How is this different from a normal SEO agency?

Agencies bill hours. We bill outcomes — 20 to 100+ medically reviewed pages every month at one transparent monthly price.

Do you actually rebuild my website?

Yes. A practicing MD founder oversees a new, conversion-optimized site published to your own GitHub repo. You own the code and domain and can leave anytime.

Is the content medically accurate?

Yes. Every page is reviewed for medical accuracy before it publishes, with optional provider and treatment copy review.

How long until I see results?

New patient calls typically in 30–60 days, meaningful ranking lifts in 60–120 days, compounding from month four.

OB/GYN

OB/GYN local SEO decides who the pregnant patient calls first. Most practices never rank in the map pack that matters.

A newly pregnant patient, a woman due for her well-woman exam, and a patient quietly searching about fibroids all start the same way: a local search and three names on a map. Local SEO is whether your practice is one of them.

When a woman searches "obgyn near me," "gynecologist accepting new patients [city]," or "fibroid doctor near me," Google answers with a map and three practices — the local pack. That pack is chosen before she ever opens a website, and in OB/GYN it can decide a relationship that runs from a first pregnancy through perimenopause and beyond. If your Google Business Profile is thin, your reviews are stale, or you have no page tying your practice to the specific towns you serve, you're invisible at the exact moment she's choosing. The free Surge Report™ shows you — for your own practice — where you rank in the local pack for the queries that fill an OB/GYN schedule, what's holding your profile back, and the illustrative monthly revenue walking to the practice ranked above you. Below is the local SEO playbook we'd run, and you can book a strategy call once you've seen your report.

Why the map pack decides your new-patient volume

Most OB/GYN searches happen on a phone, and on a phone the three-practice local pack fills the screen before a single organic result appears. A pregnant patient looking for a provider, a woman overdue for her well-woman exam, and a patient researching heavy bleeding all tap one of those three map results — usually the one with the most reviews and a profile that clearly says it handles her concern. If your Google Business Profile isn't optimized for obstetrics and gynecology, or you're pinned to the wrong category, you never enter that consideration set. Ranking below the fold in organic results doesn't matter when the decision is made in the map above it.

Google Business Profile and reviews are the trust signal for women's health

Choosing an OB/GYN is one of the most personal decisions in medicine, and reviews carry outsized weight — a patient wants proof that other women felt heard, safe, and unrushed. Google rewards profiles that are complete and active: the right primary category (Obstetrician-Gynecologist), secondary categories for the gyn services you offer, accurate hours, the hospitals you deliver at, real photos, and a steady stream of recent reviews. A practice with 12 old reviews loses the map-pack slot to one with 180 recent ones, even when the clinical care is identical. We build a HIPAA-safe review engine that invites patients to review after non-sensitive visits, plus profile optimization that tells Google exactly what you treat.

Local service-area pages capture the towns you actually serve

One homepage can't rank in every community your patients drive from. The practice that wins has a dedicated page for each service line in each town: "prenatal care in [town]," "well-woman exam [town]," "fibroid treatment near [town]," "perimenopause specialist [town]," "minimally invasive hysterectomy [region]." Each page carries local signals — the town name, nearby landmarks, the delivering hospital, provider credentials, an embedded map, and local reviews — that a generic "Services" page can never send. For a full-service OB/GYN practice covering several surrounding communities, that's typically 25 to 50 pages, each tuned to a specific high-intent local query and each feeding the same booking flow.

Frequently asked

How is local SEO different from just having a nice OB/GYN website?

A nice website helps once a patient reaches it — but most never do, because the choice happens in Google's map pack first. Local SEO is what gets you into that three-practice pack: an optimized Google Business Profile, recent reviews, correct categories and hospital affiliations, and location-specific pages for the towns you serve. Without it, a beautiful site sits on page two while the patient books one of the three practices on the map.

Are patient reviews really that important for a women's health practice?

Yes — arguably more than in any other specialty. OB/GYN care is deeply personal, and a patient scans reviews for reassurance that other women felt respected and unhurried before she'll call. Review count and recency are also a direct ranking factor for the local pack. Surge sets up a HIPAA-safe system that invites reviews after appropriate visits, so both your ranking and your credibility keep building without anyone on staff chasing it.

How do I find out where my practice ranks locally right now?

Run the free Surge Report™. In about 60 seconds it shows where you sit in the local pack for the searches that fill an OB/GYN schedule across your city and nearby towns, what's holding your Google Business Profile back, and the service-area pages you're missing — with an illustrative estimate of the monthly revenue it's costing. It's free and requires no sales call; once you've seen it, you can book a strategy call to map out the fastest wins.
