“Best board-certified plastic surgeon near me for rhinoplasty?”
Every signal that put those three in the answer can be built. None of it is luck.
This is where patients decide now, credentials in hand. Two or three names. Everyone else doesn’t exist.
The problem
You built the credentials. AI hands the consult to whoever it can verify.
You built this practice on training, credentials, and the results that follow. But the patient researching rhinoplasty or a mommy makeover now asks ChatGPT, Google, or Perplexity how to verify a surgeon is board certified — and the answer names two or three practices. Usually the ones with the loudest before-and-after galleries, not the ones with your credentials.
Search didn’t die. It moved above the results. AI answers now sit on top of every page Google shows, and a growing share of patients never scroll past them. If your practice isn’t in the answer, the consult goes to whoever is — and you never know the call existed.

of those businesses is all ChatGPT recommends. The answer is two or three names, and the rest are invisible.

Written to your board’s rules. Every piece, every week.
Your state medical board’s rules, the FTC, and ASPS and ABFPRS advertising guidelines. Every piece we publish for you is written to your state medical board’s rules, the FTC’s truth-in-advertising standard, and ASPS and ABFPRS advertising guidelines — “board-certified” is stated only with the board named (ABPS, or the relevant ABMS board). You approve every word before it goes live. Most agencies hand you a draft and hope. We hand you a draft that already passed the rule.
What we will never publish for you:
- ✕Publish retouched or unrepresentative before-and-after photos without a disclaimer
- ✕Call you “board-certified” without the board named
- ✕Promise a guaranteed result
- ✕Publish a patient testimonial or image without a HIPAA-compliant release
The record AI checks
The directories AI checks before it names a plastic surgeon
When an engine decides whether your credentials are real, it reads these first. We claim, correct, and verify every one — same name, same certification, same office, everywhere.
Is your record consistent on every one of these? One mismatch is enough to drop you from the answer. The audit checks each profile against your site.

How your practice becomes the answer
No jargon, no black box. Three moves, run every week, with the evidence in your inbox.
01Measure
Know exactly where you stand
We score your practice 0–100 across the questions patients actually ask in your market — on ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, plus classic search, directories, and reviews. That score is frozen as your baseline. Everything after gets proven against it.
02Build
Publish the authority AI cites
AI engines cite the surgeon whose credentials are verifiable everywhere. We draft that authority for you — what board certification actually means, what to ask in a consult, what recovery honestly looks like — grounded in your specialty’s guidance and carrying the disclosures ASPS and your board require. You approve every word before anything goes live. Directories, entities, and reviews get fixed alongside it.
03Prove
See your name appear
Every week: the same prompts, re-asked. The actual answers, side by side with your baseline. Which engines name you now that didn’t. What moved, what’s next. If a number didn’t move, you’ll see that too — measured honestly or not at all. How we score.
The engagement
One engagement. Everything handled.
This is done-for-you. Your total time commitment is approving content and reading a five-minute weekly report.
Pricing is shared in your audit readout.

Questions
Questions plastic surgeons actually ask
Most of my patients come from word of mouth. Why does AI matter to me?
Because the referral gets verified now. The patient a past client told to “look you up” still checks your credentials online — and increasingly asks AI how to verify them. When the answer names two other surgeons and not you, a warm referral goes cold before it books. Visibility doesn’t replace word of mouth; it stops it from leaking.
Is this compliant with ASPS and FTC advertising rules?
By construction. You approve every word before publication, “board-certified” is never stated without the board named, before-and-after imagery always carries required disclosures, review requests are email-only with no gating, and we never touch patient records. Your compliance review happens before anything is public.
How long until AI starts naming my practice?
Directory and technical fixes usually move numbers inside 30 days. Content authority that changes which surgeons AI cites for procedure questions typically compounds over 60–90 days. You see the evidence weekly from day one — including what hasn’t moved yet, measured honestly, not spun to look better than it is.
We already pay a marketing agency. Isn’t this the same thing?
Ask them one question: “Which AI engines named our practice last week, for which prompts?” If they can’t answer, they’re optimizing for a results page patients are scrolling past. We measure the answers themselves — and traditional SEO is included, not ignored.
Can this help patients verify my board certification specifically?
Yes. We make sure ASPS Find a Surgeon, the ABPS/ABMS lookup, RealSelf, and Healthgrades all show your certification correctly and consistently. When an engine or a patient goes looking to confirm you are who you say you are, the record matches everywhere.
What does an engagement cost?
We share exact pricing in your audit readout, after we’ve seen your market and scope. What you should know now: it’s a done-for-you engagement with market exclusivity — we turn away every competing plastic surgery practice in your market — billed month-to-month with no long-term contract.
What do I get in the free audit — and what’s the catch?
Your 0–100 score, the real prompts patients use in your market, the actual AI answers showing who gets named, and your three biggest gaps — delivered in a 30-minute readout. The “catch”: we take one practice per specialty per market, so the audit is also how we decide fit, on both sides.
