Local healthcare landscape in Northampton

The city's Hazard Mitigation Plan lists it on Elm Street under medical facilities, alongside the US Veterans (VA) Medical Center on North Main Street, and the VA's own page gives that address as Leeds, MA. The same plan says the Mill River, a source of water power, led to the development of the villages of Florence and Leeds, and that city water is available to Florence, Bay State, Leeds, Village Hill and Northampton.

What we'd prioritize for a Northampton practice
Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.
A crowded field for optometrists
Northampton has 4.1 times the US number of NPI-registered optometrists per resident, one for every 1,294 residents. A optometrist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for optometrists.
Reviews and your Google Business Profile first
One NPI-registered dentist per 621 residents in Northampton (US: one per 1,340). That is 2.2 times the national rate. The Google Business Profile comes first, then review management.
Detailed treatment pages first
62.7% of Northampton residents aged 25 and older hold a bachelor's degree or higher, against 35.7% for the US. We would write detailed treatment pages first and build the SEO work on them.
Easy-to-read pages for Medicare-age services
20.4% of Northampton residents are 65 or older, against 17.2% for the US. We would give Medicare-age services their own pages, set in large type with the phone number one tap away (website design).

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!
