GEO for dental clinics: how to get cited by AI
Dentistry is medical YMYL with high commercial intent: AI engines strictly check who wrote the content and whether a doctor reviewed it. To get cited you need a dentist byline, sourced claims and transparent service prices.
Where you lose AI answers
- AI cites clinic aggregators and marketplaces, not your own site.
- Articles with no dentist author or reviewer are dropped as untrustworthy.
- For 'how much does it cost' AI quotes competitors — your prices aren't structured.
