Local healthcare landscape in Hobbs
Covenant Health Hobbs Hospital is located on Lovington Highway in Hobbs, and its page says the hospital moved into its building on September 28, 2022. Its listed departments include Diagnostic Imaging, Emergency Department, Orthopedics, Surgical Services and Women's Center, and the page shows it open 24 hours. The City of Hobbs comprehensive plan says Hobbs was established in 1907 and was actually three 'towns' in its early growth years. The same plan names a small residential area known as the Taylor Ranch Addition and an area to the south of Carlsbad Highway known as the Gibbs Addition. The City of Hobbs Planning Board agenda for a rescheduled meeting on June 24, 2025 lists the Country View Subdivision and the Liberty Crossing Subdivision.

What we'd prioritize for a Hobbs practice
Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.
An opening for dermatologists
None of the NPI-registered dermatologists list a practice address in Hobbs; nationally there is one for every 17,857 residents. That leaves fewer local competitors for a dermatologist in search; see our marketing for dermatologists.
Spanish-language service pages
39.7% of Hobbs 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.
Get into local search early
Across the seven provider groups on this page, Hobbs has 13.7 NPI-registered providers per 10,000 residents, against 22.3 for the US. The thinnest group is dermatologists, 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 Hobbs is $64,021, against $80,734 for the US. Plans accepted and financing belong 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!
