GEO, AEO and SEO for healthcare and clinics
Patients ask an AI “best dermatologist in Indiranagar” or “is this symptom serious” before they book. Health is a your-money-or-your-life category, so engines cite only sources they can verify: named doctors with credentials, clinic profiles that agree with each other, and pages with a medical reviewer and a date. Citemark builds that trust layer and tracks which local health prompts cite your clinic.

These are the kinds of questions buyers in this category put to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. The audit replaces them with the exact ones for your business, and shows who gets cited today.
- “best dental clinic near HSR Layout”
- “IVF success rates and cost in Bangalore”
- “physiotherapy for ACL recovery in Bangalore, what does it cost”
- “which hospital in Bangalore for knee replacement”
What's different
What's different about search in healthcare & clinics
Credentials are the gate
Experience, expertise, authority and trust aren’t slogans here — a page without a named, registered doctor behind it is rarely cited for a health question.Local is everything
Google Business Profile, Practo and Justdial listings, and reviews decide most clinic prompts. One inconsistent address or phone number across them costs more than any blog post gains.Claims are regulated
Advertising rules for medical practice restrict outcome and superlative claims. The content that gets cited is the content that explains — conditions, procedures, what to expect, what it costs.
What we do
What Citemark does for you
The same three disciplines as every engagement — SEO, AEO and GEO — with the workstreams weighted for this category. One team, one monthly report.
- Doctor and clinic entity pages with Physician and MedicalClinic schema, credentials and registration numbers
- Condition and treatment pages drafted by us, reviewed and signed by your doctor, dated and updated
- Google Business Profile, Practo and Justdial made identical, plus a review process your front desk can run
- Prompt map by area and procedure, tracked monthly with screenshots
A note on claims. We write within what you can substantiate and your compliance person approves. No outcome guarantees, no “painless”, no “best in Bangalore” unless a named source says so.
Questions, answered
Can we say we’re the best clinic in Bangalore?
Not as a claim of our own. Engines and regulators both discount it. A page that explains a procedure clearly, with a named doctor and real cost ranges, gets cited; a page that says “best” doesn’t.
Who writes the medical content?
We draft from your doctors’ input and the literature; your doctor reviews, edits and signs it. Their name, credentials and the review date go on the page. Nothing medical publishes without that.
Which schema matters for a clinic?
MedicalClinic (or Hospital) for the organisation with address and hours, Physician for each doctor with credentials, and MedicalWebPage with a reviewer and date on content pages — all generated from one source so they can’t disagree.
How long until a clinic shows up in AI answers?
Specific local prompts (“dentist near HSR Layout”) typically within 4–8 weeks once profiles are consistent and reviews are arriving; broad procedure prompts across Bangalore take 6–12 months.
