Marketing · Answer engine optimization
Show up when patients ask ChatGPT.
More and more patients skip the ten blue links and ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI overview which clinic to book. Answer engine optimization (AEO) is how your practice shows up in that answer. Here is what those assistants actually read, in plain words, and what Mia, your AI marketing agent, does about it every week.

The guide
What is answer engine optimization, in plain words.
Until recently, a patient searched "dentist near me" on Google and picked from ten links. Today more and more of them ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI overview instead, and get a single answer that recommends two or three practices. Answer engine optimization (AEO), also called generative engine optimization (GEO) or ChatGPT SEO, is the work of making your clinic one of them.
It is not magic and it is not a new trick. Assistants build their answer from what already exists about you online: your Google Business Profile, your recent reviews, the content on your website and what other sites say about you. If that information is complete, current and consistent everywhere, you have a real shot. If it is half done, they skip you.

SEO vs AEO: what changes
| Aspect | SEO | AEO / GEO |
|---|---|---|
| Where you show up | In Google's list of results | Inside the answer from ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI overview |
| What they read | Keywords, links, site speed | Your Google Business Profile, your reviews, direct answers and consistent facts |
| What format wins | Long, well-linked pages | Questions with a short, clear answer, plus FAQs |
| How it is measured | Rankings and clicks on Google | Profile searches, calls, visits and enquiries. Assistant mentions, not reliably yet |
How Mia does it
An AI marketing agent that does your ChatGPT SEO, every week.
This is a real weekly recap from Mia, exactly as it lands on your text line. She does not send you an audit to work through yourself: she rewrites, updates and publishes, then tells you what she did and what she proposes for next week.
Nothing goes live without your approval: Mia proposes, you approve over chat and she runs it. And the patient who shows up asking gets answered and booked by Sara, around the clock. Meet Mia.
Mia Active now Generative engine optimization (GEO), done for you every week.
Mia checks how you are described
She reads your Google Business Profile, your website, your reviews and what other sites say about you, and flags what is missing, outdated or contradictory.
She completes, fixes and publishes every week
Updates the profile, rewrites the answers on your site, asks for reviews through Sara and keeps the facts identical everywhere.
She tells you what changed
Every week she messages you by text: profile searches, calls, visits and enquiries, and what she proposes for the next one.
Google Business Profile
A Google Business Profile that is complete and current.
It is the first thing Google and the assistants read when someone asks about a clinic nearby. Mia keeps it complete: real hours, every treatment, recent photos and a description that says what you do. A half-finished profile is a clinic that, as far as the AI is concerned, does not exist.
- Hours, treatments and address always up to date
- Recent photos, not the ones from two years ago
- New reviews every week, requested by Sara

Content that gets quoted
Content written the way assistants quote it.
An assistant does not quote filler paragraphs: it quotes the direct answer to a specific question. Mia publishes articles on your site that answer what your patients actually ask, with the answer at the top and the detail below, plus an FAQ section. No prices, and nothing goes live without your approval.
- Real questions from your patients, not generic topics
- The direct answer in the first few lines
- FAQs at the end of every article

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?
Short answer
Most people need 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on the area and hair type. After that, a touch-up once or twice a year.
FAQs
- Does it hurt?
- Can I be in the sun after a session?
- Does it work on light hair?
Reviews and facts
Recent reviews and the same facts everywhere they look.
Two things that weigh more than they seem. Recent reviews tell the assistant the clinic is active and how patients are treated; Sara asks for them after every appointment, with the direct link. And your name, address, phone and hours have to say the same thing on your profile, your site and your Instagram: Mia checks them and fixes them.
- Sara asks for the review at the right moment, a single click
- Your clinic facts, identical on profile, site and Instagram
- Your Instagram kept active, Mia runs it too
Sara Active now Agency vs Mia
An AEO agency vs Mia.
Answer engine optimization agencies sell audits and reports. Mia does the work: every week, on your profile, your site and your reviews, and she messages you what changed. No meetings, no waiting for the monthly report, and Sara answering whoever shows up.
| Aspect | AEO agency | Mia |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | An initial audit and a monthly report | Changes made every week to your profile and your site |
| Who does the work | You or your team, from a to-do list | Mia, and she tells you by text |
| How you find out | A monthly meeting or a PDF | One message a week with what changed and what she proposes |
| Reviews | They tell you to ask for more | Sara asks after every appointment |
| The patient who arrives | Lands on your contact form | Answered and booked by Sara, around the clock |
Get found when patients ask, not just when they search.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO is showing up in Google's list of results. AEO (answer engine optimization) is showing up inside the answer an assistant like ChatGPT or Google's AI overview gives. GEO (generative engine optimization) is another name for the same work, with the focus on generative engines. In practice they go together: almost everything that helps AEO also helps your SEO.
Does AEO replace SEO?
No, it builds on it. Assistants read the same sources Google already reads: your profile, your website, your reviews. What changes is the format that wins: direct answers, FAQs and consistent facts matter more than ever. If your SEO is in good shape, AEO is the next step; if it is not, they get done together.
Can you guarantee my clinic shows up in ChatGPT?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises it. Nobody controls what an assistant answers. What you do control is what assistants read about your clinic: a complete profile, a website that answers clearly, recent reviews and facts that match everywhere. That is what Mia works on every week.
How do I know if it is working?
With what can actually be measured today: how many times your profile showed up in searches, how many calls and visits came from Google, and how many enquiries Sara handled. Mia sums it up for you every week. What cannot be measured reliably yet is how many times an assistant mentioned you, and we will not show you a made-up number.
What does Mia actually do each week?
She checks your Google Business Profile and completes or fixes it, publishes articles on your site with direct answers and FAQs, asks for reviews through Sara, keeps the facts identical across your site, your profile and your Instagram, runs your Instagram, and messages you what changed and what she proposes next. Nothing goes live without your approval.
Does this work for dental offices and med spas?
Yes, that is where it shows the most, because these are local searches with intent to book. We have dedicated pages on dental SEO and med spa SEO with the details for each; they are linked higher up on this page.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is built for each clinic, based on country and size, and shared in the demo. Mia works on the same account as Sara; in the demo we go over what each plan includes.
