AI Search · Answer Engine Optimization

Patients are asking AI. Make sure it answers with you.

More and more people skip the search bar and ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude to recommend a chiropractor. AI doesn't show ten results. It names a few clinics. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is how we make sure yours is one of them.

What we believe

Own your traffic on Google. Own it on AI, too.

Our whole approach to Found is about owning your traffic instead of renting it. Local SEO is how you own it on Google. AEO is how you own it on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and every other AI platform people now ask for recommendations. If your clinic isn't in those answers, you're missing patients you'll never even know about.

How AI picks a clinic

Different engines. Different rules.

An AI platform doesn't rank your website the way Google does. It gathers what the whole web says about you, decides who it trusts, and names a handful of clinics. Each platform leans on different sources, so winning here takes its own kind of work.

Why now

The clinics that move first become the default answer.

AI platforms lean on signals that take time to build: reviews, mentions, consistent listings, trusted content. Clinics that start building them now are the ones AI keeps naming as more patients switch. The ones that wait will be catching up.

You'll see where you stand

We check what AI says about you.

We regularly ask the major AI platforms the questions your future patients ask, for your area, and track whether your clinic is named. You see it in your live dashboard, alongside your Google rankings.

FAQ

Questions clinic owners ask about AI search.

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization. It's the work of making sure AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude recommend your clinic when someone nearby asks them for a chiropractor.

Do my patients really use AI to find a chiropractor?

More every month. According to Pew Research Center, 34% of U.S. adults use AI chatbots for health reasons, including 40% of adults aged 30 to 49 and 32% of those aged 50 to 64.

Isn't this the same as SEO?

No. AI platforms don't rank websites the way Google does. They pull from listings, reviews, mentions and content across the web, and each one leans on different sources. It takes its own strategy and its own work.

Which AI tools do you optimize for?

The ones your patients use: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. As new ones gain ground, we add them.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my clinic?

No one controls what an AI says, so no honest agency can guarantee it. What we control is every signal these tools look at, and we work on all of them.

How will I know it's working?

We regularly check which clinics the major AI platforms recommend for your local searches, and show you where you stand in your live dashboard.
