Our team evaluated 50+ agencies on their ability to provide effective marketing services to plastic surgery providers, using an algorithm that consists of each agency’s:
- Notable Clients (35%): A history of working with notable plastic surgery clients is the strongest indicator of an agency’s ability to deliver marketing results. Where plastic surgery clients were not publicly shared, we list clients in the broader aesthetic medicine sector.
- Leadership Experience (15%): Leadership sets the direction and culture of an agency, and we assign higher scores to agencies with C-suites and other high-level management who come from both a marketing and medical practice background.
- Company Size (10%): Agencies that have grown to a larger size have demonstrated their ability to create long-lasting client relationships built on successful campaigns.
- Year Founded (10%): Google updates their algorithm regularly, and market conditions have a strong impact on buyer and searcher behavior. Older marketing agencies have experience adapting to these changing conditions.
- Headquarters (5%): Location correlates somewhat with access to a deeper talent pool, both in marketing and when it comes to plastic surgery experience. However, we consider this to be the weakest indicator.
- Average Reviews (25%): Publicly viewable client reviews on 3rd party websites make up the second most important factor in our ranking, with greater weight given to reviews from clients in the plastic surgery industry.
