Under the hood
Growth99 model
Growth99 hosts your site on their platform. If you leave, you lose design, SEO equity, and integrations tied to their ecosystem.
Custom build
You own your Next.js codebase, domain authority, and hosting. Your SEO investment compounds on your domain - portable forever.
Template site
Template layouts look identical across practices. Google struggles to differentiate your brand from hundreds of similar med spa sites.
Custom architecture
Unique design, treatment-specific landing pages, and neighborhood-level schema help you stand out in Miami, NYC, LA, and Austin searches.
Platform exit
Leaving usually means rebuilding from scratch - content export is partial, redirects are messy, and SEO equity is hard to carry.
Marceline migration
We plan cutover: content export, 301 map, schema port, GBP alignment, and week-one Search Console monitoring so rankings survive the move.
The verdict
Growth99 can be a reasonable starting point if you want an all-in-one med spa marketing package with minimal setup. But practices serious about unique branding, competitive SEO, and owning their digital asset long-term benefit from custom healthcare web design.
