I publish this guide through Sprout Sage Solutions, my agency, which is included below. I have a commercial interest in that inclusion. This is an agency-published shortlist, not an independent ranking. The alphabetical order does not indicate quality or preference.
Considering ongoing marketing support? I run orthopedic marketing agency services for practices like yours. I can discuss your priorities and possible scope. Fees, responsibilities, account access and handover terms are defined in a written proposal. Request a marketing review
Use this guide to compare scope, then ask each firm for evidence relevant to your practice. I have linked the official pages supporting the descriptions. These pages describe what the agencies offer; they do not independently establish results. I have not interviewed the agencies or audited their client accounts for this guide.
How I selected and described the agencies
The external candidates below have official pages specifically describing orthopedic marketing services. I compared their stated practice focus, channel coverage and measurement approach. The fit notes are my interpretation of those descriptions, not evidence that an agency accepts every practice in that category. Ask about current availability, staffing and delivery before relying on them.
I have not verified current fees, minimum spending requirements, contract length, cancellation terms or ownership provisions. “Not verified” means those details need confirmation; it does not mean they are unavailable or unfavorable. I do not award scores or positions based on unverified results.
| Agency | Official scope | When to discuss fit | Price and contract status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardinal Digital Marketing | Orthopedic page lists SEO, PPC, paid social, conversion optimization, analytics and website design. It discusses adjusting acquisition priorities by location capacity. | A multi-location group comparing an integrated acquisition plan and location priorities. | Current price, minimum spend, term, cancellation and ownership: not verified. |
| Intrepy Healthcare Marketing | Orthopedic page describes mid-to-large groups and MSOs, subspecialty/location SEO, website design, advertising and its reporting dashboard. | A group or MSO evaluating provider, location and subspecialty marketing requirements. | Current price, minimum spend, term, cancellation and ownership: not verified. |
| Practis | Orthopedic page lists website design, content, SEO, PPC, social media and reviews management; it displays orthopedic website examples. | A practice comparing coordinated website, content and acquisition work. | Current price, minimum spend, term, cancellation and ownership: not verified. |
| Sprout Sage Solutions | My agency is the publisher of this guide. Start with a review of your practice website, available service-line capacity and enquiry path. | An owner or administrator seeking my assessment of the acquisition bottleneck and proposed scope. | Request a written scope and contract; no fee or contract terms are established by this table. |

Separate published proof from verified performance
Cardinal publishes orthopedic case studies. Intrepy publishes client examples and dashboard claims. Practis displays orthopedic website examples. These are agency-published materials, not independently audited evidence in this guide. A website example demonstrates a presented project, not a measured acquisition outcome.
Ask a shortlisted agency for a relevant case study with the dates, starting conditions, work performed and outcome definitions. Confirm whether an enquiry meant a form submission, a call, a booked appointment or an attended consultation. Request a permitted reference if appropriate. I do not use another agency’s results as proof of my own work.
Compare the proposed work and terms
Ask each agency for a written scope covering locations, surgeon profiles, clinical review, SEO, paid media, tracking and reporting. Separate agency fees from advertising spend, software, migration and website work. Ask who owns the accounts and content, what happens on cancellation, and whether work can follow the capacity of individual locations and service lines.
Bring your practice priorities to the conversation
Which providers and locations have room to grow? Where are suitable enquiries being lost? Who owns intake and scheduling? Those answers should shape the proposal.
If you would like my view, request an orthopedic practice review. Send your practice website, role, locations and principal growth bottleneck. Do not send patient records through the enquiry form.
