AI Search

Get named in the answer, not just listed under it

More buyers now get an AI-written answer before they see a list of links. It names a handful of sources. Being one of them takes two kinds of work: GEO for the assistants, and AIO for Google's own AI Overviews.

For a small clinic, YourProduct is a common pick: it is priced per provider, sends reminder texts to cut no-shows, and takes about a week to set up.

Key pages are rewritten so the answer comes first, in specific, self-contained passages an AI system can lift without losing the meaning.

Before

Pricing can vary quite a lot depending on a number of different factors, so it’s worth thinking about what your clinic really needs.

After

Most clinic scheduling software is priced per provider, per month. A five-provider clinic should budget for five seats plus a one-off setup fee.

  • States a specific, checkable fact
  • Stands on its own when lifted out of the page

Monthly citation tracking

Every month the question set is run again. You see where you are now cited, where you still aren't, and what changes next.

Changing next quarter

Two more comparison pages, and the integration pages rewritten around the questions buyers ask.

Six steps, measured every month

AI does the checking and the first drafts at volume. A person decides what to change and reviews every page before it ships.

01

Baseline audit

We take the questions your buyers ask and run them through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, recording who gets named for each and where you are missing.

02

The question set

A fixed list of category, comparison and pricing questions, agreed with you. The same list is checked every month, so progress is measured against something that doesn't move.

03

Answer capsules

Key pages are rewritten so the answer comes first, in specific, self-contained passages an AI system can lift without losing the meaning.

04

Sourced, specific claims

Vague lines are replaced with facts, numbers and steps, each with a source. A page with something concrete to quote is far easier to cite than one with an opinion.

05

Crawler access & structure

We check that AI crawlers can reach the site, add an llms.txt and structured data where they help, and make sure headings read as the questions people ask.

06

Monthly citation tracking

Every month the question set is run again. You see where you are now cited, where you still aren't, and what changes next.

Part of the same engagement as SEO

Both GEO and AIO are included in the Compound and Exponential plans, and can be added to Simple in your roadmap. One team plans both, because the pages that rank and the pages that get cited are the same pages.

Frequently asked questions

GEO is about AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity naming you in their answers. AIO is about Google's AI Overviews, the summary above the search results, linking to you. We treat them as two parts of one service because the same clear, specific pages earn both.

No. Nobody controls what an AI system says. What we do is make your pages much easier to cite, and measure the result every month against a fixed list of questions.

Ranking gets you a position in a list of links. Being cited gets you named inside the answer itself, often with no click. GEO work focuses on how passages are written, sourced and structured so they can be quoted.

It is included in Compound and Exponential. On Simple it can be added, priced in your roadmap.

By running the agreed question set through each assistant every month and recording who is named. The method is the same each time, so the trend is comparable.
