Miami Med Spa AI Visibility Checklist 2026

12 signals that determine whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend your practice — specific to Miami's competitive aesthetic market

Why Miami Is Different

Miami is the highest-density med spa market in the US by population. Brickell, Coral Gables, South Beach, and Wynwood have multiple competing practices within a few blocks. Miami patients are more research-driven than most markets — they ask AI engines about provider credentials, pricing comparisons, and procedure-specific outcomes before booking. The practices winning AI citations are those with the most complete, specific, and verifiable content.

12-Point AI Visibility Checklist for Miami Med Spas

• 1
  AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt HIGH

  Go to yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Confirm GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended are not blocked. This is the gate — without it, no other fix matters.

• 2
  FAQPage schema on each treatment page (Botox, filler, laser, etc.) HIGH

  Only about 1 in 5 Miami med spas has FAQPage schema. Each treatment page needs 5+ Q&A pairs answering what Miami patients actually ask: cost per unit/session, how long it lasts, downtime, who is a good candidate, and what to expect at your specific practice. Run Google's Rich Results Test on each page.

• 3
  RealSelf profile: complete with photos, provider Q&A, and reviews HIGH

  RealSelf is the primary trust signal for aesthetic AI citations. Complete your provider profile with: before/after photos for each treatment, answered patient questions, board certification displayed, and Miami practice location verified. Incomplete profiles are ignored in AI recommendations.

• 4
  Provider credentials visible in crawlable text (not images) HIGH

  Board certifications, medical license numbers, and years of experience must be in HTML text. Many Miami practices display credentials only in images or PDFs — AI crawlers skip these entirely. Include: MD/DO/NP/PA designation, board certifications, specific Miami practice experience.

• 5
  Pricing information on each treatment page HIGH

  Miami patients comparison-shop aggressively. "Botox starts at $12/unit" or "Lip filler from $650/syringe" are extractable facts AI uses to build comparative answers. Practices with pricing information are cited in comparative queries ("cheapest Botox Brickell," "best value lip filler Miami") — those without are invisible to this query type.

• 6
  Entity name identical across website, GBP, Yelp, and RealSelf HIGH

  "Brickell Aesthetics Med Spa" vs "Brickell Aesthetics" vs "Brickell Aesthetics & Wellness" are three different entities to AI systems. Exact name match across all directories is required for entity recognition and citation.

• 7
  Yelp profile: 50+ reviews at 4.5+, business category correct MED

  Yelp carries significant weight for Miami med spa AI citations — Miami is one of the highest Yelp-engagement cities in the US. Category must be "Medical Spas" not "Day Spas." 50+ reviews is the threshold for consistent AI recommendations in Miami's competitive market.

• 8
  Google Business Profile: 30+ reviews at 4.5+, all services listed MED

  Complete GBP with all treatments listed as services, hours current, photos monthly, and Q&A section answered. Miami's competitive market requires 30+ reviews — the bar is higher than most markets because the competition density is higher.

• 9
  MedicalBusiness or HealthAndBeautyBusiness schema with Miami areaServed MED

  Add structured schema to your homepage with areaServed: "Miami, Florida", medicalSpecialty for aesthetic procedures, and provider in employee with credentials. This is the machine-readable entity graph AI systems use.

• 10
  Neighborhood-specific treatment pages for Brickell, Coral Gables, or your area MED

  Miami patients search by neighborhood for aesthetic treatments. "Botox Brickell" and "lip filler Coral Gables" are distinct queries with different competitive sets. One strong neighborhood-specific Botox page consistently outperforms a generic "Miami Botox" page in AI answers.

• 11
  Page speed: 70+ mobile score on PageSpeed Insights MED

  Many Miami med spa sites load slowly due to large before/after photo galleries. Compress images to WebP, lazy-load below-fold gallery images, and remove render-blocking scripts. AI crawlers deprioritize slow pages even with perfect content.

• 12
  Direct AI test: search your treatment + "Miami neighborhood" in ChatGPT and Perplexity MED

  Ask ChatGPT: "best Botox provider Brickell Miami" or "lip filler Coral Gables price." Note who appears and compare their sites to yours. This is the only ground-truth measurement.
