Your patients are asking ChatGPT for a dentist. ChatGPT is recommending someone else.
Cosmetic dental, family practice, ortho, perio — every patient acquisition channel ran through Google for 20 years. Then AI Overviews + ChatGPT Search ate the top result. Now when someone in your zip code types 'best invisalign dentist' or 'cosmetic dental crown near me' into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini — they get one practice's name. If it's not yours, you're losing 8-15 net-new patients per month to a competitor whose URL got cited.

What we'll get you cited for
The 10 queries your prospects are asking AI right now.
Every dentist firm we work with has the same problem: prospects ask ChatGPT or Perplexity, and the AI names a competitor. Here's the list we'll engineer your citation for.
“Best cosmetic dentist in [city]”
“Top Invisalign provider in [city]”
“Veneers cost [city]”
“Dental crown procedure pain”
“Dentist who accepts [insurance] near me”
“Pediatric dentist with sedation”
“Same-day dental implant [city]”
“Best dentist for veneers + Botox combo”
“Snap-on smile vs veneers cost comparison”
“Cosmetic dentist with financing options”
The Diagnosis
Why AI engines aren't citing you yet.
Most dentists websites fail AI citation for the same reasons. Each one is fixable. We've seen them all.
- No FAQ schema on procedure pages (LLMs love structured Q&A)
- Missing or thin Google Business Profile attributes (no procedure list, no insurance accepted)
- Zero Wikipedia/Wikidata presence — LLMs read Wikidata for entity disambiguation
- Reviews under 4.6 average (LLMs disproportionately quote 4.6+ businesses)
- Generic homepage copy with no 'top 10 questions' content — LLMs can't find quotable answers
- No procedure-specific landing pages (each procedure should have its own indexed URL)
- Practice name inconsistency across directories (NAP drift — LLMs penalize)
Expected lift
Practices typically lift from 5-15/100 visibility score to 55-75/100 within 90 days. Above 70 sustained = top recommendation in 60%+ of local queries.

What We Ship
Three layers of AI citation engineering.
01 / Schema
Structured data LLMs read first.

- FAQPage schema on each procedure landing page
- MedicalProcedure schema with cost ranges + recovery time
- Review schema with aggregated rating

- Person schema for each provider with credentials + specializations
02 / Citations
Authority sources LLMs quote.
- Healthgrades — LLMs cite Healthgrades reviews and provider profiles heavily for healthcare queries
- ZocDoc — Patient-facing booking platform LLMs reference for availability + reviews
- ADA Find-a-Dentist — Authoritative directory; appearing here signals legitimacy to LLMs
- Yelp — Highest local-search weight on AI engines; reviews are quoted directly
- Google Business Profile — Google AI Overview pulls directly from your GBP; complete profile = higher cite rate
03 / Content
Quotable surface area for every query.
- Procedure-FAQ pages targeting the top 20 patient questions per procedure
- Cost transparency content (LLMs love specific pricing — vague gets skipped)
- Insurance-acceptance content (one page per major insurer)
- Patient-journey content (consultation → procedure → recovery)
- Provider bio pages with credentialing + specialty content
