Dermatologist SEO
I help dermatology clinics get found by patients searching for skin checks, conditions and cosmetic treatments nearby. I build your condition, treatment and specialist pages within AHPRA's advertising rules. You deal with me directly, and each monthly report shows the bookings the work brought in.
- A page for every skin check, condition and treatment you offer
- Specialist profiles ready for patients who arrive with a referral
- 1 person who does the work, on month-to-month terms
“Absolutely loved working with Chris, I have never worked with anyone as transparent and responsive. Every step of the way I was kept informed about the SEO strategy and got detailed reports at the end of each month.”

Dermatologist SEO (also called SEO for dermatology clinics) is the work of getting a skin clinic found in Google's Maps results and organic results for searches like “dermatologist [city]”, “skin cancer check near me”, “acne treatment” and “mole check”. It combines Google Business Profile optimisation, a dedicated page for each condition and treatment, specialist profiles with registration details, compliant review growth and technical website fixes, all kept within AHPRA and TGA advertising rules. My website SEO starts at $1,500+GST a month, month to month, and each monthly report shows the bookings, calls and searches the work brought in.
What patients actually type when they need a dermatologist.
Each of these searches is a patient your clinic can reach through its own profile and pages. I size demand qualitatively and scope the work to your city.
| Search | Demand (AU) | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| dermatologist [city] | High | The core money search. A patient who has decided to go private, typing their city, ready to book. |
| skin cancer check [city] | High | Urgent and high-intent, often self-pay. Australia's skin-cancer rates keep this one busy all year. |
| acne treatment | Steady | A condition search, frequently younger self-pay patients who research hard before they book. |
| mole check / mole mapping | Steady | Reassurance-seeking and quick to convert when the booking path is obvious. |
| eczema / psoriasis specialist | Growing | People with a long-term skin condition looking for a specialist, often with a GP referral in hand. |
| cosmetic dermatologist [city] | Growing | Rising self-pay demand, high margin per appointment, and researched harder than any other on this list. |
Demand shown qualitatively from Google Keyword Planner interest (Australia). I treat exact search volumes as estimates and scope the plan to your city and services.
The searches split in 2. The urgent ones (skin cancer check, dermatologist near me) are decided in the Maps results, while the research ones (acne treatment, eczema specialist, cosmetic dermatology) are answered by genuinely useful condition pages. I work on both halves together, so patients find your clinic whether they need a skin check this week or they're reading up on a condition first.
Where the clicks actually go on a dermatologist search.
A Google results page has 3 areas, and each is earned differently.
The Maps results
The 3 local listings under the map take the lion's share of clicks on 'skin cancer check near me' and other urgent searches. They're earned with an optimised Google Business Profile, genuine review growth and real proximity. Your map listing belongs to your clinic, and proximity to your suburb works in your favour.
Organic results
Below the map, organic listings answer the research searches: acne treatment options, mole-mapping questions, eczema and psoriasis comparisons and cosmetic dermatology. A condition page that answers the patient's search first, then makes booking obvious, earns its place here.
Paid ads
Ads sit on top and suit filling self-pay appointments this week. I run them too, at $800+GST a month plus your own ad spend, with copy kept conservative for a health service. SEO builds the pages that keep bringing in skin-check and cosmetic searches without a cost per click.

2 Kinds of Patient
Referred patients and self-funded patients search differently.
A dermatology clinic serves 2 kinds of patient, and each finds you on Google in its own way. I build pages for both, with registration details visible on every one.
Referred patients
They search the name on the referral.
- A GP referral names a dermatologist or a clinic, and the patient searches that name before they ring.
- A specialist profile page with the dermatologist's qualifications and AHPRA registration answers that search in 1 read.
- Referral steps, fees, the Medicare rebate with a valid referral and your locations sit on the same page, so the patient books with confidence.
Self-funded patients
They search the way any consumer does.
- Cosmetic dermatology and private skin checks start with searches like 'laser for pigmentation [city]' or 'skin check near me'.
- Those results mix specialist clinics with skin clinics, so a treatment page that shows the consult is with a specialist dermatologist gives patients a clear choice.
- Each treatment page carries the practitioner's registration details and a direct booking path.
The local SEO playbook I run for dermatology clinics.
The fundamentals, done properly and kept up every month, within the advertising rules.
Google Business Profile, done properly
Correct categories (Dermatologist, Skin Care Clinic, Medical Clinic), every location verified, treatments listed as services, photos of your real rooms and consistent monthly activity. A 1-off optimisation is $750+GST, and Google Maps syndication ($800+GST a month) brings Maps calls and bookings while the website SEO builds.
Condition pages that answer, then convert
A dedicated page for each condition and treatment (skin cancer checks, acne, mole mapping, eczema and psoriasis, cosmetic dermatology) and for the cities you serve. Each answers the search a patient actually typed, then makes referral instructions and online booking obvious. Every page carries real local substance, so it earns its place in the results.
Reviews within the advertising rules
AHPRA restricts testimonials about clinical care, so I keep those out of your own marketing. I make it easy for patients to leave genuine Google reviews about their visit, which they post independently and which still support your Maps visibility and the next patient's confidence. Your medico-legal contact signs off on the process.
