability, and societal well-being.

Is it necessary to pay for SEO services if I am already paying for PPC advertising?

Yes, because they address very different concerns. SEO is focused on growing your organic or free traffic to raise your SERP rankings. Meanwhile, PPC is concerned with placing ads on SERPs from pages or other websites, with the client paying once someone clicks on one of these ads.

SEO has the significant advantage of medium- to long-term compounding returns, as this approach allows you to keep planning and predicting website traffic as long as we optimize your campaign.

What is a click-through rate (CTR), and why is it important for my website?

Click-through rate measures the performance of your keywords and ads. This is calculated by dividing the number of clicks an ad receives by the number of times it is shown.

CTR can help you identify which ads and keywords bring the best results for you and which need to be adjusted and improved. A high CTR means that search engine users consider your ads and content helpful and relevant.

What are meta descriptions?

These user-visible tags provide a short, relevant summary of a specific page’s topic and content. Essentially, meta descriptions serve as pitches aimed at convincing users that the page is precisely what they need at that moment.

While there’s no length limit for meta descriptions, the text is often cut short in Google’s SERPs to fit the width of the user’s current device.

As part of our SEO services, we’ll ensure that your website does not have duplicate, irrelevant, or missing meta descriptions, as these factors can significantly harm your search engine ranking and visibility.

Can you handle both local and national strategies?

Yes. Our local SEO services help your business become more visible when users search with geo-specific terms like “near me” in conjunction with your practice’s products or services.

National SEO focuses on a broader audience that is not limited to a specific locale or region. This approach involves wider-ranging keyword research coupled with high-quality backlinks and content—features that are part and parcel of our SEO services.
