Start here — this week
Complete your profiles on Zocdoc, Yelp
Why it matters: These are the sites the AI tools were actually reading when they answered; your own website came up zero times. Whatever those profiles say about you is what patients hear.
What to do: Open each one (Zocdoc — zocdoc.com; Yelp — yelp.com), claim the profile if you haven't, and make sure the name, address, phone, hours and services match your website exactly. Add photos where you can.
Then, one at a time
Put your address and phone at the bottom of every page
Why it matters: AI tools double-check your website against your Google listing. If the address or phone is only in an image or missing, they can't confirm it's you.
What to do: Add the full address and phone number as normal text in the footer of the website so it shows on every page.
Add a one-page summary file for AI tools
Why it matters: Some AI tools read a plain-text summary file on a website. Low effort, but honestly uncertain payoff — do it last.
What to do: Ask your website person to publish a plain-text file at yoursite.com/llms.txt with the practice name, services, address, phone and hours.
