For plastic surgeons in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County
Cleveland patients choose between private practices and two major hospital systems, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals. The Full Calendar Method helps independent plastic surgeons in Greater Cleveland get found, get chosen, and see which dollar brought each consult in.
The Cleveland market
In Cleveland, a patient searching for a facelift or a breast augmentation can see hospital system pages next to private practices. Those systems have large marketing teams and names everyone in town knows. You won't outspend them, and you don't need to.
An independent practice wins on what a large system can't easily offer: the same surgeon from consult to follow-up, a smaller and more personal office, and a team that knows the patient by name. Your marketing has to make that difference obvious in the first few seconds.
Where your patients live
Google's local results depend heavily on where the patient is standing when they search. A practice in Beachwood and a practice in Westlake are not competing for the same map results. So we start by finding which suburbs your patients actually come from, then build your Google Business Profile, pages, and ad targeting around those areas instead of the whole county.
Where we'd start
On the call we search your top procedure in your part of Cleveland, live, on Google and in ChatGPT. You'll see exactly who comes up and where you stand.
If you move forward, the two-week diagnostic audits your website, Google profile, ads, and CRM, takes a competitive snapshot of your part of the metro, and gives you a 90-day plan for your top three procedures. Tracking goes on every channel before any new ad spend.

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.

A private plastic surgery practice in Cleveland competes by being the clearest answer for specific searches: a named procedure in a named suburb, your surgeons' names, and reviews that describe the experience. Add a well-built Google Business Profile and patient story video, and you give patients a reason to choose a person over a system.
We work with plastic surgery practices anywhere in Greater Cleveland, from the east side suburbs like Beachwood and Solon to the west side like Westlake and Rocky River. Targeting is built around the areas your patients actually come from, not the whole 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 Cleveland 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.
