How a plastic surgeon produced 510% more leads in 90 days while still under contract with another agency.
The practice's existing agency was underperforming but the surgeon couldn't get account access to audit or fix it. We built a parallel landing page and new ad campaigns that ran alongside the existing system without touching it. The new system produced 510% more leads within two weeks, giving the practice clear performance data and an obvious path forward.

The Problem
The traffic was there. The landing page was where it was going to die.
The practice had a strong reputation, good outcomes, and patients coming through referral. But the paid advertising channel was consistently underperforming. Inquiries were sporadic. The ad spend did not correlate with inquiry volume in any predictable way.
The complicating factor: the practice was under contract with an existing agency. They could not hand access over to a new team or restructure the campaigns without breach-of-contract risk. They also could not see clearly into what was causing the underperformance because they did not have direct account access.
Meanwhile, the website and landing pages did not reflect the surgeon's actual outcomes or experience. For a practice that had built a local and international reputation, the digital presence was not earning trust for patients arriving through search or social.
Audit
What the audit revealed.
The traffic was paid for. It just had nowhere to convert.
Existing landing pages did not earn trust
Pages did not surface credentials, did not display compliant before-and-after imagery, and did not have a clear consultation path. A high-consideration patient evaluating surgery had no reason to commit.
No visibility into the agency's account
Practice did not have direct access to performance data. The underperformance was visible in outcome (low inquiries), not in cause.
Contract prevented account restructure
Modifying the running campaigns would have created contractual conflict. The traditional 'wait for the contract to end' path meant 30–60+ days of continued underperformance.
Strategy
Build a parallel system. Don't wait for the contract.
A new landing page and new campaigns on separate accounts are independent of any existing agency contract. The parallel system produced data the practice could act on within two weeks.
Standalone landing page rebuild
Built independent of the existing agency's infrastructure. No account access required. Structured around the surgeon's top procedures with compliant before/after imagery, credentials surfaced immediately, and a single clear CTA.
Google + Meta campaigns on new accounts
Both channels launched simultaneously pointing only to the new page. Audience targeting covered local geography plus international audiences. Creative emphasized natural results and credibility, not discounts.
Measured the gap in real time
Because the existing campaigns kept running, the performance difference was immediately visible. Not a theoretical comparison: actual inquiry counts side by side.
Refined based on early results
Within 14 days, 20 inquiries had come through. Used that data to refine targeting, messaging, and page elements. By end of month one, 20–30 inquiries per week consistently.

Key Takeaways
What this case shows about plastic surgery lead generation.
The landing page is where most agency setups fail
Underperforming paid accounts are usually not a traffic problem. The traffic is there. The destination is the issue. Audit the page before the campaign.
You don't have to wait for the contract to end
A standalone landing page and new campaigns on separate accounts can run in parallel with an existing agency. The performance comparison becomes data, which removes the risk from the agency-switch decision.
14 days is a realistic first-result window
If a new campaign and landing page combination isn't producing inquiries in two weeks, the issue is the page, the offer, or the targeting, not the channel. The data shows up fast when the structure is right.
Credibility outperforms urgency for high-consideration surgery
Patients evaluating plastic surgery are not responding to limited-time offers. They're looking for a surgeon they trust. Build the page to earn that trust, not to manufacture urgency.

How a multi-location plastic surgery group increased qualified consultations by 510% in six months.
The four-location plastic surgery group was spending $28K/month on Google and Meta Ads with flat consultation volume — the budget wasn't the problem, the system was. We rebuilt campaigns at the procedure level, built four procedure-specific landing pages, and connected tracking to actual booked consultations. Qualified surgical consultations grew 510% in six months at the same ad budget.
How a 14-provider orthopedic group built 120+ monthly consultations and fully absorbed 3 new providers in 8 months.
The practice was adding surgeons faster than referrals could consistently fill schedules. We implemented SEO, Google Ads, landing pages, and conversion tracking tied to booked consultations. Within 8 months, the practice was consistently generating enough patient demand to support the expanded provider team.
How an 11-location med spa group sustained a 3.1× return on ad spend and grew booked consultations by 62%.
The 11-location med spa group had inconsistent results across markets, with each location running different programs and no portfolio-wide standard. We rebuilt the creative with a compliance-first approach, shifted to conversion-objective campaigns, and built treatment-specific landing pages for each market. The group now sustains 3.1x ROAS across all 11 locations with consistent booked-consultation volume.
