Why Growth Stalls
Why hand surgery practices leave high-value cases on the table.
Being a skilled surgeon doesn't fill next month's schedule. These are the four leaks we plug.
-
Generic ortho marketing misses what hand patients search
Hand and upper extremity surgery gets folded into general orthopedics by most agencies, so campaigns chase "orthopedic surgeon near me" instead of the condition names your actual patients type.
-
Your hand therapists send patients both ways
Post-op patients go to hand therapy for splinting and range-of-motion work, and therapists send new patients back to you.
-
You can't price a carpal tunnel release against a replant
A carpal tunnel release, a trigger finger injection, and a digit replantation are wildly different in chair time and reimbursement, but most practices track them as one "new patient" number.
-
A lacerated tendon doesn't wait for a callback
Someone with a fresh laceration or a displaced wrist fracture is searching and calling within the hour, often from an urgent-care waiting room.

Local SEO
Search engine optimization. Rank for the condition, not just "hand surgeon."
When a patient searches "hand surgeon near me" or "carpal tunnel doctor," three or four names in the map pack get most of the calls.
- Map-pack rankings built around your highest-volume conditions, not one generic keyword
- A page for every neighborhood and referring catchment you actually serve
- A steady flow of new reviews, timed to hand-therapy discharge, that keeps rankings fresh
High-Intent Visibility
The moment before they pick up the phone.
Some of these searches happen in the ER waiting room, minutes after an injury. Others happen weeks into ignoring a numb hand or a locked-up finger.
Ranked for both patient paths
The urgent and the researched — the searches we build your site, ads, and content to win, whether someone's deciding tonight or over the next month.

What AI assistants say when asked
More patients — and even hand therapists fielding a referral question — now ask ChatGPT or Gemini before calling a scheduling line. AIO keeps your practice in that answer.
- “Who's the best hand surgeon for carpal tunnel surgery near me?”
- “Recommend a top-rated hand and wrist specialist in [your city].”
- “Where can I get trigger finger release in [your city] with great reviews?”
- “Find a hand surgeon who treats work injuries near me.”
- “Best hand surgeon near me accepting new patients?”

Email Marketing
Email marketing for hand surgery practices. From the first splint to the last therapy visit.
Recovery from hand surgery runs through a therapy schedule, not just a follow-up visit — splint checks, range-of-motion milestones, discharge from hand therapy.
- Pre-op prep so patients arrive ready, with fewer day-of reschedules
- Splint and hand-therapy check-ins timed to actual recovery milestones
- Recall for patients whose original injury healed, in case the other hand acts up next

Post-Op -
Discharged from hand therapy — what's next
Range of motion looks good. Here's how to book your final follow-up.
Recall
Proof, not promises
See what turns a search into a filled OR slot.
One dashboard ties every ad, page, and call to a booked case — split out by whether it was trauma or elective, so you know what's actually working.
Lead Tracking No inquiry left on read
Every inquiry — a form filed after hours, a missed call from someone mid-injury, an ad click that didn't convert right away — gets logged and followed up automatically instead of waiting for someone to notice.
Know the source, trauma or elective
Each inquiry is tagged by the ad, keyword, or page it came from, and whether it reads as urgent or elective, so you can staff and budget for both.
Follow-up that doesn't wait on staff
A patient who doesn't book on first contact gets automatic text and email nudges until they do — no one on your team has to remember.
ROI Tracking What a case is actually worth
Every booked case gets traced back to the campaign that produced it, so you know your real cost to land a new carpal tunnel release versus a reconstructive trauma case.
Cost per new patient, by procedure type
Ad spend, calls, and bookings roll up by condition, so you can see what a new trigger finger patient costs versus a trauma case, and whether that's trending up or down.
Procedure-level ROI
Reconstructive, replant, and joint-arthroplasty cases are reported apart from routine releases, so you can see which high-value work your marketing dollars actually earn.
Call Analysis No injury call goes unanswered
A patient calling about a fresh injury won't wait on hold — and a fumbled call sends them to the next name on the list.
Every call scored
Each call is graded on whether it ended in a booked visit, so you can catch patterns.
Instant text-back
A call that goes unanswered triggers an automatic text within seconds, so a patient calling about a laceration isn't left waiting or dialing urgent care instead.
Review Generation Proof for the patient and the referring OT
In hand surgery, reviews get read by both future patients and the hand therapists deciding where to send their next referral.
Asked at hand-therapy discharge
When a patient regains function and finishes therapy, they get one friendly text or email asking for a Google review.
Every review monitored
New reviews from Google and elsewhere land in one feed, so you can respond quickly and protect the rating both patients and referring providers see.

Marketing for hand & upper extremity surgery, without the mystery
Pricing is public and doesn't change based on specialty. Google Ads management is a flat 10% of your monthly ad budget with a $600/month minimum, and your ad budget itself still goes to Google — no markup from us. SEO is $50 per page per month, 10-page minimum, usually split between your trauma and elective condition pages. Custom websites are one-time builds from $1,500 to $20,000+ (see /websites for the full tiers). Setup is $0, everything runs month to month, and we'll have a proposal back to you within one business day.
If your new-patient volume rises and falls with how busy your referring PCPs and hand therapists happen to be that month, or carpal tunnel and trigger finger cases are going to the ortho group with the better website, a direct-search channel closes that gap. We build the site, ads, SEO, and reviews that bring patients to you without touching your referral relationships — month to month, so nothing is locked in. If referrals alone already keep your schedule full, you probably don't need us yet.
One team handles the parts that bring both kinds of hand patients through your door: the urgent case searching same-day after a laceration, and the elective case researching carpal tunnel or thumb arthritis for weeks before calling. That's your website and condition pages, Google Ads, local and AI-search visibility, and the pre-op and post-op email flows — reporting into one calendar instead of five logins.
Ask whether they can separate a routine trigger finger release from a complex replant in their reporting — if not, they're not tracking what actually drives your revenue. Look for public pricing, a plan that treats urgent trauma and elective procedures differently, and full ownership of your site, ad accounts, and patient records on your end. An agency running the same playbook they'd use on a general ortho clinic hasn't done the homework.
Google Ads can put your practice in front of a patient searching mid-injury within a couple of weeks of launch. SEO rankings typically start moving in 3 to 4 months, and organic leads build to a steady flow over 6 to 8 months — with paid search and your referral network covering new-patient volume while that compounds.
We build separate pages and campaigns for trauma and elective cases instead of one generic "hand surgeon" page, our pricing is public, and you stay month to month with no contract. Setup is $0, you keep ownership of your site, ad accounts, and patient data, and if your first 30 days don't work out, you don't pay for them.
Yes — that's where hand surgery makes most of its money, and where we focus the campaigns and content. We build dedicated pages for tendon and nerve repair, digit replantation, and post-traumatic reconstruction, aimed at the ER handoffs and self-referred trauma searches a generic "hand surgeon" ad misses entirely.
10% of your monthly ad budget, $600/month minimum, and the fee is the same whether a campaign targets a trauma keyword or an elective one. Your full budget goes to Google — we don't mark up spend — and every call and form fill is tracked back to the ad and keyword that produced it.
$50 per page per month, with a 10-page minimum to start. We typically split those pages between your highest-volume elective procedures — carpal tunnel, trigger finger, thumb arthritis — and the trauma and workers'-comp searches your practice also handles, plus your Google Business Profile.
Custom sites are one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000+ depending on scope, with the full tiers listed at /websites. There's no setup fee, and the build centers on condition-specific pages, provider bios, and a fast-tracked request path for patients calling about a fresh injury.
Yes, and this matters more in hand surgery than in most specialties — your hand therapists send you new patients about as often as you send them post-op work, and we're careful not to compete with that loop. What we add is a direct-search channel for the patients who'd otherwise land with whoever shows up first online.
Yes, entirely. Your website, brand assets, ad accounts, and patient records belong to your practice from day one — if you ever move to another agency, or none at all, everything goes with you.
