SEO and Google Ads for doctors and medical practices.

The work that gets a doctor's practice into the map and the search results when people nearby look for a doctor or a service. Local SEO for doctors covers your practice's Google Business Profile, your doctors' own profiles, your reviews, your listings across the web and the pages on your website.

Our SEO plans start from $499 a month for one practice, month to month, with no setup fee. Professional starts from $1,299 a month for up to 3 locations and Dominate from $3,799 for up to 10. Whether each doctor's own profile counts as one of the plan's profiles is agreed on the call, along with the exact plan and price. Google Ads management is separate, from $499 a month.

Yes. We run Google Search ads, the pay-per-click ads at the top of the results, for the services you want more patients for, in a Google Ads account you own. Management is from $499 a month, month to month, with no setup fee. Ad spend starts from $500 a month and you pay it to Google directly, on your own card. The details are agreed on the call.

On Google they do different jobs. Ads can put you at the top of the page as soon as Google approves them, and they stop when you stop paying. SEO takes months and keeps working after that. Many practices run both for a while. After the free check we tell you which we'd start with for your area.

Profile changes like the doctor profiles, the booking link and the review replies are usually made in the first weeks, though Google may take a few days to review them. Moving up the map usually takes months, and longer in a crowded metro than in a suburb. After the free check we tell you what looks realistic for your area.

You don't have to. Google allows a separate profile for each public-facing doctor who can be reached at the practice during their hours, named with the doctor's name only, alongside the practice's own profile. Support staff, such as the front desk team, shouldn't have one. Doctor profiles can help when patients search for someone by name, but they also spread reviews across more profiles, so we decide case by case.

Usually not. Google's guidelines say that when a doctor is the only public-facing practitioner at a branded practice, it's best to share one profile with the practice, usually named with the brand first and then the doctor's name. We look at your setup in the free check.

Both. Physician SEO works the same way for a dermatology, orthopedic or eye care practice as for a family practice: the profiles, reviews, listings and pages. What changes is what patients search for, the services on your profile and the practices you compete with, so the free check looks at the main search for your specialty.

For many treatments, no. Google treats health as a sensitive category, which covers ads about health conditions, surgery, procedures and injections, fertility treatment and mental health care. Ads like that can't be aimed at your own patient list, at people who visited your website, or at people Google finds similar to them. Search ads on what people type are allowed, and that's where we put the budget.

Never confirm or deny that the reviewer is a patient, and don't mention their care, dates or anything from their records. Thank them in general terms and invite them to call the office. HHS, which enforces HIPAA, has taken action against medical practices whose replies to online reviews gave away patient details. This is general guidance, and your compliance advisor has the final say.

The requests go to every patient the same way after a visit, with a direct link to your review form. Google doesn't allow any incentive for a review, asking only the patients you expect to be happy, or reviews from your own staff, and the FTC bans offering anything in exchange for a review that says something positive. How many reviews come in depends on your patients.

No. Google says no one can guarantee a ranking, and the number of new patients depends on your area, your services and your reviews. We do the work inside Google's rules and show you the results in your monthly report.
