Medical marketing agency in Los Angeles

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.

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 Los Angeles usually sits in the upper half of those ranges. We set real targets from your own data during benchmarking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Los Angeles, dermatology practices have a median of 160 reviews, average 4.76 stars and 34.7% list weekend hours; plastic surgery practices have a median of 93 reviews, average 4.79 stars and 52.6% list weekend hours; physical therapy clinics have a median of 82 reviews, average 4.84 stars and 30.4% 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.

Across the 126 dental practices we studied in Los Angeles, the typical (median) business had 240 Google reviews and an average rating of 4.79 stars in September 2026, and 48.4% listed weekend hours. Figures come from public Google Business Profile data in the Ichelon Consulting US benchmark; no business is named.

Of the 9 specialties we benchmarked in Los Angeles, dental practices had the deepest review profiles (median 240 reviews) and hair restoration clinics the thinnest (median 20). A practice should compare itself with its own specialty, not with healthcare as a whole.

Physician advertising is overseen by the Medical Board of California; dentists answer to their own state dental board. California Business and Professions Code section 651 makes it unlawful for any healing-arts licensee, physicians and dentists included, to publish a public communication containing a false, fraudulent, misleading or deceptive statement, claim or image. Federal rules (FTC truth-in-advertising and endorsement rules, HIPAA and the TCPA) apply on top.

Not in headcount. US Census Bureau estimates put the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metro at 12,927,614 people in July 2024, a change of -2.1% from the April 2020 base of 13,204,657. 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.
