The Symptom Stage
"Why does my shoulder hurt at night?" "How do I know if my ACL is torn?" Patients aren't ready to book — they're trying to understand what's wrong. Education-led content earns trust here.
For nearly 20 years, Hexapoint has helped orthopedic surgeons, spine groups, sports medicine practices, and pain management programs grow patient volume — with marketing tracked all the way through the EHR to attended appointments and surgical revenue.
Patients searching for orthopedic care aren't comparison-shopping casually. They've been hurting for weeks or months. They're researching at 11pm because they couldn't sleep. The keywords they use, the questions they ask, and the moment they decide to call all behave differently than any other medical specialty. Most agencies don't know this. We've spent nearly 20 years studying it.
"Why does my shoulder hurt at night?" "How do I know if my ACL is torn?" Patients aren't ready to book — they're trying to understand what's wrong. Education-led content earns trust here.
"Best knee replacement surgeon near me." "Reverse shoulder vs. total shoulder." They've named the procedure. Now they're choosing the surgeon — local SEO, reviews, and physician authority drive the conversion.
"Dr. Smith orthopedic [city]." Branded queries — they've decided on you, they're looking for the phone number. Frictionless booking, immediate response, and Google Business Profile excellence close the loop.
Every service below is informed by the orthopedic patient journey — from symptom-stage searches to surgical scheduling. Not generic healthcare templates retrofitted for orthopedics.
Procedure pages, condition explainers, and physician bios that rank for the high-intent queries patients actually use — knee replacement, rotator cuff repair, spinal fusion, sports medicine, and more.
Google Business Profile optimization, citation building, and local schema that get your practice into the map pack when patients search "top orthopedic surgeons near me."
Showing up inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — the new front page of orthopedic patient research. We've been winning visibility here for over a year.
Paid search campaigns built for surgical intent — keywords, ad copy, and landing pages that filter for booking-ready patients, tracked through to attended appointments.
Custom-coded sites that load fast, look modern, and convert. Procedure hubs, physician pages, condition libraries — built around how orthopedic patients browse.
Active review generation and reputation management. In a specialty where patients pick the surgeon as much as the practice, your physician's online reputation is the conversion lever.

Every campaign tied through your EHR to attended appointments, completed surgeries, and CPT-level revenue. Powered by our proprietary platform, MeasureMD.

We don't run competing campaigns against each other. Hexapoint maintains geographic exclusivity — meaning if we're already working with an orthopedic group in your region, we won't take you on. The first step in our process is always confirming we're free to work together.
Paid search and Google Ads can drive booked appointments within the first 2–4 weeks of launch, assuming your tracking is properly configured. Orthopedic SEO is a longer game — meaningful organic traffic gains typically appear in 60–90 days, with top rankings on competitive procedure terms (e.g., "knee replacement [city]") arriving over 6–12 months. The first 90 days of every Hexapoint engagement are intensive on purpose: we frontload the technical, content, and authority work so the compounding starts early.
Three things. First, orthopedic patients search in pain — they use longer, more specific queries and convert at different times of day than other medical specialties. Second, the buying journey is unusually procedure-led: patients often diagnose themselves before they pick a surgeon, meaning your content has to win on the condition before it can sell on the practice. Third, orthopedic procedures carry higher revenue per patient than most specialties, which means the marketing math rewards quality over quantity. Generic agencies don't optimize for any of this.
Both. Hexapoint serves everyone from solo orthopedic surgeons to multi-physician orthopedic groups, regional networks, sports medicine programs, neuro-spine practices, pain management, and orthopedic MSOs and PE-backed roll-ups. The work scales — what stays constant is that the senior team you meet on the call is the senior team running your account.
No. Hexapoint maintains strict geographic exclusivity — one orthopedic practice per market. The first step in our process is confirming we don't already serve a direct competitor in your region. If we do, we'll tell you on the intro call rather than waste your time.
Through MeasureMD — our proprietary EHR-integrated attribution platform. We connect directly to your practice management system so every marketing dollar is tracked through to attended visits, imaging orders, and CPT-level surgical revenue. Most agencies stop at "leads generated." We measure to the patient and the case, because that's the only number that matters for your practice.
Hexapoint's orthopedic marketing engagements typically range from $5,000–$25,000+ per month, depending on geography, competition, scope, and ad spend. Most independent orthopedic practices fall in the $7K–$15K range. Larger groups, regional networks, and MSO clients run higher because the work scales across locations and physicians. We scope every engagement to actual goals — not padded service tiers. Book a call and we'll give you a real number based on what your specific market and practice require.
