More patients find you. Fewer find your competition.
Plastic surgery is one of the most competitive search markets in the country. In Southern California, that competition is even tougher. I help practices in LA, Orange County, and San Diego rank for the searches that actually bring patients in the door.

Your website looks great. But patients can't find it.
You spent real money on a professional website. You have before and afters, procedure pages, and a booking form. But if a patient in Pasadena searches "rhinoplasty surgeon near me" right now, are you showing up?
Most aren't.
Plastic surgery patients research heavily before they reach out. They compare surgeons, read reviews, look at credentials, and scroll through results. If you're not visible at the top of that process, you're not part of the decision at all.
The problem isn't your practice. It's that SEO for plastic surgeons is a different game than general medical SEO, and most marketing agencies treat it the same way they'd treat a dentist or a chiropractor. They run the same playbook and wonder why results are slow.
Southern California makes it harder. You're competing against practices with large marketing budgets, established domain authority, and years of content behind them. Getting to page one requires a targeted approach, not a generic one.
That's what I do.
A focused process, not a mystery
Step 1
Step 2
Audit your current rankings
Before anything else, I look at where you stand today. Which procedure pages are ranking, which ones aren't, what your competitors are doing, and where the fastest opportunities are. You get a clear picture of the work ahead, not vague promises.
Build a strategy for your market
Beverly Hills is different from Irvine. Malibu is different from Chula Vista. Your plan is built around your specific city, your procedures, and the patients you want to attract. That includes keyword targeting, content gaps, technical issues, and local SEO gaps that are costing you visibility right now.
Step 3
Execute the work
This is where most SEO services go quiet. I stay hands-on: writing and optimizing procedure content, fixing technical issues, building local citations, improving your Google Business Profile, and earning relevant backlinks. You see what's being done and why.
Step 4
Track and report what matters
Rankings, organic traffic, call volume, consultation requests. Not vanity metrics. If something isn't working, we adjust. The goal is always the same: more qualified patients finding you through search.

Procedure Page Optimization
Your rhinoplasty page shouldn't read the same as your facelift page. Each procedure has its own search behavior, its own intent, and its own competition. I write and optimize individual pages for each major procedure you offer so you rank for the right searches, not just generic terms.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
For plastic surgeons, local visibility is everything. I optimize your Google Business Profile, build and clean up local citations, and improve your presence in the map pack, which is where most patients click first.
Technical SEO
Slow load times, duplicate content, broken internal links, poor mobile performance, these things quietly kill rankings. I audit your site, prioritize the fixes that matter, and work with your developer or handle changes directly.
Content Strategy and Writing
Patients ask real questions before they book. How long is recovery from a tummy tuck? What's the difference between a mini facelift and a full facelift? Am I a good candidate for liposuction? Answering those questions with well-optimized content builds trust and captures search traffic at every stage of the patient journey.
Monthly Reporting
You get a clear report every month showing rankings, traffic changes, and what was done. No jargon, no fluff. If something moved, you'll know why.
SoCal is its own market
Plastic surgery search in Southern California is not like anywhere else in the country. You have patients with high expectations, high purchasing power, and a lot of choices. The practices they find first are not always the best, they're just the best optimized.
Los Angeles alone has hundreds of board-certified plastic surgeons competing for the same searches. Add Orange County and San Diego and you're looking at one of the most competitive regional markets in medical SEO. Generic SEO does not work here.
I focus exclusively on SoCal practices because knowing this market matters. The local search landscape, the competitor profiles, the patient behavior, it's specific. That specificity is what makes the work effective.

WHAT GOOD SEO LOOKS LIKE FOR YOUR PRACTICE
When your SEO is working, a few things shift.
Patients call or fill out a form having already decided they like what they see. They've read your procedure pages, looked at your credentials, and compared you to others. By the time they reach out, you're already the frontrunner.
You stop competing on paid ads as heavily. Organic rankings keep working after the work is done. Paid traffic stops the moment you stop paying. SEO compounds over time.
You attract the right patients. Procedure-specific content and local targeting means the people finding you are looking for exactly what you offer, not just any surgeon in a 50-mile radius.
Your competitors have to work harder to catch up. Once you hold strong rankings, they take sustained effort to displace.
None of that happens overnight. But it starts with getting the fundamentals right and building from there.

FAQs - Honest answers to common questions
How long does SEO take to show results?
1
Honestly, it depends on your starting point and your market. Most practices start to see meaningful ranking movement between 3 and 6 months in. More competitive markets like Beverly Hills or West Hollywood can take longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your actual situation, not a number designed to close a sale.
My practice is already doing some SEO. Why isn't it working?
2
A few common reasons. The content is too thin or too generic. The local SEO setup is incomplete. There are technical issues on the site holding rankings down. Or the keywords being targeted are too competitive without enough authority behind them. An audit usually makes the problem clear fast.
What procedures should we focus on first?
3
Usually the procedures with the highest revenue per case and the most local search demand. That's often rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, facelifts, and body contouring, but it depends on your practice and city. We'll map that out together.
5
Will this work for a newer practice?
How much does it cost?
4
It depends on the scope: how many procedures you want to target, how competitive your market is, and how much ground needs to be made up. The strategy call is free and I'll give you a straight answer on pricing during that conversation.
Yes. Newer practices actually have an opportunity here because they don't have years of poor SEO to undo. Starting with a clean, well-structured approach from the beginning sets a much better foundation than trying to fix bad work later.
