Where you rank, and the gaps we fix.
For the marketing team
Exactly what the leaders do to win.
01AI search visibility — the open channel
AI search doesn’t yet recommend this practice for the money procedures.
When a patient asks ChatGPT or Claude (with live web search) for cosmetic surgery in Birmingham, they name competitors — not this practice. AI search is the fastest-growing patient-referral channel, and right now it’s a gap. Being citable in AI results (clean entity data, llms.txt, citable content) is the one channel with almost no competition yet.
Here’s who AI names instead
Source: ChatGPT and Claude, both with live web search, queried across the Birmingham metro on the money procedures (breast augmentation, facelift, mommy makeover, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty, “best plastic surgeon”).
When a patient asks ChatGPT or Claude for a surgeon in Birmingham, the practices that get named are the ones built to be cited — clean entity data, llms.txt, and citable content. Dr. PC can own this channel before the market does.
Make the practice citable in AI search — llms.txt, entity schema, citable content, AI-visibility report.
Fix this02Social reach
The social profiles we found.
1 public profile detected at audit time. Only one — worth a deeper look; most established practices run several.
05What the site actually ranks for
425 ranked keywords, by search intent.
12% of this traffic is local or procedure searches — the part that books patients in Birmingham.
Intent tags separate total SEO footprint from local booking demand.

06What’s working
What this practice already has going for it.
- 3.7★ across 15 Google reviews
- Structured schema markup (BreadcrumbList, EntryPoint, ImageObject)
10Google Business Profile
The Google Business Profile.
The free listing behind the map pack — for a local practice, the single most valuable thing to get right.
What the listing has
The opportunity — squeeze more reach
The profile is claimed and well-rated; the reach left on the table is in the parts most practices ignore:
- Only 1 category listed — the market’s leaders run 3–5 (one primary + secondaries). Each category is another set of searches you can surface for.
- Google Posts: most practices post zero. Weekly posts are a freshness signal the 3-pack rewards — free real estate on your listing.
- Seed the Q&A: you write the questions and the answers, so a patient’s first impression is your message, not a competitor’s.
- Services & booking on the profile — let patients book without ever leaving Google.
We rebuild the profile to the standard the market leaders hit — categories, posts, Q&A, services, photos.
Dr. PC sits behind Dr. Bruce S. Eich, MD and others in the local 3-pack — the box that takes most of the clicks and calls. The Business Profile, review volume, and citation consistency are exactly what move a practice up it.
