What we'd prioritize for a Norton Shores practice
Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.
An opening for plastic surgeons
No NPI-registered plastic surgeons list a practice address in Norton Shores (nationally there is one for every 58,824 residents). Fewer local competitors in search for a plastic surgeon. See our marketing for plastic surgeons.
Reviews and your Google Business Profile first
Norton Shores has one NPI-registered dentist for every 534 residents, against one per 1,340 nationally. That works out to 2.5 times the US rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
Stand out among the physical therapists already here
2.4 times the US number of NPI-registered physical therapists per resident (one per 492 residents). A physical therapist here needs a clear focus and real reviews: see our marketing for physical therapists.
Medicare-age services and an easy-to-read site
22.9% of Norton Shores residents are 65 or older, against 17.2% for the US. Medicare-age services get their own pages, with large type and 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!
