Frequently asked questions

Why should my practice care about AI search?

45% of consumers now use AI tools like ChatGPT to find local businesses - up from 6% a year ago. When someone asks "best dentist near me" or "personal injury lawyer in Austin," AI gives them a direct answer. If you are not in that answer, you are invisible to a growing share of potential clients.

What AI engines do you actually query?

ChatGPT (GPT-4o-mini), Gemini (2.0 Flash), Claude (Haiku 4.5), and Perplexity (Sonar). 15 prompts each, 60 total. Real API calls, real responses. We do not simulate, estimate, or scrape cached results.

What does the score measure?

Five dimensions: Brand Recognition (30%) - does AI know your practice exists? Competitive Position (25%) - does AI recommend you or a competitor? Contextual Relevance (20%) - right services and location? Sentiment (15%) - positive or negative? Citation (10%) - does AI link to your site?

Why do you ask for my email?

To send you the full report. We will also send tips based on your score. No sales calls unless you ask. Unsubscribe anytime.

My SEO agency says we rank well on Google. Is this different?

Yes. Google rankings and AI recommendations are different systems. A practice can rank #1 on Google and still be invisible to ChatGPT and Gemini. AI engines pull from structured data, reviews, and directory accuracy - not just backlinks and keywords. This tool measures the signals Google does not.

How often should I re-run this?

AI models update constantly. What they say about your practice today may differ in 90 days. We recommend quarterly scans - the same cadence you would check your Google rankings.

Still reading? The practice down the street already knows their score.
