What we'd prioritize for a Hackensack practice
Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.
A crowded field for podiatrists
7.3 times the US number of NPI-registered podiatrists per resident (one per 2,017 residents). A podiatrist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for podiatrists.
Reviews and your Google Business Profile first
One NPI-registered dentist per 390 residents in Hackensack (US: one per 1,340). That works out to 3.4 times the US rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
Service pages in Spanish
Spanish is spoken at home by 32.9% of Hackensack residents, against 13.6% nationally. Main service pages, forms and review requests get a Spanish version, as part of the website work.
Set the practice apart from nearby dental offices
In Bergen County, 22.7% of private-sector ambulatory health care establishments are dentist offices (US 18.5%). Here a dental practice should be known for one thing; see our dental practice marketing.

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.
