Dermatology SEO Has Two Funnels – Most Agencies Build Only One

Insurance-billed medical dermatology (acne, eczema, skin cancer screening, biopsies) and cash-pay cosmetic dermatology (Botox, fillers, laser resurfacing, microneedling, peels) are different businesses with different patients, different keyword intents, and different conversion paths. Most SEO agencies build one keyword strategy and bury the other.

Patients searching “dermatologist accepts Aetna [city]” are insurance-driven. They convert quickly but at low margin. Patients searching “best Botox provider [city]” or “laser hair removal cost [city]” are cash-pay. They take 2-3x longer to convert but the lifetime value is 4-10x higher.

Done right, dermatology SEO captures both. The site architecture separates insurance pages from cosmetic pages so Google does not get confused about intent. Cosmetic pages emphasize trust signals (FDA-cleared device names, board certification, before-after gallery). Insurance pages emphasize accepted plans, biopsies, screening protocols.

What is Inside Our Dermatology SEO

Standard monthly engagement, no surprise add-ons.

✓Dual-funnel architecture. Separate site sections for medical dermatology and cosmetic dermatology with distinct keyword and link strategies.

✓Procedure-specific landing pages. Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Restylane, microneedling, IPL, fractional laser, chemical peels, hydrafacial, skin cancer screening, Mohs.

✓FDA-aware content. Every cosmetic page is written so we do not make off-label or non-cleared claims that could trigger an FDA warning letter. This matters for derm specifically.

✓Before-after gallery SEO. Schema markup for medical procedures, image alt text optimized, gallery pages structured for procedure-specific ranking.

✓Google Business Profile optimization. Medical-dermatology vs cosmetic-dermatology category selection, photo and review strategy, Q&A management.

✓HIPAA-compliant tracking. Privacy-first call tracking, BAA-covered analytics, PHI redaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you write FDA-aware copy?

Yes. Every cosmetic procedure page is written so we do not make claims that go beyond what the device or product is FDA-cleared for. We are familiar with what triggers FDA warning letters in cosmetic dermatology specifically (off-label efficacy claims, weight-loss promises on body contouring devices, etc).

Can you handle both medical and cosmetic SEO?

Yes – and they should be handled together with separate site sections. Medical dermatology drives insurance volume with quick conversion. Cosmetic dermatology drives high-LTV cash-pay patients with longer consideration cycles. Both belong on the same site, in distinct sections, with distinct keyword strategies.

Will you build a before-after gallery?

We will optimize an existing gallery for SEO and provide structured-data markup. We do not produce the photography. Most clients have galleries; we make them rank.

How do you handle HIPAA?

Same as our dental SEO – BAA-covered tracking infrastructure, PHI redaction in call data, privacy-first analytics. Every vendor in our stack has a signed BAA.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $1,200/month. Multi-location or multi-provider practices typically run $1,800-$2,500/month. Setup is $1,500-$2,500. First-month money-back guarantee.

Can you work with a derm practice that does medical spa services?

Yes – that is actually our sweet spot. Derm + med spa hybrid practices have the highest patient lifetime value and the most varied search intent. The dual-funnel approach is built for this.
