Would AI search recommend your medspa?

When a prospective patient asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews "best medspa near me for Botox," the assistant pulls from sources it can read and trust. AI visibility is how well your clinic's public information is structured so an AI assistant can confidently surface and recommend it.

AI assistants reward clarity. A clinic with structured business data (schema), consistent name/address/phone, a strong review base, and plain-language treatment answers is easier for a model to parse and cite with confidence than a site where that information is buried in images or inconsistent across the web.

Schema.org markup is structured JSON-LD code in your site's HTML that tells search engines and AI crawlers exactly what your business is, where it is, hours, and services. MedicalBusiness is the more specific type for clinics. It is a known machine-readable trust signal.

No. This is a self-assessment checklist you fill in based on what your site currently has. It runs entirely in your browser, stores nothing, and is free. It is built to help you prioritise fixes, not to replace a full technical audit.

NAP = Name, Address, Phone. When these match exactly across your website, Google Business Profile, and directory listings, AI and local search treat your clinic as a single, trustworthy entity. Mismatches create ambiguity that can suppress recommendations.

There is no magic number, but a deeper, actively-maintained review base is a recognised trust signal. As a working benchmark, clinics with 50+ recent Google reviews tend to read as more established to both patients and AI summaries. Treat 50 as a floor, not a finish line. (est.)

llms.txt is an emerging plain-text file at your domain root that signals to AI crawlers which content you want surfaced and how to interpret it. Adoption is early, so having one is a low-cost forward-looking signal rather than a guaranteed ranking factor.

Showing who delivers and oversees treatments (named providers, their qualifications, medical director) builds the experience and trust signals AI assistants weigh. It is also simply good practice for patients choosing a clinic.

No. This scorecard measures machine-readable trust signals only. It does not measure ad performance, pricing, or clinical outcomes, and it makes no medical claims. A strong score makes your clinic easier to find and recommend; it is one input among many.

AI search behaviour is changing quickly. Re-running this checklist each quarter, and after any website rebuild or rebrand, is a sensible cadence to catch signals that have drifted out of sync.
