Plastic Surgery Associates, a group of board-certified surgeons in Calgary, provides expert cosmetic and reconstructive care—from facial, breast, and body enhancements to complex procedures for trauma and cancer recovery. But their website wasn’t telling that story. It leaned heavily on generic cosmetic imagery that failed to reflect the authentic, compassionate nature of the practice, and it offered no clear path for the two very different audiences it needed to serve: patients considering elective cosmetic procedures and those seeking specialized reconstructive surgery.
That’s where we came in. We rebuilt their website around a patient-first experience that balances high-end aesthetic appeal with the clinical authority of a board-certified surgical team—work that earned us a Web Award from the Web Marketing Association for Health Care Standard of Excellence (marking our 11th Web Award). The result is a modern site that now draws the majority of its visitors through organic search and has taken an early lead in AI-powered search results. Read on for the full story.
The Solution: A Patient-First Website Built for Two Audiences
To meet the practice’s dual challenge, we developed a comprehensive solution tailored to how their patients actually search, learn, and decide.
We replaced the outdated website with a modern, high-conversion platform designed to serve two distinct audiences at once. Intuitive navigation and clear calls to action streamline the path for elective cosmetic inquiries, while a professional, accessible experience gives reconstructive patients the information and reassurance they need.
Our team also overhauled the site’s information architecture and content, developing accurate, comprehensive descriptions of every surgical service alongside genuinely useful patient resources—like post-operative care instructions—that establish the practice as a trusted authority in the Calgary medical community. This patient-focused content, paired with on-site SEO, laid the groundwork for strong, sustained search visibility.
Finally, to protect and build on that momentum, we established an ongoing local marketing partnership. Continuous local SEO and paid digital marketing keep the practice visible to high-intent patients and deliver a steady, reliable return on their investment.
The Results: Organic Growth and an Early AI Search Advantage
Since launch, the new site has quickly established a strong foundation for digital success—and the early indicators are impressive.
Technical Excellence: The site passes Core Web Vitals on both desktop and mobile (scoring 90/100 and 66/100 respectively), ensuring a fast, high-quality experience for every visitor.
AI Overview Presence: Thanks to clear, informative content, the site now appears in Google’s AI Overviews for 40 search queries across Canada—including high-value terms like “eye lift surgery calgary,” “blepharoplasty calgary cost,” and “tummy tuck calgary cost.” That presence has grown steadily since launch, even as many competing sites have seen theirs fluctuate.
Strong Organic Foundation: Organic search now accounts for more than 83% of all site traffic, supported by a healthy 39.31% organic bounce rate and 2.14 pages per session—clear signs that visitors are finding what they came for.
Steady Growth: Organic traffic has climbed consistently week over week. In the most recent 90-day period alone, total users rose 27.9% and organic search traffic grew 26.6%.
A High-Converting Channel: Best of all, organic search has become the practice’s most efficient growth engine, converting at 7.32%—the highest rate of any channel.
Beyond the numbers, the transformation has repositioned Plastic Surgery Associates as a genuine educator in the Calgary market. By earning consistent placement in AI-driven search, the practice has secured a first-mover advantage that traditional advertising simply can’t buy—drawing in patients who arrive already informed, reassured, and confident in the team’s board-certified expertise.
