Plastic Surgery Website Design

When you were imagining your practice back in med school, the offices of your dreams were well-built, inviting, and able to adapt to changing needs. Your website is your practice’s virtual home, and the first thing a potential patient sees. However, you probably weren’t planning on being the one to vacuum the reception area or put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. 

GrowthMed’s medical website design team creates and proactively maintains customized, built-from-scratch websites and specializes in designing for plastic surgeons. Aesthetics is your business. How your website looks is just as important as how it functions. When you host your plastic surgery website with GrowthMed, visitors to your website will enjoy fast-loading, responsive content. This is one of the main factors when it comes to ranking on Google.

In a recent study that examined what factors patients consider when choosing a plastic surgeon, patients valued outcome transparency, that is, being able to see the results of procedures, over ratings, affiliations, and even price. (2)

Having a website that is designed to showcase your achievements allows potential patients easy access to information about the plastic surgery services you offer and an engaging experience that translates into appointments.

Reputation is everything in the field of plastic surgery. And, when it comes to digital marketing, it’s not just what your patients think about you, it’s what Google thinks about your website. GrowthMed’s healthcare reputation management services make sure that your site complies with Google’s many protocols to maintain a reputable, well-ranked online presence.

Why is SEO for plastic surgery important?

Search engine optimization (SEO) makes it easier for patients to find the services you offer when they are searching online. Websites that are optimized for search engines rank higher in search results, making it more likely that people will visit your site. Being in the top few spots on search engine result pages (SERPs) is crucial because people typically only look at the first few search results. 
Having a website with pages full of high-quality and well-written content is a key part of SEO. But, it’s not just good for search results. It also establishes you as an expert in your field, which can help build patient trust. A fast-loading site of informative content lets patients get the information they need to decide you are a credible authority and book a consultation.

What is included in SEO marketing for Plastic Surgeons?

A well-formulated digital marketing strategy for SEO includes:
An organized site structure with relevant URLs, title tags, image alt text, and heading tags: This makes it easier for Google to crawl the site, and determine its purpose, which is how it decides that it’s relevant to display in search results.
Content that is optimized for intent: It’s important to know what kind of search terms people are looking for so that you can include them in your written content. Although Google had gotten smart enough to recognize “keyword stuffing” it’s still important to make sure that your content corresponds to what your patient demographic is looking for.
Keeping an eye on the competition: Who is ranking above you in search results, and why is that? SEO is an ongoing process, so the ability to analyze and adapt is crucial.
High-quality content: Thorough, original, well-researched content will help you fulfill Google’s E-E-A-T standards: establishing experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness. Robust content will include frequently asked questions, and relative blog posts in addition to more extensive pages outlining your procedures and services.

Why is Technical SEO important for plastic surgery marketing?

Technical SEO is important for everyone, not just plastic surgery sites. Having a website that is technically optimized makes it easier to use for potential patients, and easier for Google to crawl.
Web developers perform the following tasks as best practice:
Using structured data like Schema: This makes it easier for Google to figure out what your webpage is about. When your developer lays it all out in language that makes it easy for Google, it can access more of the content on the page to display on the search results, which are known as rich results. Rich results can include an image, reviews, and other relevant information. That means your result gets more real estate and is more enticing to people that are searching for your services.
Maintaining an organized, logical site structure: Google crawls web pages by jumping from link to link. Plastic surgeons perform many specific techniques for many procedures for many areas of the body. And, new trends, treatments, and technology are constantly being introduced. Savvy developers will make sure that the site structure is scalable, and maintained, and that related procedures are linked and ordered in a way that makes sense for both potential patients and Google.
Making sure it’s snappy: No one wants to sit around waiting for a site to load. Neither does Google, which is designed to make sure that the most useful search results are displayed. As a result, Google looks for several page experience signals to make sure that a webpage is worth displaying on a SERP. Core Web Vitals measure how fast your site responds to clicks. This is especially important for plastic surgery websites that contain hundreds of high-definition before and after pictures. Good developers can make sure a site responds instantly. They’ll also make sure that the same thing happens on a mobile version.

Why is content important for plastic surgery SEO?

Having as much content as possible is essential for making sure your website ranks well in search results. However, quality is just as important as quantity. Medical and financial websites are what Google considers YMYL: your money or your life. This means that these pages are held to a much higher standard for quality than say, a site offering bow ties. Ideal content for a plastic surgery website is thorough, well-researched, and cites reputable sources like peer-reviewed medical journals. It also needs to be well-written and easy to understand for users. This means that it’s important to work with an SEO marketing agency that has knowledgeable, talented writers who can consistently produce accurate, original, long-form content. The more in-depth the information, the more likely that keywords occur organically, and that the article remains relevant to a larger pool of search queries.
Another crucial requirement of SEO writing is that each piece of content is completely original, that is, does not exist anywhere else on the internet. If Google discovers that the same content exists on another site when crawling the page, it has many ways to determine where the content originated, and the site that has duplicated content will be considered redundant and ultimately unhelpful – and filtered out of the search results.

How can I make sure that patients in my area can find me?

Good SEO includes local SEO, which is especially important for plastic surgeons since most patients are interested in finding a practice that is convenient to visit. Content, URLs, and other technical aspects of your site can be designed to target a specific area. Making sure that your Google My Business page is well-maintained is crucial. A detailed local SEO strategy customized to the needs of your plastic surgery practice will help ensure that your practice appears in search results for patients searching for services in your area.
