The chains and the directories hold the city terms. The treatment plus neighbourhood, the practitioner pages and the map pack are where an independent clinic wins, and the practitioner page matters more here than in any other trade, because patients want to know who holds the needle.
Injectables are prescription products in Canada, and the advertising rules on prescription products, together with the provincial colleges’ rules for physicians and nurses, limit what a page may say and how. Every page is written inside them and goes to you first.
The searches in Canada
The shapes med spas are found by in Canada. The words in brackets are whatever the searcher
puts there: the town, the suburb, the matter, the treatment.
- med spa near me
- laser hair removal [city]
- microneedling [city]
- lip filler [neighbourhood]
What is different in Canada
Who performs it is the page
Patients search the practitioner and the credential: nurse injector, physician, dermatologist. A page per practitioner with the registration, the training and the treatments they perform answers the question that decides the booking.
Inside the prescription rules
Prescription products cannot be advertised to the public the way a facial can, and the colleges restrict testimonials and before-and-after claims in several provinces. The pages describe the treatment, the consultation and the recovery, and they go to you before publication.
Treatment plus neighbourhood
The city-wide terms are held by the chains. Laser hair removal in a neighbourhood, microneedling near a transit stop, the map pack and the reviews are where an independent clinic wins.
What a month of work covers for med spas in Canada
- A page for each treatment you offer, with what it involves, downtime and who is not suitable
- Before and after photographs attached to the treatment page rather than a gallery
- Google Business Profile: treatments as services, weekly posts, reviews replied to
- Area pages where your catchment genuinely reaches
- Technical work on image weight, which is the usual speed problem on photo-heavy clinic sites
- Monthly Search Console report by treatment
The industry page, SEO for med spas and aesthetic clinics, has the
problems and the questions in full; the country page, SEO services in Canada, has the search landscape
in Canada for every trade.
The search landscape in Canada
Seasonality decides the calendar
Pages for a seasonal service need to be written and indexed months before the season. Publishing a snow removal page in November is publishing it late.
Province first, city second
A page per province that a business genuinely serves, with city pages underneath only where there is real service, reads as true to both a buyer and to Google. A footer listing every city in Canada does not.
French is a separate job
Quebec search is a different campaign with different pages, written by somebody who writes French natively. We do the English side and say so plainly rather than machine-translating.
Cities in Canada with their own page
Each is written for the way that city searches and for the trades that search there most.
