FAQs
Everything you need to know about this service.
Ask Us Anything →The ASA's CAP Code and the 2022 Memorandum of Understanding on cosmetic advertising place strict limits on before/after imagery, outcome claims, and promotions targeting under-18s. Content must not trivialise the decision to undergo surgery or present unrealistic results. We ensure all content we produce is fully compliant — protecting you from ASA complaints while still being highly effective for SEO.
Yes, with appropriate context. The key requirements are that photos must be accurate and not misleading, must not be used in paid social media ads targeting broad audiences, and should include balanced information about risks and recovery. On your own website, properly contextualised before/after galleries remain both permissible and highly effective for patient decision-making.
Cosmetic surgery is firmly in Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) category — content that could affect a person's health, safety, or financial wellbeing. Google applies its strictest quality standards here, meaning content from unqualified or unverifiable sources is actively suppressed. Surgeon credentials, GMC registration, and professional membership are essential signals.
Competitive procedure terms ("rhinoplasty London," "breast augmentation Manchester") typically take 5–8 months to reach page one from a standing start. Less competitive geo-specific terms can rank within 3–4 months. The compound effect — where rankings, reviews, and links reinforce each other — builds strongly from month 9 onwards.
We build a compliant, patient-friendly review request process triggered at the ideal moment in the patient journey — typically at the post-op check-up when satisfaction is highest. This avoids the awkwardness of requesting reviews immediately after surgery and produces more detailed, credible testimonials that convert prospective patients far more effectively.
