Orthopedic marketing

Marketing for orthopedic surgeons

Social Prizm runs PPC and Meta Ads campaigns for orthopedic practices. Prof. Dr. Yawar Anis, a consultant orthopedic surgeon, has been an active client for over 3 years. We manage his Google Ads, Facebook Ads and social media. Orthopedic patients who need elective procedures research surgeons online. We make sure your practice is what they find.

Orthopedic patients research before they book

Orthopedic surgery sits in two markets at once. Emergency referrals (fractures, acute injuries) come through hospital channels and physician referrals, and marketing has limited influence there. But elective procedures are different. Joint replacement, arthroscopy, sports medicine, rotator cuff repair - these patients have time to research. They search for surgeons online, compare credentials, read reviews and check what their insurance covers before they pick up the phone.

That research period is where marketing works. The practice that shows up in the search results, has credible content about the procedure and has real patient reviews is the one that gets the call. PPC captures the patients who are ready ("knee replacement surgeon near me"). SEO and content build the presence that gets found during the research phase.

What we run for orthopedic practices

Google Ads management

2

Social media management

Patient education content, surgeon profiles, procedure explainers and practice updates across Facebook and Instagram. For orthopedic practices, the content that works is educational: what to expect from a knee replacement, how long recovery takes, when to consider surgery versus PT.

3

Local SEO

Google Business Profile management, procedure-page optimization and local link building. Most orthopedic patients search locally because they need a surgeon they can visit for pre-op and follow-up appointments.

Orthopedic marketing questions

What PPC keywords work best for orthopedic practices?

Procedure-specific terms convert best: "knee replacement surgeon [city]", "ACL surgery near me", "orthopedic surgeon accepting new patients". Broad terms like "orthopedic doctor" have high volume but lower intent. We start with the procedures your practice wants to grow and build the campaigns around those.

How do orthopedic patients find their surgeon online?

For elective procedures, the path is usually: Google search for the procedure or symptoms, reading 2-3 surgeon websites, checking reviews (Google and Healthgrades), verifying insurance acceptance, then calling. Your website, your Google Business Profile and your reviews all need to be strong.

Should an orthopedic practice invest in SEO or ads first?

Ads deliver patients faster. SEO takes 3 to 6 months but compounds over time. If you need patients this month, start with Google Ads. If you are building for the next year, invest in SEO alongside ads. Most practices benefit from both running together.
