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 plastic surgery in Henrico, 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 Richmond 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 Henrico, the practices that get named are the ones built to be cited — clean entity data, llms.txt, and citable content. Dr. Burke 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.
3 public profiles detected at audit time.
03Paid advertising — Google & Meta
No Google ads found for Facial Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery.
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.

05What the site actually ranks for
221 ranked keywords, by search intent.
49% of this traffic is local or procedure searches — the part that books patients in Henrico.
Intent tags separate total SEO footprint from local booking demand.

06What’s working
What this practice already has going for it.
- 51 referring domains — the #181 backlink profile in the market
- 4.7★ across 142 Google reviews
- Structured schema markup (BreadcrumbList, EntryPoint, ImageObject)
07Organic search vs. the Google map pack
Dr. Alan Burke owns the local map pack — but organic is where the metro is won.
Dr. Alan Burke hits #1 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 #6 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 32/100 for performance — the main area to address — alongside 92/100 SEO and 69/100 best-practices.

At 32/100 on mobile and a 6.4 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 22.4% 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 6.1% of the area and top-10 in 22.4%, strongest around 3450 Mayland Ct 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. Burke sits behind Reddy 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.

Fix this12Inbound links — who vouches for this site
51 websites link here.
What is an inbound link? When another website links to this one, Google counts it as a vote of confidence — and the more authoritative and relevant the linking site, the more that vote counts. Links are one signal Google weighs — but not the whole story: a site can carry plenty of them and still rank mid-pack if its map presence, reviews, or speed lag. They move the needle most when the rest is already in place. Here are the highest-authority sites pointing to it.
Pulling, scoring and (where needed) building this kind of authority is core to what we do — the strongest, most relevant links are the ones that move rankings and are hardest for competitors to match.

Everything we found, distilled — how we’d brief a strategy meeting on this practice in thirty seconds.
- #181 backlinks in market

- Thin organic rankings
- Lift front-end performance
- Convert authority into organic rankings
- Faster, better-linked competitor sites
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 Henrico, 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 22.4% of the metro, averaging #7.9. Profile completeness, categories, review velocity and citation consistency are exactly what move a practice up the 3-pack.
Mobile performance is 32/100 — 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.
Dr. Alan Burke shows developing search authority and a developing map-pack position. The clearest opportunity is mobile performance (32/100).
