If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. 988 is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. A private practice is not a substitute for emergency care.

AI visibility for psychiatrists and medication management practices

AEOptim shows psychiatry practice owners what AI tools tell people who ask for a psychiatrist in your area, and helps you correct what they get wrong. We don't promise you more patients.

Someone near you asks: "Is there a psychiatrist near me taking new patients, and do they take my insurance?" ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI answers with a handful of prescribers and practices. Are you among them? Does it say you're out of network when you are, or repeat an address you left years ago?

Stage by stage

The questions patients ask before they call

Patients work through a few questions before they phone the office. The crisis question is answered first.

Crisis safety: the answer that comes before every other answer

"I am not safe right now. Who can help me tonight?"

This one is never treated as a lead. Every draft that touches self-harm is written to route the person immediately to 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, by call or text, or to 911 or the nearest emergency room, and to say plainly that a private practice is not emergency care. No scheduling request ever sits in front of a person in acute crisis. You check each draft before it goes up.

Is this actually that?

"I haven't slept properly in months and everything feels flat. Is this depression, and can medication help?"

The assistant explains the condition, then names practices whose pages it has read.

What a prescriber does

"What happens at a psychiatric evaluation, and what if the first medication doesn't fit?"

A practice that explains its evaluation and follow-ups in plain words gives the assistant something accurate to repeat.

Psychiatrist or therapist

"Do I need a psychiatrist or a therapist? My doctor mentioned medication."

The question that sends many people to the wrong office. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners prescribe; therapists don't.

Who can see me, and how soon

"Who near me is taking new patients, and do they take my insurance?"

This is the question that produces a short list of prescribers. Ranking on Google's first page doesn't carry over: the reply holds a few names, not ten links.

Evaluations, medication management, treatment-resistant care

Each kind of visit brings its own questions. Answer the ones for the care you offer.

Evaluations. The longer first appointment, where diagnosis happens. New patients research it hardest.

"What happens at a psychiatric evaluation?" · "How soon can a psychiatrist near me see a new patient?"

Medication management. Follow-ups where the same prescriber adjusts medication over time.

"How does medication management actually work?" · "How long do antidepressants take to work?"

Treatment-resistant care. For when standard medications haven't helped. People arrive with precise questions.

"What is treatment-resistant depression?" · "Is TMS available near me?"

The fact checklist

What AI needs to read before it names a psychiatry practice

What isn't published can't be repeated. Check your site, your Google Business Profile, Healthgrades and Psychology Today against this list. Every one should give the same facts.

  • Who you see, and for what. Adults only or which ages, and the conditions you actually evaluate and treat.
  • Your services. Evaluations, medication management, TMS if you offer it. Say whether you also do therapy, or refer it out.
  • Your prescribers. Name, MD, DO or PMHNP, board certification as you state it, and the states you're licensed in. Remove prescribers who have left the practice.
  • Insurance. In network by plan name, or out of network, said plainly. If you're out of network, your fees if you publish them, and how superbills work.
  • New patients. Taking them or not, roughly how long the wait is, whether you need a referral, and the scheduling request.
  • Telehealth. Which states, and which visits.
  • What you don't offer. Emergency care, patients under 18, therapy-only care, and your prescribing policy in your own words, if you publish one.
  • Crisis routing. The 988 notice on any page about distress, mood or self-harm.

Old listings are where most wrong answers start: a hospital address from years ago, a plan you stopped taking. Web Everything's Listings Cleanup corrects them to match your site.

Local by nature

Where your town changes the answer

  • Example: Leawood, KS
  • Example: Philadelphia, PA
  • Example: Tampa, FL
  • Your market

Assistants answer "psychiatrist near me" market by market. Telehealth stretches the map only to the state line, because prescribing follows licensure.

Say someone in Leawood asks for a psychiatrist who treats adult ADHD. Ask the same thing in Tampa and different names come back. No one controls which practices get named, and a vendor who says otherwise is guessing. We ask the questions your market's patients ask and show you each answer word for word.

Client vocabulary

Terms your patients use

Psychiatrist vs therapist
Medication or talk therapy. The comparison behind many wrong-fit calls.
Psychiatric nurse practitioner
The PMHNP, a prescriber who evaluates and manages medication.
Out-of-network
The arrangement behind many cost questions: what a visit costs when insurance won't pay.
Superbill
The itemized receipt a patient sends their insurer for out-of-network reimbursement.
Treatment-resistant depression
Depression that hasn't responded to standard medications, and the reason people ask about TMS.
988
The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, by call or text. Where every crisis question routes, ahead of everything else on this page.

The Answer Kit writes draft answers to these from what your pages already say.

What a clear site does

How your website helps AI help them

Clear facts on your site let an assistant do four things for a prospective patient.

  1. Find you,

    when the conditions you treat, your services and your town match the question.

  2. Repeat your facts correctly:

    out of network or in, superbills, telehealth states, whether you're taking new patients. AI tools repeat what they find. If your insurance list is out of date, that's what they repeat.

  3. Say whether you're a fit,

    including when you aren't: not their plan, no therapy, adults only. Your front desk skips that call.

  4. Help them schedule,

    with a link to your new-patient request. Your staff screens it and replies.

No AI tool verifies a patient's benefits today; it relays whatever your pages say.

If your pages don't say this yet, Web Everything builds websites for medical and mental-health practices. We don't place ad pixels on pages that collect patient information, and we sign a BAA whenever our work touches PHI.

In this field

The lines we don't cross, in this field

This is built to fit how psychiatry has to operate. The content is general, about conditions, approaches, and the practice, drafted by AI only from what your own pages say, and approved by you (or your clinician) before it's published. It is never built from patient stories, reviews, or testimonials, so it respects HIPAA and the advertising ethics your board and the profession expect. We never solicit or publish patient testimonials, full stop, and a review plan for your practice never asks patients for them. It does not promise a result, because no honest clinician or platform can. And because some of the people asking these questions are in real distress, every draft is written to route anyone in crisis to 988 and emergency services first, and to state plainly that a private practice is not a substitute for emergency care.

  • No marketing of controlled-substance prescribing. Nothing we draft offers or hints at prescriptions for stimulants, benzodiazepines or any other controlled medication, and nothing is written to draw people looking for one.
  • No outcome or volume promises. No promised response to a medication, and no promise of more patients.
  • Public sources only. AEOptim draws on your website, your public listings and what you tell it, and never connects to your EHR, the patient portal or patient files.
  • Nothing publishes without you. Nothing goes live under your name until you approve it.

You won't have to learn marketing, and nothing here asks you to bend a prescribing or board rule.

Questions

FAQ

Will my medical board be fine with this?

It's built to stay inside your medical board's advertising rules, and you approve every word. Rules vary by state, so check with your own compliance reviewer.

I don't want more patients. Why would I pay for this?

You may not need to. The free check shows what one engine says about you today. If it's wrong, the Search & Ask Workup ($450, one time) shows what five engines say and gives you a fix list in order. Nothing here requires a monthly plan.

Does AI name my practice when someone asks about a condition like depression or adult ADHD?

Only if your pages explain the conditions you evaluate and treat in a form AI can read. The Answer Kit drafts plain answers for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adult ADHD, OCD, and PTSD, from what your own pages say and approved by you, never built from patient stories. Nobody can promise it names you. This is general information, not medical advice, and no outcome is promised.

Will AI describe how my medication management works when a patient asks?

Only if your approach is explained on the open web in a form AI can read. When someone asks an AI engine what a psychiatric evaluation involves, how medication management works, or whether you offer options like TMS for treatment-resistant depression, it answers from what it finds published. The Answer Kit drafts those answers for your own site so AI has an accurate description of your care to repeat. This is general information, not medical advice, and no medication response or result is promised.

How does AEOptim handle patients who are in crisis?

Crisis routing is the first thing we build. Every draft that touches self-harm intent is written to route the person immediately to 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, by call or text, and to 911 or the nearest emergency room, and to state plainly that the practice is not a substitute for emergency care. Every mental-health Answer Kit carries the 988 line, and you check each draft before it goes up. AEOptim never places a scheduling request in front of someone in acute crisis. If you or someone you know is in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

Who do I talk to?
