Most patients research online before contacting a doctor. Increasingly, they use ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. If you don't appear there, you lose patients to practices that have structured their data for AI systems.
GDPR-compliant · German servers · From €59/month · No patient data
Whether family practice, dentist, medical center or specialist clinic: AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity are becoming the new search engine for patients. Instead of Google result lists, patients receive direct recommendations — with practice name, specialty, rating and booking link. Luminara AI brings your practice into these AI answers. With the GEO Audit, we check 30+ factors, structure your data as Schema.org MedicalBusiness and continuously monitor your AI visibility.
Patient search has fundamentally changed. Instead of scrolling through Google lists, patients ask AI assistants specific questions. The AI responds with a concrete recommendation — not ten blue links.
More and more young patients use AI assistants for health questions — the trend is growing rapidly
Trust in AI recommendations for choosing a doctor is steadily increasing
Medical practices have rarely structured their data for AI systems so far
Imagine: A patient in Munich types into ChatGPT at 10 PM: 'Orthopedist near me with sports medicine and short-term appointments'. The AI doesn't search the phone book — it searches indexed websites with structured data. Practices without Schema.org markup don't appear in this answer. This applies equally to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Z.AI, and Kimi.
The difference from classic Google search: On Google, patients see a list of 10 results and click through them. With AI assistants, there's exactly one recommendation — or at most three. If you're not included, you don't exist for that patient. There's no page-2 effect, no scrolling option. The AI decides, and structured data is the decisive factor.
Particularly affected are practices that treat their website like a PDF brochure: office hours as image files, service spectrum as flowing text, contact details hidden in the footer. For human visitors, this may suffice — for GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot, this information is invisible.
This means: When a patient asks ChatGPT about a dermatologist in your city, the AI recommends a practice with structured data — and that's currently probably not yours.
Without Schema.org MedicalBusiness markup, your practice simply doesn't exist for ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. These systems don't read PDFs, image files or unstructured text.
You offer sports medicine, acupuncture and preventive care — but AI systems can't extract that from your flowing text. Structured data solves this problem.
Your 4.8-star rating on Google doesn't flow into AI recommendations because the connection between review platforms and your practice website is missing.
Patients ask the AI for a doctor with available appointments. Without structured booking links, the AI can't display a booking link — the patient chooses another practice.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) systematically brings your practice into AI answers
Our audit checks 30+ factors that determine whether AI assistants recommend your practice. From Schema.org markup to crawlability to structured service data.
The GEO Audit analyzes your entire online presence: website structure, robots.txt configuration, existing Schema.org markup, NAP consistency across all directories (Google Business, Jameda, Doctolib, Yellow Pages), review profiles and appointment booking systems. Each of the 30+ factors is individually evaluated with specific action recommendations.
Based on the audit, we structure your practice data for AI systems. Schema.org MedicalBusiness, local search optimization and machine-readable service catalogs.
Optimization includes implementing Schema.org MedicalBusiness markup with all relevant subtypes: MedicalSpecialty for your specialties, MedicalProcedure for treatments, OpeningHoursSpecification for office hours and AggregateRating for reviews. Additionally, your practice data is optimized for all common AI crawlers: GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Anthropic Claude), PerplexityBot, ZhipuBot (Z.AI), and KimiBot (Kimi).
The dashboard shows which AI systems read your practice data, how often you're recommended, and where optimization potential remains.
The monitoring dashboard shows which AI crawlers are reading your practice data. You can see whether GPTBot visited your site this week, how often ClaudeBot read your service data, and whether PerplexityBot indexed your reviews. The Quality Score updates automatically and shows where optimization potential remains.
Why structured data is essential for medical practices
Schema.org MedicalBusiness is the standardized format AI assistants use to understand medical facilities. Without this markup, your practice is an unstructured text block for GPTBot and ClaudeBot.

The bot has to guess whether 'Dr. Smith' is a doctor, a patient or a street name. With MedicalBusiness markup, the assignment is unambiguous: 'Dr. Smith' is a Physician with the Specialty Orthopedics, at address Example Street 1, Munich, with office hours Mon-Fri 8-18 and a rating of 4.7 stars from 238 Google reviews.
Schema.org MedicalBusiness also supports specific medical properties: acceptedPaymentMethod for insurance types (statutory, private, self-pay), medicalSpecialty for up to 15 specialties simultaneously, availableService for your complete service catalog with optional price ranges, and potentialAction for direct appointment booking from AI answers.
Hypothetical before/after result for illustration purposes
Possible result: After optimization, the practice can be recommended by ChatGPT for local search queries. Online appointment requests can increase significantly.
This example scenario illustrates a typical starting situation and the optimization potential for orthopedic practices. It is a hypothetical example to demonstrate the GEO audit methodology — not a documented case study. Typical starting problems include: well-designed websites without structured data, robots.txt blocking AI bots, office hours as PNG graphics. After optimization, services are structured as MedicalProcedure, robots.txt is opened for AI crawlers and booking links are integrated.
Where does your practice stand?
Based on industry analysis, the typical GEO Score for medical practices is very low. Practices with structured data and monitoring can achieve significantly higher scores. Those who optimize now have a significant advantage.
These assessments are based on general industry analyses and experience with typical medical practice websites. Most practices rely on classic web presences without structured data. Even large medical centers with professional websites often achieve low scores because Schema.org MedicalBusiness and AI crawler permissions are missing. The market is virtually unoccupied — those who act now face almost no competition in AI recommendations.
From the family practice to the specialist clinic
Each specialty automatically receives the appropriate Schema.org type: Physician for doctors, Dentist for dentists, VeterinaryCare for veterinarians, PhysicalTherapy for physiotherapists. Additionally, specialty-specific MedicalSpecialty tags are set that AI assistants use for specialized search queries.
Family doctors, internists, preventive care
Dentists, orthodontics, implantology
Sports medicine, spine, joints
Skin cancer screening, allergology
Behavioral therapy, psychiatry
Physical therapy, rehabilitation
Lasik, glaucoma, preventive care
Veterinarians, animal clinics
