Key Differences
What Actually Matters When Choosing
Revenue-First vs. Brand-First
Incredible Marketing builds beautiful brands for aesthetic practices. Their work is visually premium and positions practices as luxury destinations. Grind Flame starts with revenue goals and works backward. We build beautiful websites too, but every design decision is filtered through "does this generate more high-value bookings?" Brand matters, but bookings pay the bills.
Full-Channel vs. Organic-Focused
Incredible Marketing emphasizes website design, SEO, and social media branding. Paid advertising isn't their primary strength. For aesthetic practices where Google Ads and social ads can generate immediate consultation bookings for $5K-$20K procedures, leaving paid media to another vendor (or not running it at all) means significant revenue left on the table.
AI Lead Capture for High-Value Patients
High-value aesthetic patients research procedures at night, on weekends, and during lunch breaks. Incredible Marketing uses standard forms and contact methods. Grind Flame's AI chat engages these patients 24/7, answers procedure-specific questions, provides pricing context, and schedules consultations. For practices where a single booking covers the entire monthly marketing spend, capturing these after-hours leads is transformative.
Broader Medical Expertise
Incredible Marketing focuses primarily on plastic surgery and med spas. Grind Flame serves the full medical spectrum: med spas, dental, plastic surgery, dermatology, and urgent care. Cross-specialty insights sharpen every campaign. Patient conversion patterns from dental marketing inform our med spa strategies. Urgent care reputation tactics improve plastic surgery review velocity. Broader expertise creates better outcomes in every specialty.

FAQ
Common Questions About Grind Flame vs. Incredible Marketing
Is Incredible Marketing good for plastic surgery marketing?
Yes. Incredible Marketing has a genuine track record in plastic surgery marketing. Their strength is brand positioning, luxury design, and aesthetics industry knowledge. The question is whether brand-focused marketing alone is enough for your growth goals. If you need PPC, AI lead capture, reputation management, and revenue attribution alongside a premium web presence, Grind Flame covers the full picture.
Are Incredible Marketing's websites better looking?
Incredible Marketing produces visually premium websites with strong luxury aesthetics. Our websites are also professionally designed, but with a conversion-first philosophy. A beautiful website that doesn't convert is an expensive digital brochure. Both approaches produce quality design. The difference is the primary design objective.
How do I choose between brand-first and revenue-first marketing?
It depends on your growth stage and goals. If your practice is established with strong referrals and you want to elevate your brand positioning, a brand-first agency may be the right fit. If you need more patients, more consultations, and measurable ROI from your marketing spend, a revenue-first partner will deliver more impactful results faster.
Can Grind Flame match Incredible Marketing's luxury positioning?
We build premium, professionally designed websites and marketing assets. Our design quality is strong. Where we differ is that every design decision serves conversion first. Luxury positioning and conversion optimization aren't mutually exclusive. We build sites that look premium AND book consultations at higher rates.
