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 Vestavia Hills, 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.

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”).

The FixAI visibility

When a patient asks ChatGPT or Claude for a surgeon in Vestavia Hills, the practices that get named are the ones built to be cited — clean entity data, llms.txt, and citable content. Dr. Skin can own this channel before the market does.

02Social reach

The social profiles we found.

2 public profiles detected at audit time.

03Paid advertising — Google & Meta

Elite Skin is running 4 Google ads.

This is how you tell if a practice is running paid ads. Google publishes an exact ad count per website — a hard signal that they’re paying to show up. Facebook & Instagram don’t, so for Meta we can only search the public Ad Library — a lead to check, not proof. They may run none; they may run plenty. The real creatives are below.

Google counts are exact by domain; the Meta link is a live keyword search, not a verified figure.

05What the site actually ranks for

236 ranked keywords, by search intent.

11% of this traffic is local or procedure searches — the part that books patients in Vestavia Hills.

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.

The FixThe map pack

Dr. Skin 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.

15The opportunities

Where to focus next.

The moves that compound what's already working.

01

When a patient asks ChatGPT or Claude for a dermatologist in Vestavia Hills, this practice isn't named yet. AI search is the fastest-growing, least-contested channel — clean entity data, an llms.txt file and citable content are how you win it.

The verdict

The bottom line.

Elite Skin shows developing search authority and a developing map-pack position. The fundamentals are sound; the win is converting authority into top rankings.
