When are You Paying Too Much for
Web Services?

Most companies offering packages for plastic surgery practice web site design and development typically charge between $5,000 to $6,500, (some more, a few slightly less).  Most purport to include search engine optimization and some social media integration.     While some of these sites may be pleasing to the eye, they are often "boiler plate" or "cookie-cutter" versions.  Such sites usually fall short in uniquely separating the surgeon from his or her competitors.  Additionally, I have often found that their SEO is basic and not sufficient to organically produce upward momentum on major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing.  Furthermore, these packaged price offers barely scratch the surface of providing what is necessary in effective social media marketing.    

I recommend that in order to achieve a productive result in website design and SEO, surgeons are better off selecting a knowledgeable consultant whose company charges by the hour with an advanced estimate of costs.  This provides sufficient incentive for the design and optimization team to effectively and uniquely individualize your website without the pressure of having to fall within the package restrictions.    Having said, this you should insist the consultant cap his company’s charges.   For web design and initial SEO, you should expect to pay not more than $3,000.  In fact, based upon a competitive hourly rate and reasonable revisions, your final invoice may be much less.  

Another important advantage is to find a consultant  who is knowledgeable and experienced in aesthetic practice marketing who will spend the time and effort to become acquainted with the strengths and weaknesses of your practice.  This will enable he and his team to create a unique solution for your web site and Internet needs.
