01AI search visibility — what ChatGPT and Claude recommend
ChatGPT and Claude name this practice for 2 of the money procedures.
When a patient asks ChatGPT and Claude (with live web search) for a plastic surgeon in Houston, they cite this practice 3 times across our queries — best position #1. AI search is the fastest-growing patient-referral channel and the one with the least competition. These are the procedures it recommends them for:
Also winning AI search in this market
Source: ChatGPT and Claude, both with live web search — the same grounded answers patients get, not training-data guesses. Queried across the Houston metro on the money procedures.
ChatGPT and Claude already cite Dr. Longo for 2 procedures — the work is to widen that lead and lock in citations before competitors catch up, while AI search is still uncontested.
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.
05What the site actually ranks for
242 ranked keywords, by search intent.
64% of this traffic is local or procedure searches — the part that books patients in Houston.
Intent tags separate total SEO footprint from local booking demand.

06What’s working
What this practice already has going for it.
- 4.8★ across 61 Google reviews
- Google map-pack coverage — top-10 across 30.6% of the metro
07Organic search vs. the Google map pack
Where Marc N Longo, MD, FACS ranks — organic search vs. the local map pack.
Marc N Longo, MD, FACS hits #2 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 #3 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 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 25/100 for performance — the main area to address — alongside 92/100 SEO and 100/100 best-practices.

How long the page is frozen and can’t respond to taps while background code runs. Good is under 200ms.Learn more →
At 25/100 on mobile and a 9.0 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 30.6% of the metro.
We ran “oculoplastic 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 22.4% of the area and top-10 in 30.6%, strongest around 7500 San Felipe St #200 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. Longo 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.
Rebuild the Google Business Profile to the standard the market leaders hit — categories, services, posts, Q&A, photos.

Fix this11Under the hood — how it’s built
The technology behind the results.
The site publishes 0 URLs in its sitemap. The signals that tell Google what this site is.
Built on WordPress.
No structured data detected.
<title> meta (none set) H1×0 · H2×0 · H3× · canonical ✓ · robots ✓ What this site tells Google in code.
Schema tells Google and AI what this practice is — we make sure it says the right thing.
We run this technical X-ray across thousands of pages at once.
13The full sitemap
No XML sitemap detected.
An XML sitemap is the master list a site hands Google so every page gets indexed — we couldn’t find one at the usual paths.
Without a sitemap, Google may not discover every page — pages that exist but never get crawled can’t rank.
Most local practices publish 15–40 indexed URLs. A clean sitemap makes sure each one counts.
Generating and submitting a proper XML sitemap is quick, low-cost, and high-impact — one of the first things we tighten.
14The bottom line
The whole picture, four ways.
Everything we found, distilled — how we’d brief a strategy meeting on this practice in thirty seconds.

15The opportunities
Where to focus next.
The moves that compound what's already working.
