Future-proof your online presence with AI-ready content, structure and strategy
Search is changing rapidly. Tools like Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), ChatGPT, and Bing Copilot are transforming how patients and referring doctors find healthcare providers online. If your website is not optimised for AI-powered search, it may be missed entirely, even if it ranks well in traditional search.
At Total Medical Design, we help medical clinics, specialists and allied health professionals adapt to this shift. Our AI Search Visibility service ensures your site is not just built for Google but also for the large language models (LLMs) behind the next generation of search tools.

If you are relying on patients or referrers to find you online, AI search visibility is now essential.
An ENT specialist in Sydney engaged us to improve their AI visibility. After restructuring their content and adding author schema, their site began to appear in early test results of SGE and was cited in ChatGPT search plugins. Enquiries linked to AI-based tools increased by 34% over the past three months.

Traditional SEO helps you rank in standard Google listings. AI search visibility focuses on whether your content appears in AI-generated results, such as summaries created by Google SGE or answers provided by tools like ChatGPT. Both are important, and we integrate them into one approach.
