Be the dermatologist patients & AI recommend

Dermatology is the single most-searched medical specialty. We make your board-certified expertise visible across “near me” search, the Map pack and AI answers — for both insurance-billed medical visits and cash-pay cosmetics.

How dermatologist patients search

Built for how your patients actually find care

Dermatology runs two businesses on one site: insurance medical care (acne, skin cancer) and cash-pay cosmetics (Botox, lasers) that competes with cheaper med spas. Patients self-refer and search conditions directly — and those treatment questions now trigger an AI Overview almost every time. Winning them takes dermatologist-authored, medically-reviewed content with real E-E-A-T.

The challenge in your specialty

Medical authority vs the med spa next door

Your cosmetic services compete head-on with cheaper, less-credentialed med spas, while your insurance-covered medical care can get buried beneath the Botox specials. We build separate, deeply-developed page clusters for medical and cosmetic derm — and put your board certification, physician bios and medically-reviewed content front and center, which is the exact E-E-A-T signal generative engines weight most for skin-health topics.

Dermatology Practices SEO & GEO in your city

We help practices like yours get found by patients in major markets across the country.

Common questions

Should my cosmetic and medical content live on the same site — does that hurt SEO?

One authoritative domain is stronger, but the two need distinct, well-built page clusters so search engines and AI map each query to the right intent. Mixing “Botox specials” into skin-cancer pages dilutes both topical authority and your MD trust signal.

How do I get AI to recommend a board-certified dermatologist over a med spa?

Generative engines weight credentials and authoritativeness heavily for skin-health topics, so we mark up your physician bios, board certifications and medically-reviewed articles explicitly. Med spas usually lack that MD-level E-E-A-T — which is your structural advantage.

A lot of my patients self-refer. Does content really drive bookings?

Yes — condition questions like “cystic acne treatment” and “is this mole dangerous” are exactly where patients begin, and they now see AI answers first. Dermatologist-authored condition pages get you cited there and funnel readers to book.

Can you help with cosmetic demand without over-promising results?

We build educational treatment pages and before/after proof that stay compliant while still ranking and converting. The goal is informed, qualified consults — not claims that invite scrutiny.

Every strategy is tailored to how patients search for your specific type of care.
