Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Friendswood practice

Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.

  1. Room to stand out for plastic surgeons

    No NPI-registered plastic surgeons list a practice address in Friendswood (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.

  2. Stand out among the optometrists already here

    Friendswood has 2.2 times the US number of NPI-registered optometrists per resident, one for every 2,431 residents. A clear focus and real reviews matter for a optometrist here; see our marketing for optometrists.

  3. Lead with elective and cash-pay services

    The median household income in Friendswood is $126,508, against $80,734 for the US. Elective work earns its own pages and budget, with Google and Facebook ads.

  4. Detailed treatment pages first

    Among Friendswood residents 25 and older, 52.7% hold a bachelor's degree or higher (US 35.7%). Detailed treatment pages come first, and the SEO work builds on them.
