Med Spa GEO Optimization

Why most med spas are invisible in AI search

When patients ask ChatGPT "best Botox near me" or Perplexity "top filler injector in Miami," AI engines pull from structured, crawlable sources — not random Google results. Most med spa websites have four problems that block AI citations:

• Blocking AI crawlers — GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot are blocked in robots.txt on 40–50% of US med spa websites.
• No FAQPage schema — Treatment pages (Botox, fillers, laser hair removal) lack the structured Q&A data that AI engines pull from.
• Generic content — Service pages that say "we offer Botox" instead of directly answering "how much does Botox cost in [city]?" get skipped by AI engines.
• Inconsistent entity signals — Practice name, address, and phone differ across website, Google Business Profile, RealSelf, and Yelp — breaking entity resolution for AI.
