AI visibility for multi-location healthcare

When patients ask AI, five names come back. We make sure one of them is yours.

Forty-five percent of consumers now ask AI for local recommendations — up from six percent a year earlier. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot each return one to five businesses. There is no second page.

The problem is not your website

Why SEO retainers have not moved it

Brands are roughly six times more likely to be cited through third-party sources than their own domain. For local healthcare the gap is wider still.

When someone asks an engine for a recommendation, it resolves names from Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Foursquare, Yelp and review platforms — then ranks what it finds by review quality and recency. Your site is barely in that decision.

Every incumbent agency sells on-site optimisation. The recommendation layer is mostly off-site. That is the gap we work in.

Four engines, four different indexes. An agency optimising only for Google is working on one surface out of four.
