For plastic surgeons in Akron and Summit County
Akron practices sit between two pulls: Cleveland surgeons about 40 miles north, and patients who would rather stay close to home. The Full Calendar Method helps Akron and Summit County plastic surgeons keep local patients local, and shows which dollar brought each consult in.
The Akron market
A patient in Hudson, Stow, or Cuyahoga Falls can search for a surgeon and see Cleveland practices next to Akron ones. Some will drive north for a bigger name. Your marketing has to give them a reason not to: a surgeon they can see is good, close enough for every follow-up visit.
Akron also has its own large health systems, Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic Akron General, with names everyone in the area knows. An independent practice wins by being specific and personal where a system page can't be.
Where your patients live
Summit County isn't one market, and Google's map results change depending on where the patient is when they search. We find which towns your patients actually come from and build your Google Business Profile, pages, and ad targeting around them.
Where we'd start
On the call we search your top procedure in Akron, live, on Google and in ChatGPT, so you can see who comes up and whether Cleveland practices are showing up in your backyard.
If you move forward, the two-week diagnostic covers your website, Google profile, ads, and CRM, a competitive snapshot of Summit County, and a 90-day plan for your top three procedures. Tracking goes on every channel before any new ad spend.
Honest about it
We don't have an Akron client to point to. Our plastic surgery case study is Mentor Plastic Surgery in Lake County, northeast of Cleveland. It's the same system we'd build for you: tracking first, dedicated procedure pages, then campaigns. There, internet-driven revenue went from 5% of the practice to 70%.

leads in year one, from zero
Zero leads when he came to us. His previous agency had gone out of business without a word. 377 leads in year one. At an $8,000 average procedure and a 50% close rate, that's about $1.5M of surgery from one year of marketing. Internet-driven revenue went from 5% of the practice to 70%. Eight years later he's still a client and the number one plastic surgeon in Lake County.
Next step
Every practice is different, so we cover cost on the call, after we've seen your market. Here's how the work starts.
Full audit, gaps, competitive snapshot, and a 90-day plan for your top three procedures.
One procedure to test the system, three where most practices belong, or five and up with full calendar management.
A booked consult means the patient showed up, not a form fill. We agree on that definition in week one and track it together.
Ad spend is separate and goes straight to Google and Meta in accounts you own.

Alpha Key Digital does not have a plastic surgery client in Akron today. Our plastic surgery case study is Mentor Plastic Surgery in Lake County, and on the call we'll show you that dashboard and how the same system would apply to Summit County.
Targeting Cleveland searches makes sense for an Akron practice only if the numbers support it. Most practices are better served winning the Summit County searches first. If patients from the northern suburbs or Cleveland already come to you, we test it with tracked campaigns before spending much.
We work with plastic surgery practices across Akron and Summit County, including Fairlawn, Hudson, Stow, Cuyahoga Falls, and Green. Ad targeting follows where your patients actually come from, which may include parts of Stark or Medina County.
It depends on how many procedures you want us to fill and how competitive your market is, so we size it on a 20-minute call and set the plan during the two-week diagnostic. Ad spend is separate and goes straight to Google and Meta in accounts you own. Part of our fee is only paid when a patient shows up for a consult.
A booked consult is a patient who booked and showed up. Not a form fill, not a missed call. We agree on the definition in week one and review it together each quarter, and the per-consult part of our fee only applies to consults that meet it.
The Market Check is a free 20-minute call with no pitch. We search your top procedure in Akron live, on Google and in ChatGPT, so you can see who comes up. Then we show you a real client dashboard and one patient story video, and you decide whether this is for you.
