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 Houston, 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 Houston 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 Houston, the practices that get named are the ones built to be cited — clean entity data, llms.txt, and citable content. Dr. Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery can own this channel before the market does.
Make the practice citable in AI search — llms.txt, entity schema, citable content, AI-visibility report.

07Organic search vs. the Google map pack
Where Dr. Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery ranks — organic search vs. the local map pack.
Dr. Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery hits #14 in the map pack at its strongest location — but that's proximity to one office, not metro reach. Across the metro the website peaks at #2 organically, and organic is the visibility that travels beyond the immediate area. The geo-grid below shows the real metro coverage.
08Site speed & Core Web Vitals
Site speed is reasonable, with clear room to improve.
Google’s Lighthouse scores the site 0–100 and speed is a confirmed ranking factor — we fix it. On mobile the site scores 65/100 for performance — the main area to address — alongside 100/100 SEO and 100/100 best-practices.

At 65/100 on mobile and a 7.0 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 2.0% of the metro.
We ran “plastic surgeon” from 49 GPS points across the metro and recorded the practice’s local-pack rank at each. The result, in one picture: top-3 in 2% of the area and top-10 in 2%, strongest around 2311 Bissonnet St and tapering toward the edges of the metro.
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. Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery sits behind Lift Plastic Surgery 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.
When a patient asks ChatGPT or Claude for a plastic surgeon in Houston, 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.
Local-pack reach is thin — top-10 across only 2% of the metro, averaging #13.3. Profile completeness, categories, review velocity and citation consistency are exactly what move a practice up the 3-pack.
★The verdict
The bottom line.
Dr. Kristy Hamilton Plastic Surgery shows developing search authority and a developing map-pack position. The fundamentals are sound; the win is converting authority into top rankings.
