Know who is responsible for the work
I'm Maxim Volkov, the founder of Search to Patients. I set the priorities, review the work and take responsibility for implementation.
For your practice, we agree on the scope before work begins, including which services belong in the monthly SEO plan. Meet Maxim.
A monthly plan with the work carried through
We agree on the priorities for your practice, then prepare, implement and check the changes. Your plan shows what we are working on and where we need your input.
Your first month is a setup and implementation phase at the same US$2,500 base price. The ongoing content and outreach limits below apply from month two.
| Work included | Ongoing scope |
|---|---|
| SEO priorities and implementation | Technical fixes, internal links and improvements to priority pages, selected for the monthly plan |
| Local search | Review and improvements to your practice's local presence, including Google Business Profile where applicable |
| Website content | Up to 4 new or substantially revised service pages or articles per month |
| Editorial outreach | Up to 50 initial, targeted pitches per month, with correspondence handled on your behalf |
| Articles for external publications | Up to 2 full articles per month, in addition to your website content, prepared for relevant editorial opportunities |
| Short expert comments | Up to 4 comments for journalists per month, each up to 200 words, in addition to the external articles and website pages |
| Small website requests | 2 requests per month, each estimated by us at up to 30 minutes including checks |
| Care for websites we build | Scheduled updates, backups and functionality checks while your monthly SEO plan is active |
| Reporting and communication | A written report and a personalized 3–5 minute video for each calendar month, sent by email within the first 5 business days of the following month |
The monthly plan sets the specific mix and volume within these limits. Medical content needs your practice's approval before publication. Editors decide whether and when to publish contributed articles and whether to include a link.
For an unanswered pitch, we include up to one follow-up where appropriate. It does not count as another initial pitch. We respect each publication's contact rules and stop following up after a decline or a request not to be contacted.
Short expert comments are prepared from your clinician's confirmed points and approved by them before submission. The allowance covers drafting and checking the response; requests needing a separate research assignment or a longer piece are scoped with you first. Publication of a comment or a link is the editor's decision.
Paid placements, advertising, Google Ads or Meta Ads management, GHL work, major redesigns and new integrations are scoped separately. Any proposed placement cost is agreed with you first.
The tools we use to deliver your SEO work are included in the monthly price. There is no separate charge for our SEO software, AI or automation tools. If you request a paid theme, plugin or additional service beyond our standard website setup, we agree on the purchase and renewal costs with you before you commit.
Routine care for a website we build does not use your two small website requests. New features and major changes are quoted separately. If your SEO plan ends, any continued website care is agreed separately; you retain ownership of your website and accounts.
Your first month: access, priorities and initial improvements
We start by confirming your services, practitioners, location and how patients contact the practice. With the necessary access in place, we review your website and available search data, check the analytics setup and agree on the first priorities.
The first month includes diagnosis, a written plan and initial implementation. Content and outreach begin as the supporting information and approvals become available. The ongoing monthly content and outreach plan starts in month two.
There is no separate setup fee. If you have purchased the US$250 SEO Review, its full price is credited once toward the reviewed practice's first SEO payment made within 30 calendar days of receiving the review. A change of domain for the same practice is allowed without restarting that window; the credit cannot be transferred to another practice. If a delay on our side holds up the transition, we extend the credit deadline.
Review the work when it suits your schedule
One shared plan document brings together the priorities, content awaiting approval, completed work and requests. Drafts, reports and invoices arrive by email, and we record your replies against the relevant item in the plan.
We reply within one business day with an answer or a next step and timeframe. The completion date for a requested change is confirmed separately.
Business days are Monday to Friday, calculated in UTC+4. US and Australian public holidays do not change this calendar. Your confirmation shows the due date in your selected time zone.
You can review work in your browser. Calls are optional; you can purchase, get started and work with us through written communication and video walkthroughs.
Your practice approves the medical and practice details
We prepare content using the information your practice has confirmed and check our drafts before sending them to you. Your reviewer checks the medical statements and the details of what your practice actually offers, including services, clinicians, pricing and insurance where mentioned.
Each website material includes one consolidated round of your requested changes, followed by final approval of the revised version. Corrections to our errors, medical inaccuracies or departures from the agreed brief do not use that allowance.
Each external article includes one consolidated revision round from your practice and one from the publication's editor. We correct our errors, medical inaccuracies and departures from the agreed brief outside those rounds. Revised medical or practice claims return to your clinical reviewer before we submit the updated copy; that approval does not use another revision round. Further requested rounds or scope changes are agreed separately before work begins on them.
If content is waiting for your approval into the next month, we pause new drafts and move to other SEO priorities. Once approved, the prepared content can be published without counting it as another new page in that month's allowance.
See what changed and what comes next
Each month, you receive a short written report and a personalized 3–5 minute video walkthrough. We email the report with a link to the video.
Reports cover a calendar month and are ready within the first five business days of the following month. If you start partway through a month, your first report clearly identifies the period covered.
The report connects the completed work with your practice's organic search performance. It explains what changed, what the available data tells us, what comes next and anything we need from your practice.
For outreach, we distinguish pitches sent, interested responses and published coverage. A reply from an editor is recorded as a response, not as a published article or a new backlink.
Built for practices ready to work on their search presence
This service is intended for established, independent medical practices with a website we can access, a clear set of services and someone who can approve medical content and practice details.
The base plan covers one website and one location. We review your website and requirements before confirming the scope. WordPress and HTML-based sites are our starting point; other platforms are assessed for the changes they allow us to make.
If you need a new website first, our medical website service starts with a separately agreed build. Monthly SEO begins after launch.
Explore medical websites – US$4,000, up to 15 main pages plus three utility pages
Privacy Policy, Terms and a thank-you page are included separately from the 15-page allowance. Your practice supplies the legal text; we format and publish it.
Questions before you start
Do I need to buy the SEO Review first?
No. You can apply directly for monthly SEO. If you prefer to begin with a focused review, the US$250 fee is credited once in full toward the reviewed practice's first SEO payment made within 30 calendar days of receiving the review. We extend that deadline for delays on our side. The review is a separate purchase and does not start a subscription.
An unused review credit is cancelled if the review fee is refunded. Using the credit ends the review's voluntary seven-day refund offer. Your rights under applicable law are unaffected.
Is there a minimum contract term?
The service runs month to month. You can cancel the next renewal by email before the next paid period begins. We complete the current paid month and confirm your service end date.
Will my practice get four new articles every month?
The ongoing allowance covers up to four new or substantially revised website pages in total. These may be service pages, articles or a combination, based on the agreed monthly plan. The first month follows a separate setup plan, and medical content is published after your approval.
Are two external publications guaranteed?
The allowance covers preparing up to two full articles for external publications each month. Acceptance, publication dates and links are editorial decisions. We track and report the actual outcome of each opportunity.
What can I request as a small website change?
Examples include replacing a photo, updating a confirmed price or changing a contact detail. There are two requests per month, each estimated by us at up to 30 minutes including checks. Planned SEO implementation is separate from this allowance.
Unused requests do not roll over. We use the available time for other SEO priorities that month. If we delay an accepted request, finishing it does not use the next month's allowance.
How soon will search performance improve?
We begin with the website's current condition and the opportunities identified in the initial review. Your plan explains the work and its order; we do not guarantee a ranking, patient count or revenue figure by a particular date.
