The findings
Nearly 9 in 10 won’t tell you the price
78% hide pricingOnly 15 of 68 agencies publish a starting price — the other 78% make you book a sales call first. Where pricing is public, managed retainers run from $199 to $18,500/mo (median ~$1,500). That opacity is the single biggest source of friction for an owner trying to compare options.
Most “med spa” agencies are generalists
Only 13% specializeJust 9 of 68 agencies work exclusively in aesthetics. The majority serve med spas alongside dentists, lawyers and contractors — “med spa marketing” is often a landing page, not a specialty. That matters: the compliance rules and patient psychology in aesthetics aren’t something you pick up on the side.
The tell: SEO agencies that can’t rank themselves
12 rank top-3 for nothingWe measured every agency’s own organic footprint. Of 62 selling SEO, 30 (48%) get under 500 organic visitors a month to their own website, and 12 rank in Google’s top 3 for exactly zero keywords. Each bar below is one agency’s monthly organic traffic, sorted — the field collapses from one giant down to single digits. An SEO agency that can’t rank itself is the loudest signal in the dataset.
84%
Contracts are a black box
Only 11 clearly offer month-to-month. The rest don’t state whether you’re locked in — and none publish a minimum term.
15%
Thin footprint of their own
10 of 68 have little or no Google reviews — some selling reputation management. The rated ones average 4.75★.
29%
Asking for blind trust
Show no case studies at all. With hidden pricing and undisclosed contracts, that’s a lot asked of an owner on faith.
