Marketing for medical practices: what we found in 11 US practices

Marketing for medical practices starts with something concrete: a patient searching for a service finds you, sees whether you take their insurance and books without calling twice. On October 3 and 4, 2026 we reviewed 11 practices one by one: family medicine, pediatrics, chiropractic and dental offices in Hialeah, FL; Sunnyside, WA; Dodge City, KS and Dalton, GA. We checked each website, its Google profile and whether it ran ads.

  1. 2 of 11have no working website: one has none at all and the other fails to load with a security error.
  2. Of the 9 with a site, 7 have no online booking. Appointments go through the phone or a call-back form.
  3. 3sites have no main heading (H1) and another 3 have several, so Google cannot tell what the page is about.
  4. 2sites are not built for mobile, and one of them still loads without https.
  5. 7 of 9sites are entirely or almost entirely in English, in cities where many patients speak Spanish.
  6. Only 1 of 11 runs ads on Meta, and we found no Google Ads under any of their names.

None of these fixes is expensive. Meanwhile, the patient who cannot find the service or the booking button on a phone books with the practice down the street.

What you can and cannot publish in healthcare

Healthcare marketing in the US has rules of its own. Two matter most for a practice website:

  1. HIPAA marketing rulethe HHS guidance says the Privacy Rule requires a patient’s written authorization before their health information is used for marketing. A patient story, photo or result goes on the site only with that signed authorization.
  2. FTC rule on reviews and testimonialsin force since October 2024, the FTC final rule bans fake reviews, buying reviews, undisclosed reviews from staff or relatives and hiding negative reviews.

So the content is built on what helps patients decide: each service with the provider who offers it, insurance accepted, how to prepare for a visit and clear answers to common questions. Reviews are written by patients on your Google profile; our job is to help you ask for them and reply without sharing health details.

What a medical practice website needs

  1. One page per servicewho provides it, what it includes, at which location and with which insurance. That is what people search for, more than the practice name.
  2. Insurance up frontaccepted plans in a searchable list, updated when contracts change.
  3. Booking from the phonea visible button on every page, connected to your scheduling system.
  4. English and Spanisha full Spanish version when your patients speak Spanish. We write both languages in house.
  5. Fast on mobilemany patients search for care from their phone and leave if the page is slow.
  6. Medical structured datalocations, hours, phone numbers and services marked up for Google and AI search.

How a practice shows up on Google Maps

Google ranks the map on three criteria it publishes in its Business Profile help: relevance, distance and prominence. For a practice that means one profile per location, the right category (medical clinic, dentist, chiropractor), each service listed, real hours and a routine for replying to reviews.

We cover that work in our SEO service, alongside the pages for each service.

The package for medical practices

For most practices we reviewed, the package that pays off combines two services with published prices:

  1. Professional website, USD 4,500 to 6,500 one timea redesign or new site of up to 15 pages, with services, insurance, locations and booking, full technical SEO and mobile speed.
  2. SEO Foundations, USD 900 to 1,400 per monthGoogle profiles per location, reviews, content per service and a monthly report on calls, bookings and searches.

Practices with many locations or a scheduling integration are quoted separately. Details are on the pricing page.

A health and wellness case

Verigoodlife is Veri Bianco’s health and nutrition coaching brand. She sold programs, recipe books and sessions while coordinating everything by hand. We built a new identity and a WordPress and WooCommerce store that delivers digital products on its own.

After launch, monthly sales grew 800%, the site loads in about 1.2 seconds on mobile and delivery needs no manual steps. The full story is in the Verigoodlife case study.

How we work with healthcare practices

We start with what is costing the practice appointments today and leave the heavier work for when there is data.

  1. Review

    We check your site, your Google profiles and how a patient finds you from a phone, service by service.

  2. Services and insurance

    We map the pages you need, with provider and insurance, within what the rules allow you to publish.

  3. Site and profiles

    We build or redesign the site, connect booking and set up each location properly on Google.

  4. Monthly measurement

    We count calls, booking requests and searches per service, and decide the next step with those numbers.

Questions about marketing for medical practices

The ones practice owners and managers ask us most.

Can you publish patient testimonials on the site?

Only with the patient’s written HIPAA authorization. Without it, we leave patient stories out and focus on reviews patients write themselves on your Google profile, which we help you request and answer.

Can the site connect to our scheduling system?

Yes, if the system offers a booking link or web integration. If it does not, we set up a booking request form that goes straight to your front desk.

How long until we see results?

Technical and Google profile fixes usually show within 4 to 12 weeks. Service pages bring searches gradually and build up over several months of work.

Do you build sites in Spanish too?

Yes. North Blue works in English and Spanish, so we write and maintain both versions of your site.

Can you run the practice’s ads?

Yes. We manage Meta and Google ads, always sending traffic to a page on your own site.

Are you visible in AI search?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot already answer the questions your next customer asks. Find out with a short form whether they mention you, free.
