What we'd prioritize for a Westerville practice
Picked from the figures above by fixed rules.
A crowded field for dermatologists
Westerville has 13.1 times the US number of NPI-registered dermatologists per resident, one for every 1,363 residents. A clear focus and real reviews matter for a dermatologist here; see our marketing for dermatologists.
Keep the patients you already have
Westerville had 1,024 fewer residents in July 2025 than in April 2020 (−2.6%). With fewer newcomers, patient texting comes first, so existing patients keep coming back.
Start with reviews and the Google Business Profile
One NPI-registered dentist per 471 residents in Westerville (US: one per 1,340). That works out to 2.8 times the US rate. We would start with the Google Business Profile and review management.
Service pages that answer the questions
58.0% of Westerville 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.

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!
