Who this service is for in New York
This page is for practices that have outgrown one-channel help. A group with sites across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens cannot run every location on the same budget, because demand, competition and reviews differ by neighborhood and by service line. We build one plan for the whole group in New York, then set goals, budgets and reporting per location, so a busy site never hides a struggling one. If you are a single physician or a small independent office, the doctor marketing page below is a better fit.

New York market snapshot
Dental practices in New York have a median of 441 Google reviews and a 4.78-star average, above the 319.5-review median across all 20 metros we studied (1st of 20 metros for review depth). A dental practice with fewer than 220 reviews has less than half the review count of the typical local competitor, and is competing from behind. 48.8% of them list weekend hours on Google (25.5% nationally), so weekend availability is common but not universal. Across specialties the typical review count here runs from 34.5 (medical weight loss clinics) to 513.5 (dermatology practices), which is why a multi-location or multi-specialty group needs review and visibility targets per service line rather than one number for the whole group.
Healthcare marketing in New York: the numbers to plan around
- Dental practices in New York: a median of 441 reviews (319.5 nationally), 4.78 stars on average and 48.8% with weekend hours. Targets for this service line start from these numbers.

The New York area in numbers
- New York had about 8.5 million residents in July 2024, inside the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metro area of 19.9 million (-0.7% since the April 2020 census base).
- From mid-2020 to mid-2024 the metro gained about 719,600 residents from abroad while about 1,024,900 more people moved out to other parts of the US than moved in, so practices compete for a population that is turning over rather than simply growing.
- 17.9% of metro residents were 65 or older in 2024 (US: 18.0%) and 20.7% were under 18 (US: 21.5%).
- About 213,800 babies were born in the metro in the year to July 2024, a steady pipeline of new families choosing pediatricians and family dentists.
New York State Board for Medicine
Under New York Education Law section 6530(27), advertising or soliciting for patronage that is not in the public interest is professional misconduct for physicians. Read our guide to the state's advertising rules →

- Weeks 7–12: fund what books. Budget moved toward the locations and services with the lowest cost per booked visit, with a group report every Monday.
Where patients in New York come from
New York City is five boroughs and dozens of neighborhoods, each its own search market. Density means a competitor is often a few blocks away, so reviews, availability and language (Spanish, Chinese, Russian and more) decide who gets chosen.
Areas we target around New York

Healthcare Marketing Agency in New York: common questions
How much does healthcare marketing cost in New York?
Every practice is welcome. Ichelon Consulting US retainers start from $499/mo for a website SEO base package. Larger programs are scoped after a benchmarking call, with Goals-Driven engagements and Performance-Linked Payout Models available. Ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta and never marked up.
What does a qualified lead cost for a practice in New York?
It depends on specialty, offer and competition. As a planning guide, US campaigns typically run from about $35–$120 per qualified lead for primary care and pediatrics up to $150–$500 for plastic surgery and fertility, and New York usually sits in the upper half of those ranges. We set real targets from your own data during benchmarking.
Do you work with practices in New York from Dallas?
Yes. Websites, search, ads and reporting are delivered remotely, strategy calls run in US business hours, and our US leadership is based in Dallas. We work with live clients in Texas, California and Virginia and a telehealth practice that sees patients nationwide.
Is your marketing HIPAA-compliant?
Engagements are HIPAA-aware by design: forms, booking and tracking are configured so protected health information is not sent to ad or analytics platforms, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement with every US client before work starts. Our client-facing and delivery teams hold HIPAA compliance training certificates. We also work within TCPA, CAN-SPAM, ADA (WCAG 2.2 AA) and FTC endorsement rules.
Can one agency handle marketing for all our locations and specialties?
Yes, and it usually costs less in management time than several vendors. We run one plan with separate goals, budgets and reporting for each location and service line, so a busy location never hides a struggling one.
How should a multi-location group in New York set targets for each location?
In New York, dental practices have a median of 441 reviews, average 4.78 stars and 48.8% list weekend hours; dermatology practices have a median of 513.5 reviews, average 4.59 stars and 59.5% list weekend hours; physical therapy clinics have a median of 215 reviews, average 4.88 stars and 45.6% list weekend hours (Ichelon Consulting US Google Business Profile benchmark, September 2026). We set each location's targets against its own specialty line rather than one group-wide number.
How many Google reviews do dental practices in New York have?
Across the 127 dental practices we studied in New York, the typical (median) business had 441 Google reviews and an average rating of 4.78 stars in September 2026, and 48.8% listed weekend hours. Figures come from public Google Business Profile data in the Ichelon Consulting US benchmark; no business is named.
Which healthcare businesses in New York have the most Google reviews?
Of the 9 specialties we benchmarked in New York, dermatology practices had the deepest review profiles (median 513.5 reviews) and medical weight loss clinics the thinnest (median 34.5). A practice should compare itself with its own specialty, not with healthcare as a whole.
Who regulates medical advertising in New York?
Physician advertising is overseen by the New York State Board for Medicine; dentists answer to their own state dental board. Under New York Education Law section 6530(27), advertising or soliciting for patronage that is not in the public interest is professional misconduct for physicians. Federal rules (FTC truth-in-advertising and endorsement rules, HIPAA and the TCPA) apply on top.
Is the New York area growing?
Not in headcount. US Census Bureau estimates put the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metro at 19,940,274 people in July 2024, a change of -0.7% from the April 2020 base of 20,083,412. Population change alone understates demand for new providers, because people who move to the area need to find new providers even when as many others move away.
