Losing traffic to AI Overviews and LLMs?

That’s the new normal, and it’s going to keep happening. But it doesn’t make your website any less important than it was pre-AI. It just means your content is being used in new ways to answer people’s health questions, build brand authority, and promote your services and products. No need to compete with AI for traffic — instead, partner with it.

Frequently asked questions

Still learning about GEO and AI search? It’s never the wrong time. Start here and reach out with any questions.

Today’s searchers don’t fully rely on Google. They also use AI-powered search platforms and features. Generative engine optimization (GEO) in healthcare is an evolving set of tactics that improve your visibility in AI-powered search.

Here’s a list of AI answer engines that can cite your website or surface your content to searchers:

  • AI chatbots: Including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity
  • AI Overview: Google’s AI-generated search feature
  • Traditional search engines: Because even Google uses AI in its algorithms to provide users with relevant results
  • Traditional search features: Including “People Also Ask,” featured snippets, video results, image panels, and map results

There’s no one-size-fits-all AI search optimization strategy. The right plan for your healthcare org depends on your goals, market, and audience.

The best place to start is by auditing your brand’s performance across the search landscape — especially on the popular platforms and answer engines. Then, we can build a strategy tailored to your needs and goals.

The project timeline depends on the scope of the project (how many URLs we’re auditing) and our familiarity with your brand.

If you’re already an Aha Media client, we can jump into your audit right away. If you’re new to working with us, we’re thrilled to meet you! We’ll do some discovery work first. You’ll know the timeline before we begin, and we’ll handle project management to keep things on schedule.

Technical SEO is its own beast. (And not the kind that knows ballroom dancing and lives in a castle.) We don’t claim to tame it alone, but we know the fundamentals. Our healthcare SEO and AI search audits include technical elements like:

  • Structured data
  • Page speed
  • Indexing issues
  • CMS capabilities

Some teams can and do audit their own websites. If you’re considering this, ask yourself:

  • Has your team performed a healthcare SEO and GEO audit like this before? If so, what were the results?
  • What’s your team’s capacity to take on a big initiative like an SEO audit right now?
  • Do they have the AI search optimization knowledge to know what to look for and what shifts to make in the age of AI?
  • Do you have a process to turn data into actionable next steps for each URL?
  • How many hours per week can your team devote to this project? Knowing that, how long will it take?

Note: It’s hard to distinguish the forest for the trees. Your team may find it challenging to be objective and critique something they’re invested in. This is one of the greatest advantages of working with an outside team.

Your time to get ahead

Many healthcare orgs are still sleeping on the benefits of AI search optimization. This is your time, and we’re your partners.
