Our plan

What we'd prioritize for a Wauwatosa practice

Chosen by fixed rules from the figures above.

  1. Stand out among the plastic surgeons already here

    20.6 times the US number of NPI-registered plastic surgeons per resident (one per 2,862 residents). A clear focus and real reviews matter for a plastic surgeon here; see our marketing for plastic surgeons.

  2. Start with reviews and the Google Business Profile

    One NPI-registered dentist per 468 residents in Wauwatosa (US: one per 1,340). That is 2.9 times the national rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.

  3. Service pages that answer the questions

    64.0% of Wauwatosa 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.

  4. Put elective and cash-pay services first

    The median household income in Wauwatosa is $101,138, against $80,734 for the US. Elective work earns its own pages and budget, with Google and Facebook ads.
