Portals & Directories: Connecting You to Prospective Patients

Consumers who are considering refractive or cataract surgery look to the Internet for information about procedures before they look for a surgeon. They almost always begin with generic search terms. The results for these highly competitive search terms are limited, almost exclusively, to large educational sites which are viewed by the search engines and by your prospective patients as providing credible information. Surgeons listed on quality educational portals receive several benefits, including expanded branding opportunities for the practice, the prestige of being associated with quality information and other elite surgeons, and most importantly, being found for 80% of the searches that you would otherwise miss.

Visibility & Rankings: You Can Have it All

Most medical searches begin with generic or "core" search terms such as "LASIK," "LASIK cost," "refractive surgery" and "cataract surgery." It is almost impossible for an individual practice to be found for one these searches.
