Orthopedic marketing · Patient Acquisition System
Condition and procedure pages, orthopedic SEO, targeted Google Ads and referral content, built as one system for orthopedic and sports medicine practices and tracked to surgical consults.
Channels in the system
Orthopedic patients often start with a symptom, not a surgeon: knee pain on the stairs, a shoulder that won’t lift, a back that went out. Large health systems dominate those searches by default.
Independent practices win by answering the condition question better, ranking locally, and making the path from symptom to consultation obvious.
Orthopedic practices get more patients by publishing condition and procedure pages that answer patients’ questions, ranking locally for those conditions, running targeted ads for high-value procedures, building physician referral content, and tracking calls through to surgical consultations.
Orthopedics has some of the highest-value procedures in outpatient care, and some of the hardest attribution. A patient may read three condition pages, call twice and book through a referral.
Without a system, practices can’t tell which channel produced last month’s joint replacements.
High-value procedures, but primary care sends patients to the hospital system down the road.
Large systems rank for “knee pain” and “hip replacement” by default.
Nobody can say which marketing produced a surgical case.
Built around the orthopedic journey: symptom, research, consultation, imaging, surgery.
Knee, hip, spine, shoulder and sports-injury pages that explain options from conservative care to surgery.
Local rankings for conditions and procedures, with surgeon and location pages for each office.
Campaigns for joint replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff and spine consultations.
Referral guides, fast-track scheduling and outcome summaries for referring physicians.
Consults and surgeries sent back to ad platforms as offline conversions with click IDs only.
Cost per consult and per surgical case by location and procedure.
Each procedure gets a page, a campaign where it makes sense, and a line in the report.
Procedure searches such as “knee replacement surgeon near me” convert fastest, but most surgical patients start with a condition search months earlier. Practices that publish strong condition pages, then retarget and nurture readers within platform rules, capture both stages.
| Search stage | Example search | What wins it |
|---|---|---|
| Symptom | “knee pain when climbing stairs” | Condition page with causes, conservative options and when to see a specialist |
| Diagnosis research | “torn meniscus treatment options” | Treatment-options page reviewed by your surgeons |
| Procedure research | “hip replacement recovery time” | Procedure page with recovery timeline, FAQs and surgeon video |
| Surgeon choice | “best orthopedic surgeon near me” | Surgeon pages, reviews, credentials and location pages |
| Ready to book | “ACL surgeon consultation” | Google Ads to a consultation page with fast scheduling |
We map your procedures to these stages before writing a single page.
We haven’t published a orthopedic case study yet, and we won’t invent one. Here is the closest verified proof: the same system, tracking and team, in a neighboring specialty.
Procedure-level Google Ads, a dedicated consult page and tracking that separated calls, forms and booked consults cut cost per conversion from $141.68 to $61.12 while conversions grew from 34 to 99.
Including healthcare and wellness accounts such as a plastic surgery practice and a pharmacy, with 9 server-side containers, Meta Conversions API, call tracking and offline conversions.
Orthopedic content discusses surgery, outcomes and risk, so every page is reviewed by your surgeons and avoids guaranteed outcomes.
Device and implant brand names, outcome statistics and patient testimonials are checked against platform policies and FTC endorsement rules.
This is how we build. It is not legal advice; confirm your setup with your own counsel.
| Rule or risk | What we do |
|---|---|
| Outcome claims | Outcome data cited with source and date; no guarantees of pain relief or recovery time. |
| Google Healthcare & medicines policy | Ad copy, keywords and landing pages reviewed before launch; certification handled for restricted categories. |
| Meta health & wellness rules | No targeting by health condition and no copy that implies a viewer’s condition or negative self-perception. |
| HIPAA and online tracking | No pixels on authenticated pages; a server-side container strips identifiers; offline conversions send click IDs, not PHI. |
| Forms, chat and booking | HIPAA-eligible tools with a signed Business Associate Agreement, encrypted and access-controlled. |
| Reviews and testimonials | Patient consent on file, no PHI in replies, and FTC endorsement rules followed for any featured result. |
No orthopedic case study yet, so here is the plan and the baseline we measure from.
Recorded audit of your ads, Maps, website, tracking and follow-up; baseline cost per new patient for joint replacement, sports and spine consultations.
Calls, forms and booked consultations tracked server-side, with no PHI sent to ad platforms.
Landing pages for your highest-value treatments, with proof, pricing context and short intake.
Search and Maps first, then social, with policy checks on every ad and page.
Weekly tests and a monthly review of cost per new patient by treatment; budget follows booked consultations.
We set a measurement baseline on day one, so progress is visible every week.
