Plastic Surgery Singapore Google Search Results

If you search the keyword plastic surgery Singapore, you’ll most likely see the first three entries from SEM and followed by Google Map, which has a very high CTR. Based on my campaign for other clients, it actually yields more traffic than the organic results below.

You can see that the first one here is an SEM, then we have MH Plastic Surgery, Shens Clinic, then followed by Sweng Plastic Aesthetic.

Plastic Surgery Singapore Google My Business

Let’s take a look at MH Plastic Surgery.

I can say that they’re doing well. They have 10 reviews, which is good. What you need to do if you’re in this industry is get a lot of reviews for your Google My Business listing. It’s part of the ranking factors for Google My Business listing. For MH’s business name, for me, it’s a little bit too long. What they are doing is they’re inserting a lot of other keywords to rank up for them as well.

Let’s move on to Shens Clinic.

They have 38 reviews. They have good ongoing reviews. Take note of their business category. They’re listed under plastic surgery clinic in Singapore, which is correct. As for their photos, it’s okay but I think they can still do better. You can actually upload more photos. Usually I suggest about 30-50 photos and videos so you can show what your business is about. They also inputted other important information such as business hours, contact number, etc.

Next, we have Sweng Plastic.

They have 55 reviews and they have great content as well.

Take note that if you ask your customers or clients to give you reviews on Google My Business listing, try to ask them to be a little bit more detailed and avoid just giving 5 stars and leaving the comment section blank. It will look spammy. If you have bad reviews, try to respond to it.

For example, Sweng did a great job by addressing the concern right away. It’s better to do this than to ignore it altogether.

What you should do

Let’s say if you have Google My Business listing, what you should do to outrank these competitors are:

• insert the keyword in your business name
• have the correct business category in order to rank up for in your industry
• upload more photos and videos to showcase your products or services

Organic Results

Now let’s take a look at the top organic search results.

The first one is thegirl.co’s page on best plastic surgery clinics in Singapore.

It’s actually like a magazine website that talks about beauty, lifestyle, weddings, etc. Let’s delve deeper using Ahrefs.

You can see that this page alone gets more than 200 visitors per month. The page is recently published, so they’re currently ranking up. These are their top 5 keywords:

All these keywords are very relevant to the business. You can actually rank up for them as well. For this particular page, there are no backlinks yet. However, the domain itself has a lot of backlinks.

For this site, they have more than 27,000 backlinks.

Since they’ve just published the content, it’s not gaining backlinks yet. What you can is, if you’re running a clinic, you can actually outreach to them and ask if they can include your clinic in their list. That will give you an instant page one ranking exposure.

The second result is Sweng.sg. This is an actual clinic and the site looks good in general. It has a lot of content. The call-to-action is there.

Their number of backlinks is not a lot, you can overtake in this aspect. These are their top five keywords which you can rank up as well:

Their top five pages are generating a lot of keywords for them.

Let’s take a look at their backlinks.

It generally looks okay. Not so spammy, some are but not a lot. They’re getting quite good links. Some links are from other countries, but it’s okay. It’s workable for them, which is good.

The next week is BeautyInsider.SG. It’s the same with the first result. It’s a beauty website. And the ranking page is also a list of plastic surgeons in Singapore.

Let’s take a look at the overview of this page.

As you can see, it shows that this page has more than 51,000 backlinks. What I think is it’s not actually showing the stats for this page exactly. What it’s actually showing is the domain overview.

We can also see that this page shoot up by a lot in the beginning of this year.

Their top 5 keywords talk about other things. That tells us that plastic surgery is not their main focus. But they are still ranking well for plastic surgery Singapore.

Let’s take a look at their backlinks. It’s actually the same thing. There is a number of spam links from other countries. It’s perfectly fine.

Let’s say you are running a plastic surgery clinic. The first thing to do is you can actually do the optimisation for your website. Obtain a lot of links. One shortcut, as I’ve mentioned earlier, is to approach those websites that feature lists where your business can be included. You can instantly appear in page one and gain some traffic. I’m not sure if you will be asked for payment but it’s worth a try. If they charge something less than $1000, I think that’s still good considering the benefits where you can easily convert clients.
