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 a plastic surgeon in Port Charlotte, 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 Fort Myers 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 Port Charlotte, the practices that get named are the ones built to be cited — clean entity data, llms.txt, and citable content. Dr. Castilla 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
No public social presence found.
We couldn’t locate active public profiles (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube) for this practice. That’s a visible gap — social proof feeds patient trust, and increasingly it feeds the AI and search signals that decide who gets recommended.
06What’s working
What this practice already has going for it.
- 4.8★ across 281 Google reviews
- Structured schema markup (ContactPoint, ImageObject, MedicalOrganization)

Maria Castilla, MD reaches the map pack (best #6); the organic website barely ranks.
08Site speed & Core Web Vitals
Site speed is the clearest technical opportunity.
Google’s Lighthouse scores the site 0–100 and speed is a confirmed ranking factor — we fix it. On mobile the site scores 47/100 for performance — the main area to address — alongside 100/100 SEO and 73/100 best-practices.

At 47/100 on mobile and a 34.7 s largest-paint, the site is slow enough that both Google and patients feel it. Speed is a confirmed ranking factor and a direct booking-rate lever — every second of load time costs consults.
Core Web Vitals remediation — caching, image compression, lazy-loading, deferred scripts.
Fix this09Local visibility — live geo-grid
Their map pack, mapped — top-10 across 21.4% of the metro.
We ran “plastic surgeon” from 28 GPS points across the metro and recorded the practice’s local-pack rank at each. The result, in one picture: top-3 in 0% of the area and top-10 in 21.4%, strongest around 2525 Harbor Blvd Ste 105 and tapering toward the edges of the metro.

15The opportunities
Where to focus next.
The highest-impact moves — easiest wins first.
When a patient asks ChatGPT or Claude for a surgeon in Port Charlotte, 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 homepage carries no rich schema markup. Adding it makes pages eligible for star ratings, FAQ drop-downs and richer local/map results — a fast, mechanical win that also helps AI engines read the site.
Local-pack reach is thin — top-10 across only 21.4% of the metro, averaging #5.2. Profile completeness, categories, review velocity and citation consistency are exactly what move a practice up the 3-pack.
Mobile performance is 47/100 — usually the hero image plus render-blocking assets. A focused fix raises it without a rebuild, and speed feeds both Google rankings and booking conversions.
★The verdict
The bottom line.
Maria Castilla, MD shows developing search authority and a developing map-pack position. The clearest opportunity is mobile performance (47/100).
