Do you guarantee page one rankings or a number of patients?
No. No honest plastic surgery marketing agency can guarantee a specific ranking, because Google and the AI models change the rules without asking anyone. What we do is set benchmarks up front, measure against them monthly, and show you the same screenshots we show on this page. We aim for a return of at least three times your investment, and we say so in writing.
How long until we see results?
Google and social adverts can book consultations within two to four weeks of launch. SEO usually shows tangible movement from month two or three: better Maps positions, first page for long-tail terms, more enquiries. The competitive short-tail keywords, "rhinoplasty London" for instance, take longer and are worth more. Year two is where the compounding shows.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on which services you need, how competitive your procedure and city are, and how much of the website needs rebuilding first. If we run adverts for you, we recommend a minimum ad budget of about £1,500 a month per platform, paid directly to Google or Meta and separate from our fee. You will get a written proposal after the Discovery Call, not a menu.
Which services should a plastic surgeon start with?
Usually three: a website that converts, Google Ads for consultations this month, and SEO for the compounding growth behind it. AI follow-up goes in at the same time because it costs little and saves the leads the other three produce. Social advertising, content, PR and referral marketing come in once the foundation is booking.
How do you stay compliant with UK advertising rules for cosmetic surgery?
Everything we write is checked against GMC guidance, the ASA and CAP rules on cosmetic interventions, and GDPR for anything that touches patient data. Before and after images, testimonials, time-limited offers and claims about outcomes all have rules, and we have worked under them, and under AHPRA and HIPAA, for over a decade.
We get most patients from referrals. Does this still apply?
Yes, and more than you would think. Referred patients research you before they book, and many read the AI summary or the Maps reviews first. A strong search presence wins the referral you were already going to get and the one you weren't. And our referral marketing service grows the referrals themselves.
How long is the commitment?
Twelve months for SEO in the first year, because SEO that is switched off at month four is money spent on a foundation nobody built on. Advertising and AI services run month to month after an initial three months. We set performance projections at the start; if every recommendation is followed and nothing improves, you can ask for a review and early termination.
Is cosmetic surgery SEO different from plastic surgery SEO?
The keywords are, and so is the patient. Cosmetic surgery SEO chases shorter decisions and far more competition from non-surgical clinics, so the pages have to answer price and recovery questions early. Surgical terms are searched less often, convert better and take longer to win. Most of our clients need both, weighted towards whichever procedures they actually want to operate on.
What is AI SEO, and is it different from normal SEO?
It is the work of getting your clinic recommended inside Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers, not just listed in the classic ten blue links. The foundations are the same as good medical SEO. The extra layer is structure and consistency: your clinic described the same way everywhere, with reviews and citations a language model can trust.
Who will actually work on my account?
A dedicated account manager and between three and seven specialists depending on the channels: SEO, PPC, web, content, social and AI. All in-house, all healthcare only, with UK-based team members for the clinics here. You will know their names by the end of week one.
