Orthopedic marketing, joint by joint.

Orthopedic patients search by joint, injury or surgery, and a lot of them pick a specialist before they get a referral. We build the procedure and condition pages, reviews and campaigns that reach them first.

The challenge

What orthopedic practices are up against.

Hospital budgets, long decisions and very specific searches.

01

Every joint is its own market

Knee, hip, shoulder, spine and hand each have their own searches and competitors.

02

Hospital systems

They take most of the generic orthopedic searches.

03

Long surgical decisions

Joint replacement patients research outcomes, recovery and surgeons for months.

04

Walk-ins and sports injuries

Ortho urgent care and sports medicine need quick, phone-friendly ways to get seen.

What we do

What we do for orthopedic practices.

Local SEO

Condition, procedure and surgeon pages for each joint and specialty, tied to locations.

Google Business Profile

Practice and provider profiles, services, and ortho urgent care hours.

Reviews & reputation

Review requests after recovery milestones.

Content

Recovery timelines, surgery vs. non-surgical options, and sports injury guides.

Paid ads

Google Ads on procedure + location searches and ortho urgent care terms.

One team, one report

One team for SEO, content, ads and reporting, measured by consult requests per service line.

Process

How we bring in joint and injury patients.

Our five steps. For orthopedics, we usually plan the content one joint at a time.

01

Audit

We look at your Google Business Profile, website, reviews and competitors, and at how patients find you today.

02

Tracking, set up carefully

Call tracking numbers, form and booking tracking by source. No patient information goes to analytics or ad platforms.

03

GBP, site & reviews

We fix gaps in your profile, build service and location pages, and set up review requests after appointments.

04

Content & campaigns

Condition and treatment pages go live. Google, Meta or TikTok campaigns start where they make sense and policy allows.

05

Monthly report

A plain report on new-patient inquiries and where they came from. Then we put more into what’s working.

Compliance for orthopedic marketing

Healthcare marketing has rules, and we follow them from day one. Your practice approves every page, ad and review reply before it goes live.

  • HIPAA-conscious tracking: no protected health information in analytics, pixels, or call recordings sent to ad platforms
  • No patient data uploaded to Google, Meta or TikTok for targeting or retargeting
  • Outcome claims checked against medical advertising rules
  • LegitScript certification obtained where platforms require it, such as addiction treatment

This is how we work, not legal advice. Your compliance officer or counsel has the final say on your obligations.
