How it works
Answered, Clicked, Found: the first steps in San Diego

Answered
An AI front desk answers calls and chats after hours and during busy stretches, answers common questions and offers open times or a waitlist spot.

Google Ads aimed at the visits you want more of, medical or cosmetic, sent to a page written for that visit.

Local SEO for your city and neighborhoods, a complete Google Business Profile and accurate listings so you appear for dermatologist and skin care searches near the patient.

Where patients leak
What goes wrong for dermatology practices in San Diego, CA
Long waits that send patients elsewhere
When the next opening is far off, patients keep searching. Clear information on timing, an easy waitlist and fast answers keep them from booking the next listing down.
Medical and cosmetic demand mixed together
Skin checks, acne, eczema and psoriasis visits are searched differently from injectables, lasers and skin rejuvenation. One generic page for all of it serves neither group well.
Ad rules that limit what you can say
Ad platforms restrict health and personal-attribute targeting and wording. Ads that imply a viewer has a condition, or promise a result, are rejected or draw complaints.
