SEO for Med Spas

Foundgrove's published ongoing retainers start at $2,500 per month and are month-to-month. The separate Med-Spa Search Opportunity Sprint has no public price or timeline; both are confirmed in writing before work begins. Start with the free Search Demand & Booking Opportunity Map to define the public-surface gap before deciding whether either paid path fits.

Ask for a written scope, named public surfaces, treatment and location architecture, measurement boundaries, and evidence labelled by what it actually measures. A credible provider should distinguish organic clicks from consultations, bookings, and revenue; explain when private access is required; avoid ranking guarantees; and state what is excluded before work begins.

The phrases usually describe the same search discipline. The useful distinction is not the spelling; it is the intent being mapped. A practice may need treatment pages, location coverage, public business-profile observations, booking-path review, and carefully defined measurement. The exact mix should follow its confirmed treatments, service areas, and public competitors.

SEO and Google Ads are different acquisition surfaces and should be compared with the practice's own measurement, not a generic forecast. Paid search can buy placement while organic visibility is earned across pages, listings, and search results. Foundgrove's opportunity map identifies the public organic gap; it does not predict traffic, leads, bookings, or revenue from either channel.

The public visibility review can note relevant public profiles and observable gaps when they are in the confirmed scope. The Med-Spa Search Opportunity Sprint does not include profile publication or review solicitation, and Foundgrove does not claim a review program or vendor integration that is not part of the written engagement.

A booking experience should be tested rather than judged by vendor name. The public-surface review follows the path from a listing or treatment page to the booking link and records reproducible friction. It does not assume the cause, measure private booking completion, or promise that a particular technical change will improve rankings or bookings.

No provider can guarantee a ranking. Start by confirming the treatment and local intent, reviewing the current result set, comparing named public competitors, and checking whether existing treatment and location pages overlap or leave gaps. The resulting architecture should reflect real services and service areas, not create unsupported location pages solely to chase a query.

The Federal Trade Commission publishes general health-products advertising guidance, including substantiation principles. Foundgrove can keep public claims and source boundaries visible, but the guidance is not a safe harbor and Foundgrove does not provide a legal, medical, or regulatory compliance opinion. Practices should obtain qualified advice for their specific obligations.

There is no responsible universal result date, because the starting site, market, scope, implementation, and search results differ. Foundgrove confirms the paid sprint's timing in writing before work begins, while ongoing retainers remain month-to-month. Reporting should identify dated observations and implemented work without turning them into a ranking, booking, or revenue forecast.

Not automatically. A treatment may merit a dedicated page when it represents a distinct service and search intent, while closely related topics may belong together. The decision should follow the practice's actual offering, the public result set, and cannibalization review. The opportunity map makes that architecture explicit instead of prescribing pages by template.

They are separate public surfaces. A Google Business Profile can display business information and supported links, including an appointment link, while social platforms serve their own audiences. Foundgrove reviews the public profile as part of the search journey but does not present an appointment-link feature as a ranking factor or guaranteed booking source.

A new practice can still establish a public baseline: confirmed treatments and service areas, current pages, business-profile surfaces, named competitors, and a reachable booking path. That diagnostic can prioritize work, but it cannot predict rankings or commercial outcomes. Review collection and profile publication are outside the paid opportunity sprint unless separately scoped.
