What does medical marketing in Denver cost?
Retainers with us start from $499/month for a website SEO base package. Larger programs with ads, content and several Colorado locations are scoped after a free benchmarking call. Goals-Driven engagements and Performance-Linked Payout Models are available, and ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta.
Which rules apply to medical advertising in Colorado?
The Colorado Medical Board regulates physician advertising, including claims and the use of specialty titles. HIPAA covers patient information in forms and tracking, the FTC covers reviews and endorsements, and TCPA covers calls and texts. We check every claim against these before it goes live.
Who this service is for in Denver
Specialty medical practices in Denver get patients three ways: a referral from another physician, an insurance directory, or a search for a condition. Medical marketing has to serve all three. That means a page for each condition and procedure, a full profile for every physician, clear information for referring offices, and claims that stay inside the Colorado Medical Board's advertising rules. This page is about physician-led specialty care; dental practices, med spas and single-doctor offices have their own pages, linked below.

Denver market snapshot
Dermatology practices in Denver have a median of 224.5 Google reviews and a 4.62-star average, above the 125-review median across all 20 metros we studied (3rd of 20 metros for review depth). A dermatology practice with fewer than 112 reviews has less than half the review count of the typical local competitor, and is competing from behind. 29% of them list weekend hours on Google (27.5% nationally), so a practice that opens on Saturdays and says so on its profile stands out. Average ratings here range only from 4.62 stars (dermatology practices) to 4.89 (med spas), so the star average rarely separates one specialty practice from the next; review count, recency and complete physician profiles do more of that work.
Medical marketing in Denver: the numbers to plan around
- Dermatology practices in Denver average 4.62 stars on a median of 224.5 reviews (62 studied). For a physician group in this specialty, that is the bar each location profile is compared with, and provider profiles carry part of it.
- Plastic surgery practices in Denver sit close to the national median (117 reviews against 107) with a 4.69-star average; 4.7% list weekend hours, against 14.5% nationally.
- Physical therapy clinics in Denver sit above the national median (149 reviews against 122) with a 4.86-star average; 8.9% list weekend hours, against 20.6% nationally.
- Your medical marketing plan for Denver also covers patients in Westminster, Centennial, Broomfield and Castle Rock, with each area measured on its own calls and bookings.
| Specialty | Businesses studied | Avg Google rating | Median reviews | List weekend hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dermatology | 62 | 4.62★ | 224.5 | 29% |
| Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery | 43 | 4.69★ | 117 | 4.7% |

| Hair Restoration | 11 | 4.74★ | 83 | 45.5% |

The Denver area in numbers
- Denver had about 729,000 residents in July 2024, inside the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metro area of 3.1 million (+3.0% since the April 2020 census base).
- From mid-2020 to mid-2024 the metro gained about 56,300 residents from abroad while about 17,900 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.
- 14.9% of metro residents were 65 or older in 2024 (US: 18.0%) and 20.3% were under 18 (US: 21.5%), a younger population than the US as a whole, which tilts demand toward family, pediatric and elective care.
- About 33,000 babies were born in the metro in the year to July 2024, a steady pipeline of new families choosing pediatricians and family dentists.
Colorado Medical Board
Colorado treats misleading, deceptive or false advertising as unprofessional conduct (C.R.S. 12-240-121(1)(z)), and Medical Board Rule 1.24 applies that standard to print, broadcast and internet advertising. Read our guide to the state's advertising rules →

Medical Marketing Agency in Denver: common questions
How much does medical marketing cost in Denver?
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 Denver?
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. We set real targets from your own data during benchmarking.
Do you work with practices in Denver 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.
How is medical marketing different for a specialty group?
Specialty patients often arrive through a referral, an insurance directory or a search for a specific condition. The marketing has to serve all three: condition pages patients can find, provider profiles that answer credential questions, and simple referral information for other physicians.
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.
What does a specialty practice in Denver need on Google to compete?
In Denver, dermatology practices have a median of 224.5 reviews, average 4.62 stars and 29% list weekend hours; plastic surgery practices have a median of 117 reviews, average 4.69 stars and 4.7% list weekend hours; physical therapy clinics have a median of 149 reviews, average 4.86 stars and 8.9% list weekend hours (Ichelon Consulting US Google Business Profile benchmark, September 2026). Specialty practices should compare themselves with their own line, then complete every physician profile so reviews and credentials show for each doctor.
How many Google reviews do dental practices in Denver have?
Across the 120 dental practices we studied in Denver, the typical (median) business had 351.5 Google reviews and an average rating of 4.78 stars in September 2026, and 12.5% 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 Denver have the most Google reviews?
Of the 9 specialties we benchmarked in Denver, dental practices had the deepest review profiles (median 351.5 reviews) and medical weight loss clinics the thinnest (median 47). A practice should compare itself with its own specialty, not with healthcare as a whole.
Who regulates medical advertising in Colorado?
Physician advertising is overseen by the Colorado Medical Board; dentists answer to their own state dental board. Colorado treats misleading, deceptive or false advertising as unprofessional conduct (C.R.S. 12-240-121(1)(z)), and Medical Board Rule 1.24 applies that standard to print, broadcast and internet advertising. Federal rules (FTC truth-in-advertising and endorsement rules, HIPAA and the TCPA) apply on top.
Is the Denver area growing?
Yes. US Census Bureau estimates put the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metro at 3,052,498 people in July 2024, a change of +3.0% from the April 2020 base of 2,963,806. 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.
