Reviews and your Google Business Profile first

Set the practice apart from nearby dental offices
In King County, 27.8% of private-sector ambulatory health care establishments are dentist offices (US 18.5%). A dental practice here needs one thing it is known for. See our dental practice marketing.
Room to stand out for optometrists
NPI-registered optometrists per resident in Burien are at 0.5 times the US rate, one for every 10,372 residents. Fewer local competitors in search for a optometrist. See our marketing for optometrists.
A crowded field for chiropractors
1.5 times the US number of NPI-registered chiropractors per resident (one per 2,255 residents). A chiropractor here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for chiropractors.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve had a great experience working with Medi-Edge. They helped design and build our website and have also been handling our SEO and online advertising. I’ve been very satisfied with both the quality of their work and the results so far. Kellen, the owner, has been especially great to work with. He’s been very responsive, helpful, and personally involved whenever I’ve had questions or needed assistance. It’s been nice working with a company where the owner is accessible and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the service. Overall, the entire team has been easy to work with and understands the needs of a dental practice. I would definitely recommend Medi-Edge to other dental /medical practices looking for help with their website, SEO, and digital marketing.
As a fairly new business going into our 5th year I can say this company truly walks it like they talk it. There are many companies promising new companies the stars and the moon and as a new business you have to take risks and invest. If your looking stop and sign up with this company, constant communication, monthly updates, and can always reach them whenever you need an update to your website or help with your google business. I'm glad we found this gem and we always keep it real at IMED DTLA so if your a new business this is your sign. Not only are the prices reasonable the work is amazing and efficient!
I’ve had a great experience with media-edge marketing Kellen and his team are very responsive and always get to my requests in a timely manner. They are also kind, flexible and seem to care about my business and success which is important to me as a new small business owner. Looking forward to growing with them!
