Patient query types per medspa: local intent, service-specific, competitor comparison, trust signals, per-treatment cost, and research.
Where does your medspa rank when patients ask AI?
We measure your visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, then engineer the citations that make AI recommend you first.
Are you the answer onAcross ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity.
Five stars won’t make AI recommend you.
A real South Bay medspa, anonymized. Five stars, 100+ reviews. When a patient already knows their name, AI repeats it. But ask the open questions patients ask before they’ve chosen anyone, like which treatment is right or how to pick a medspa, and they’re missing from 11 of the 15.
Getting named when a patient already typed your name isn’t visibility. It’s an echo, and it wins you nobody new. Real AI visibility is being the answer when someone who’s never heard of you asks which medspa to trust. Patients don’t scroll Google anymore. They ask. If you’re not in the answer, you’re not on the list.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity: the surfaces actually producing patient-facing recommendations.

The most-cited names in search are all measuring the same shift: Google is sending fewer clicks, AI is sending better ones, and the businesses that show up inside the answer win the customer.

What medspa owners ask before booking an audit.
01What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) measures whether AI assistants recommend your medspa when patients ask. SEO targets Google’s blue-link results; AEO targets the AI answer itself. Unlike Google rankings, AI surfaces only the top few contenders at a time. If you’re not one of them, you’re not in the conversation.
02Which AI surfaces do you measure?
Exactly five: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity (Perplexity AI). These are the surfaces producing direct recommendations to patients. We run 140 query-runner combinations across 31 patient query types per medspa, then aggregate the results by surface and by competitor.
03What’s in the audit report?
A personalized PDF with your visibility score across 31 patient query types and all five AI surfaces, side-by-side competitor gaps, and ranked fixes ordered by impact. Walked to your front desk within 24 hours of intake.
04Why is the service limited to South Bay medspas?
Geographic exclusivity. One medspa per zip code, locked at signing. If a competitor on the next block buys first, we won’t sell to you, and vice versa. We hand-deliver every report and personally know every market, which only works at a small client cap.
05How quickly do I see results?
Initial audit lands in 24 hours. Ranked recommendations follow within 7 days. We commit to a 30% visibility increase across all five AI surfaces within 90 days (as defined in our terms); if we miss, we refund your most recent month’s retainer (the setup fee is non-refundable, since the deployed infrastructure stays yours).
06What does it cost?
Founding rate is $1,497 setup and $497 per month, locked for the first 5 South Bay medspas. After 5 founding seats are claimed, standard pricing is $3,500 setup and $997 per month. Pricing is held for the life of the engagement at the rate you signed.
