Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Newton practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. Lead with elective and cash-pay services

    The median household income in Newton is $190,304, against $80,734 for the US. Elective work earns its own pages and budget, with Google and Facebook ads.

  2. Service pages that answer the questions

    81.1% of Newton residents aged 25 and older hold a bachelor's degree or higher, against 35.7% for the US. Detailed treatment pages come first, and the SEO work builds on them.

  3. A crowded field for dermatologists

    2.4 times the US number of NPI-registered dermatologists per resident (one per 7,562 residents). A dermatologist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for dermatologists.

  4. Reviews and your Google Business Profile first

    One NPI-registered dentist per 769 residents in Newton (US: one per 1,340). We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
