    What we do

    See how you're ranking

    Patients researching cosmetic procedures are thorough. They compare clinics carefully, read extensively, and make decisions slowly. The clinics appearing consistently at the top of Google throughout that research process win a disproportionate share of consultations. Search for your clinic below and see how you compare to competitors on traffic, rankings, backlinks and site speed using real site data.
    We use Ahrefs for keyword rankings and backlink data, PageSpeed Insights for site performance, and a direct crawl of each clinic’s website. Traffic figures are modelled from keyword rankings and estimated click-through rates rather than pulled directly from Google Analytics. They will not match your internal data exactly, but because every clinic in the tool is measured the same way, they give a reliable picture of where you stand relative to your competitors.
    The cosmetic surgery sector is broad and we will not have every clinic indexed. Get in touch and we will add you or any competitor you want included, or run you a free audit that looks at your site and theirs in as much detail as you need.
    Cosmetic surgery is a wide field and the right comparison depends on what your clinic specialises in. A practice focused on facial procedures is not really competing with one built around body contouring, even if they are in the same city. Compare against clinics offering similar procedures, targeting similar patient demographics, and operating in the same region. If you operate across multiple locations or offer an unusually broad range of treatments, a full audit will give you a more granular picture than this tool alone.
    Domain rating is a score out of 100 from Ahrefs that measures the strength of a website’s backlink profile. In cosmetic surgery, this is shaped by a very specific set of sources: coverage in lifestyle and beauty press, mentions in procedure guides on health publications, links from professional bodies like BAAPS and BAPRAS, and features in regional news. Clinics with strong domain ratings have typically built them through a combination of surgeon reputation, media coverage and long-term investment in content. It is one of the harder metrics to close quickly, but understanding the gap is the first step.
    Patients considering surgery are doing a lot of reading before they book a consultation. Procedure pages, before and after galleries, surgeon profiles, patient stories. That is a lot of content to load, and clinics with poorly optimised sites often struggle with exactly this, particularly on mobile. Slow load times push people away before they have had a chance to see what makes your clinic different. Google also uses page speed as a ranking signal, so a sluggish site is costing you visibility at the same time as it is costing you conversions. In a sector where the average patient value is high, that is worth taking seriously.

    SEO ROI calculator

    Cosmetic procedures are high value and hard won. SEO puts your practice in front of patients who are actively researching treatments. Put your numbers in below and see what a consistent increase in organic traffic could mean for your revenue.
    Search for your practice in the box at the top to pull in your estimated monthly organic traffic. Then add your average monthly enquiries from the website, your typical revenue per procedure, and the traffic increase you want to target. The calculator works out how long it would take for the additional revenue to cover the cost of an SEO campaign.
    The calculator uses your own inputs alongside projected growth figures based on how SEO typically performs for plastic surgery and cosmetic practices. Procedure values in this sector tend to be high, which means the break even point often arrives earlier than clients expect. The projections are structured estimates rather than guarantees, but the model is based on consistent assumptions and what we actually see with cosmetic and surgical clients.
    Estimated traffic figures come from Ahrefs and Semrush, which model organic search visibility using keyword rankings and click-through rates. If you have access to Google Analytics or Search Console for your practice website, entering your verified monthly traffic figure will give you a more precise result than the estimate.
    Cosmetic surgery sits in what Google classifies as YMYL territory, meaning Your Money Your Life, a category of search where Google holds content to a much higher standard before it will rank it. That means the quality of your surgeon profiles, your procedure content, and your credentials matter enormously, not just for patients but for Google itself. Practices that invest in genuinely authoritative content around procedures like rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty and breast augmentation, written to the standard Google expects, tend to build rankings that are far more durable than those built on thin or generic content. The calculator shows the month where cumulative revenue overtakes cumulative campaign cost.
    A modest uplift might involve improving your existing procedure pages, strengthening your surgeon profiles with the kind of credentials and detail that builds both patient trust and Google authority, and making sure your Google Business Profile is working hard for local searches. A more ambitious target means building out content across your full procedure list, earning coverage in publications like Tatler, Vogue and the national press, and competing seriously for the high value terms that currently send patients to the large clinic groups like The Harley Medical Group and Transform. Our pricing for plastic surgery SEO is straightforward and you can get a clear sense of it when you run your numbers above.

    Cosmetic surgery SEO FAQs

    Yes, and the searches in this space are about as high intent as it gets. Someone searching for “rhinoplasty surgeon in London” or “breast augmentation Manchester” has typically been researching for weeks or months before they type that query. They are not looking for general information at that point. They are looking for the right surgeon. Showing up consistently for those searches, with a website that immediately builds confidence and trust, generates enquiries from people who are genuinely ready to book a consultation. The challenge in cosmetic surgery is not generating clicks. It is converting the right kind of traffic, and good SEO addresses both.
    Each procedure you offer deserves its own dedicated page, written with enough depth and clinical authority that Google is confident serving it to someone researching that specific treatment. A page covering every procedure you offer in a few bullet points will rank for none of them. A page focused entirely on rhinoplasty, covering the procedure itself, recovery, what to look for in a surgeon, and what realistic outcomes look like, gives Google exactly what it needs to rank you for the searches that matter. It also gives a prospective patient exactly what they need to feel confident enough to get in touch.
    Before and after searches are some of the most valuable in cosmetic surgery because they indicate a patient who is seriously considering a procedure and trying to visualise their own results. Ranking for them requires a combination of genuinely good visual content, properly structured image optimisation, and surrounding copy that gives Google enough context to understand what it is looking at. Many practices have strong before and after galleries that are almost invisible to search engines because the images have never been properly optimised. Getting that right is often one of the quickest wins available on a cosmetic surgery website.
    Trust in cosmetic surgery is built through every detail of your online presence, not just one or two elements. Your qualifications, accreditations and professional memberships need to be prominent and easy to verify. Your content needs to be honest, balanced and clearly written by someone with genuine clinical knowledge. Your reviews need to be recent, specific and spread across multiple platforms. And your website itself needs to feel like the online presence of a surgeon who takes their work seriously. Google’s quality guidelines hold medical websites to a higher standard than most industries, and rightly so. Meeting that standard is not just good for rankings. It is good for patients.
    The most common reason cosmetic surgery practices do not have enough reviews is that asking feels awkward in such a personal context. We help you build a process that makes it feel natural rather than transactional, reaching out to patients at the right moment after a positive outcome with a simple, direct route to leaving a review. We also make sure your presence is optimised across the platforms that matter most in your sector, Google, Trustpilot and RealSelf, so that every review you collect is working as hard as possible. A consistent stream of genuine recent reviews in a high trust industry like yours is one of the strongest competitive advantages you can build.
    Yes, with the right approach. Explicit written consent is essential, and the way that consent is obtained and documented matters. Many practices already have strong results they could be sharing but have never formalised the process for doing so compliantly. Done properly, patient case studies are some of the most powerful content a cosmetic surgery practice can publish. They combine the trust signals of a genuine review with the depth of a procedure page, and they rank well because they answer exactly the kind of questions prospective patients are searching for. We can help you build a consent process that works and a content format that does justice to your results.
    International patients searching for UK surgeons tend to use very specific search terms that combine procedure, location and often a quality signal like “best” or “top rated.” They are also doing significantly more research than domestic patients because the stakes of travelling for surgery are higher. Content that addresses their specific concerns, travel and recovery logistics, what the consultation process looks like remotely, how to verify a surgeon’s credentials from abroad, performs particularly well with this audience. It also signals to Google that your practice is genuinely equipped to serve international patients rather than just mentioning it as an afterthought on a general about page.
