What we'd prioritize for a El Centro practice
Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.
Room to stand out for plastic surgeons
No NPI-registered plastic surgeons list a practice address in El Centro (nationally there is one for every 58,824 residents). That leaves fewer local competitors for a plastic surgeon in search; see our marketing for plastic surgeons.
Spanish-language service pages
75.5% of El Centro residents speak Spanish at home (US 13.6%). We would add Spanish versions of the main service pages, forms and review requests in the website work.
Start local SEO early
Across the seven provider groups on this page, El Centro has 14.9 NPI-registered providers per 10,000 residents, against 22.3 for the US. The thinnest group is plastic surgeons, with none registered. Fewer competitors to outrank: we would start with local SEO.
Put insurance and payment options up front
The median household income in El Centro is $53,082, against $80,734 for the US. We would list plans accepted and financing options on every page of the website.

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!
