In His Own Words

Hear it from
Dr. Lynam.

Why Richmond trusts him: on the market he's served for years and the craft of plastic surgery itself, in his own words.

On the Richmond market & understanding plastic surgery

The Model

One team.
Four disciplines.

Not a vendor for one channel. The complete solution. Each discipline feeds the next, and we've run all four for the same client, in the same direction, for years.

The Richmond Surgical Arts team with Dr. Gregory T. Lynam
I

Video

The engine. Patient stories and procedure content that pull new cases in.

II

SEO

Authoritative pages that keep climbing, and keep the phone ringing.

III

Web

A fast, deep site built to turn visitors into booked patients.

IV

Social

Run in-house, genuinely good. We supply the video; their team brings the daily pulse.

The Network

One practice.
A network of sites.

The playbook doesn't stop at one domain. We build dedicated authority sites for the highest-value niches (hormones, implant replacement, scarless augmentation), each one ranking on its own and feeding the practice. Same engine, more front doors.

The Content

Great content
makes great websites.

We build a deep well of real content (staff, photography, stills and video), then put it to work across the website, the blog and social. Great pages are built from great content, and ours keeps the site deep, fresh and ranking.

fresh content, always
A site that only gets deeper, fresher, and higher-ranking.

Great content doesn't expire. We keep feeding the site so it stays found and keeps booking patients. No slowdown, no rebuild.

Video-First · SEO

No silver bullet.
Just steady work.

And that's fine. Individually the videos don't pull huge view counts, but together they move the needle. They make the pages deeper, more authoritative and more useful, and that's what the Richmond market and the search engines have always rewarded.

It's a slow, compounding advantage, and the SEO is still growing, because the strategy never chased the trend. It built the library.

The Pillar Page

High-authority pages
win the long game.

Rich, deep content is what ranks, and keeps ranking. The breast-augmentation pillar page (gallery, patient videos, FAQs, implant types, recovery, testimonials and a wall of citations) is the deepest, most authoritative page in the market. And it's still getting better.

Breast augmentation pillar page on richmondsurgicalarts.com — top to bottom

One page, top to bottom (auto-scrolling). Doing the work of twenty, exactly the depth that earns the ranking.

Collaboration

Great social is
a collaboration.

RSA's social is run in-house, and it's great. None of the “Happy Mother's Day” filler that passes for a content calendar most places. We work directly with Jenny Warden, their internal rockstar, and make real content together. The result is a loop that's hummed for years.

Continuity

About two years back, the practice was acquired by a VC group.

New ownership, new structure, and the partnership didn't skip a beat. When the system works and the relationship is real, it survives the things that usually break agency relationships. It just kept working.

The Results

A partnership
that performs.
