Studio 3 Marketing

Where Studio 3 Marketing fits

Studio 3 Marketing is an aesthetics-exclusive agency that has worked with med spas and aesthetic practices since 2011, operating out of Glendale, California. What sets it apart from most performance agencies is that it leads with creative: in-house custom photography and video production are central to the offering, wrapped around web development, branding, SEO, PPC, social and email. For a practice that sees its visual brand — the look of its before-and-afters, its site, its social feed — as a competitive advantage, that production capability is hard to find elsewhere.

It is best understood as a creative-first specialist that also runs performance channels, rather than a pure paid-media shop. The aesthetics-only focus since 2011 means the team has long-standing familiarity with how med spas present treatments and convert browsers into consults.

What stands out

• Creative production. Custom photography and video in-house is the headline differentiator. Most agencies outsource or skip this; Studio 3 builds the brand's visual assets as part of the engagement.
• Google Premier Partner. This is a meaningful credential — Google reserves the Premier tier for roughly the top 3% of US agencies by performance — and it signals vetted competence in paid search specifically.
• Track record claim. The agency states it has earned more #1 Google rankings for med spas than any other agency. Treat that as a strong self-reported claim rather than an audited fact, but it reflects a clear SEO emphasis.
• One partner, full stack. Creative, web, SEO and paid media under one roof reduces vendor hand-offs.

Where it falls short

• No verified third-party reviews. This is the key caveat. A Clutch profile exists but currently carries zero verified reviews, so we do not assign any numeric third-party rating here. Longevity and Google Premier status are encouraging signals, but they are not the same as corroborated client feedback, and the absence of an external review trail tempers confidence in onboarding and ongoing support specifically.
• Quote-based pricing. Pricing isn't published, and creative-heavy engagements can run higher than execution-only retainers, so the all-in cost may be significant. Scope it carefully.
• Unverifiable superlatives. The '#1 rankings' claim is self-reported and difficult to independently confirm.

Who should choose it

Choose Studio 3 Marketing if your visual brand is central to how you compete and you want custom photography and video produced alongside SEO and paid media by an aesthetics-only specialist. Because there's no third-party review trail yet, do extra diligence: review the portfolio in depth, request references from current med-spa clients, and confirm exactly what creative production is included before signing. The creative capability and Premier Partner credential are real strengths; the missing external validation is the gap you'll need to close yourself.
