MedicalUrology
Many urology visits start with a question the patient hasn't said out loud to anyone. Up three times a night, a PSA number from the last physical, a couple deciding on a vasectomy: they ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity first, and the answer comes back with a few practice names in it. AEOptim shows a urology practice whether its name is one of them, and what to fix if it isn't.
The Free AI Check asks one question a patient would ask, in your city, and shows you the answer as it came back. About two minutes. No card, and nobody calls you.
The patient's questions
He has not told his wife. He has told a chat window.
Urology treats what people find hardest to bring up. A chat window can't raise an eyebrow, so the first honest conversation often happens there, and it ends with names.
Pick a topic.
Example: a man in his late 50s
"I'm up three or four times a night. Is this just age, or my prostate?"
The AI explains an enlarged prostate and the options, from medication to UroLift to TURP.
Example: a man in his 60s
"My PSA came back high and my doctor said to see a urologist. How worried should I be?"
It explains what a PSA number does and doesn't mean, in words borrowed from whichever practice explained it.
Example: a couple in their 30s
"How much does a vasectomy cost, does insurance cover it, and how bad is recovery?"
Practices that publish straight answers on cost and recovery are the ones carried into the reply.
Example: a patient just home from the ER
"The ER said I have a stone. Do I need a urologist, or will it pass?"
It explains when a stone may pass and when a procedure comes in. Then the patient asks who can see them.
Example: a man in his 60s
"Is ED treatable at my age, and who do I even talk to about it?"
The most private topic in the specialty. The AI covers causes and options, then the question left is who.
Example: a woman in her 50s
"I leak when I laugh. Who treats this, and can it be fixed?"
Women bring bladder problems to urology too, often after years of not mentioning it.
Names reveal label: "Then come the names" / slot label: "Is yours one of them?"
These are example questions from our urology research. Answers vary by AI tool and by county. We never script an answer.
Check your own site
Your website and listings are the AI's only source on your practice. Urology runs on referrals from primary care and the ER, and many patients now come on their own, so the list below serves both. Anything left off, it has to guess.
Five answers, in the order patients reach for them. The Answer Kit is organized around the same five.
"What is a UroLift, is it surgery, and will there be a catheter?"
"Is an enlarged prostate dangerous, or just something I live with?"
"Does Medicare cover this, and do I need a referral first?"
"What are the chances of leaks or ED after prostate surgery?"
"Who near me treats this, takes my insurance, and can see me soon?"
Near me
"Urologist near me for an enlarged prostate."
Nearly every urology question ends in near me, said or not, so the same question in East Tennessee, the Chicago suburbs and Northwest Arkansas can come back with three different sets of names. We won't promise that any engine names you. We measure what it says where you practice and give you a fix list in order. For "near me" searches for doctors, Google still shows the map and local listings, so your Business Profile carries a lot of weight (BrightEdge healthcare data).
Patient vocabulary
Said to a chat window, not out loud.
What a clear site does
Plain facts on your site let an AI assistant do four things for a patient who'd rather not ask out loud.
It matches your practice to the question, whether that's a stone, a PSA or a vasectomy. Google has said its AI features need no special files or code. What they need is plain pages and listings that agree.
Tell an engine the wrong Medicare plans and it will tell patients the same. In rater8's 2026 survey, 66% of patients who had used AI to research providers had seen wrong details, including insurance. No AI tool looks up what a patient's plan covers, so the Medicare line on your site matters.
Do they take my Medicare plan? Do they do vasectomies in the office? Do they treat women? Your site has to say yes first.
In August 2026 Gemini began letting users make appointments with doctors listed on Zocdoc without leaving the app. Practices on Zocdoc should ask Zocdoc whether their listing appears. Everywhere else, the patient still ends up at your phone or your website, where a scheduling request form catches the man who finally decided at midnight. Referring offices and ERs still send by fax, portal or referral line, so list those on the site as well.

The path, with prices
AEOptim shows you what AI says about you. Web Everything does the work to change it. Each step stands alone.
$0
One live AI engine (Perplexity), one patient question, in your city, and the answer as it came back. About two minutes, no card. No login, nothing to interpret.
$450, one time
Your patients' questions asked on Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, plus live Google search data: what people search, where you rank, who's ahead. A fix list in order. The report is yours to hand to anyone.
$350, one time
Your homepage plus up to six service pages. Answers drafted using only what your pages already say. You approve every answer.
from $350 a month
Your questions re-asked every month on all five engines, several runs each, with a plain verdict on whether a change is real. Change or stop any month.
If your site, Google Business Profile and directories disagree on your hours, address or plans, fix that first: Listings Cleanup puts one accurate record on your site, then corrects every directory that matters to match.
If you'd rather have it done for you: Web Everything.
Owner questions
Many do. In West Health-Gallup's study of 5,660 U.S. adults (Gallup Panel, October to December 2025), one in four had used an AI tool for health information or advice in the previous 30 days. In urology, a chat window often feels safer than saying it out loud. The free check shows the answer one of them would get where you practice.
Referred patients check the name they were given, and some skip the referral when their plan allows it. A clear referral page also helps the offices and ERs that send you patients.
Only if your site says so plainly, and says which Medicare Advantage plans you're in. AI tools repeat what they find, so an old list gets repeated too. Will the content be tasteful? These are sensitive topics. Yes, and you read every word before it's published. It's written the way you'd explain it in the exam room, and nothing goes live under your name until you approve it.
It's built to stay inside your state medical board's rules, and you approve every word. Rules vary by state, so check with your own compliance reviewer. AEOptim has no access to patient records, and we sign a BAA whenever our work touches PHI.
Not much. The free check takes your field, specialty, practice name, city and email. After that, someone reads and approves the Answer Kit's answers, and Web Everything (price on inquiry) or your current web company installs them.
Nobody can promise a date, and a vendor who does is guessing. Engines vary from run to run, so the monthly measure asks every question several times and calls a change real only when it repeats.
