The full diagnostic, in two halves. How AI answers about you, and the demand around you.

The Search and Ask Workup is where a practice starts. The Ask reads how the AI engines answer about you, question by question, and whether they get the facts right. The Search reads the demand in your metro and whether you show up for it. One report, both worlds, every number scoped to the market each office actually competes in.

What the Workup is

Two halves, because your clients live in two worlds now.

Some of your patients still type a question into a search box. More of them, every month, ask an AI engine instead and act on whatever it says. The Workup measures both, on the same practice, so you can see where the demand is and how the machines are answering it.

Part one
The Ask

How the AI engines answer about you. Not a single score, but the whole behavior: how often they name you, on which questions, who they name instead, and whether what they say is even true.

  • Named-in rate as a band, per engine, never blended
  • The journey question ledger, in the order a client travels
  • Who is named instead of you, on every near-me ask
  • The because-clause: why the engine picks who it picks
  • Accuracy against the public registry for your field
  • The handoff check and a verbatim booking simulation
  • Coverage and cost visibility when patients ask what you take
Part two
The Search

The demand around you, measured honestly. What people search for in your metro, what you rank for, the demand you are absent from, and whether your site and your people are even findable.

  • Top branded and non-branded keywords, rank and volume
  • The demand you are completely absent from
  • The journey ladder: question-share against your own content
  • Trust and schema audit: structured data, NAP, credentials
  • Provider findability, each practitioner checked
  • Competitors and the keywords they target, as an add-on

All data DMA-scoped. Carries up to 5 locations, each reported on its own, because a near-me answer changes from one metro to the next.

How the report holds together

The ends of the report are built from the middle.

Every section earns its place by feeding the bookends. The opening Insights and the closing To-dos are not fixed copy. They recompose from exactly the sections you include, so nothing in the report is an appendix.

Opens with
Insights

The handful of things that matter most, pulled up from the sections below. Add the Competitors section and its findings appear here automatically. Leave it out and the Insights recompose without it.

The body
The sections you chose

The defaults across both halves, plus your add-ons. Each one declares what it feeds: an Insight, a To-do, a step in the execution plan, or more than one. A section that feeds nothing would be an appendix, so there are none.

Closes with
To-dos and Execution

A prioritized to-do list and a 30, 60, and 90 day plan, assembled from the same sections. The work is sequenced, not just listed, so you know what to do first and what can wait.

One engine, tuned per field

The method holds. The grammar of trust changes.

The Workup is a single diagnostic engine, tuned per vertical. What stays constant is the discipline: the bands, the ledger, the accuracy checks, the honest measurement. What changes is everything that makes the answers real for your field. Here is what moves.

What changes Medical Legal Wealth Mental & behavioral health
Journey shape Symptom → condition → procedure → provider → book Problem → rights → process → firm → retain Life-event → options → strategy → advisor → engage Feeling → naming it → getting help, with a crisis-safety slot ahead of the ladder
Trust signals checked Board certification, hospital affiliation, years, insurance accepted Bar admission, years, reported cases, peer rating Fiduciary status, CFP or CFA, AUM, fee model License type (LCSW, LMFT, PhD, MD), modality, sliding scale, telehealth states
Compliance frame HIPAA-safe, no outcome claims, board advertising rules No attorney-client relationship, bar advertising rules, no result guarantees FINRA and SEC advertising, no performance promises, fiduciary disclosure Crisis-safety disclaimer and 988 handoff, no diagnosis, stigma-aware framing
Registry verified against NPI State bar number FINRA CRD and SEC IAPD NPI, plus state license

The mental and behavioral health frame carries the extra weight: a crisis-aware slot that sits ahead of the booking journey, so the simulation never mishandles a query that needs a hotline instead of an appointment. This is the depth the per-vertical research is for.

What we offer that others don't

The differences are the parts that keep the report honest.

Variance-honest

We band the number and say which movement is real and which is noise. A single naked score, the industry standard, hides how much an AI answer swings from one run to the next.

Geo-varied, DMA-scoped

Every figure reflects the metro each office competes in, up to five locations. We never print a national visibility number for a local practice, because it describes nothing.

YMYL-vertical tuned

Built for fields where the facts have to be right: medicine, law, wealth, mental health. The trust signals, the compliance frame, and the registry all change with the field.

Entity-first, registry-checked

We anchor you to the public record, your NPI, bar number, or CRD, and check what the engines say against it. The named practitioner, verified, not a brand-scale guess.

Published methodology

The full method, run counts and all, is a free public Standard anyone can read and hold us to. Nothing about how the number is made is hidden.

Fixed public pricing

How it compares

Where the categories stop, and where the Workup keeps going.

The market splits into a few camps. Enterprise dashboards built for national brands. Local rank trackers. Sellers of one-time link and audit reports. Each does its own thing well. None of them does what a high-trust local practice actually needs, all in one deliverable.

Why the answers are real

This is our doctor. This is our patient.

A generic tool asks generic questions and gets generic answers. The Workup asks the questions your actual clients ask, in the words they actually use, because behind every vertical is a research bible we wrote first.

The provider
We know your field before we measure it

Thirty-two specialty research bibles, one per field we serve, each with the provider persona: the credentials that matter, the procedures and services, the trust signals a client weighs, and the registry that governs the field. That is why the accuracy ledger checks the right facts and the trust audit looks for the right things.

The patient
We know how your clients actually search

Each bible also carries the client persona: the vague first question, the real fear underneath it, the exact path from symptom or problem to booking. That is the journey the ledger follows and the conversation the booking simulation runs. The questions are real because the research is real.

Per-vertical research depth is what separates a real diagnostic from a form letter with your name pasted in.

Questions

Asked before, answered plainly.

What is the Search and Ask Workup?
It is our foundation diagnostic, the full read of where you stand, in two halves. The Ask is how AI engines answer about you: how often they name you, per engine, on the exact questions your clients travel through, who they name instead, and whether what they say is true. The Search is the demand around you: the keywords you rank for, the demand you are absent from, and whether your site and your people are findable. Base price $449, up to five locations, all data scoped to your metro.
What is the difference between The Ask and The Search?
The Search is the old world, measured honestly: what people type into a search box and whether you show up. The Ask is the new world: what people ask an AI engine and whether it names you, quotes you correctly, and hands the patient off to a phone number that actually works. Most vendors sell one or the other. The Workup runs both against the same practice so you see where the demand is and how the engines are answering it, side by side.
What does modular mean here, and what does the base include?
The base $449 Workup includes every default section across both halves: the named-in rate and per-engine bands, the journey-ordered question ledger, who is named instead of you, the because-clause, the accuracy ledger against the public registry, the handoff check, the booking simulation, coverage and cost visibility, your branded and non-branded keywords, the demand you are absent from, the journey ladder, the trust and schema audit, and provider findability. On top of that you pick add-ons at $29 each, or the Competitors section at $99. You only pay for the sections you want.
What is the booking simulation?
We run a real multi-turn conversation with the AI engines, the way a patient or client actually would, from the first vague question to asking it to book. We capture it verbatim: what it recommended, whether it named you, whether the phone number and the booking path it handed over actually work. Almost nobody ships this at this price, and it is where the abstract score becomes a concrete lost appointment you can see.
How is the named-in rate reported?
As a band with a floor, never a single naked number, and never blended across engines. AI answers change run to run, so a lone figure lies. We repeat the runs and report the range your visibility actually lives in, then show each engine on its own line, because ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude read different sources and answer differently. A blended score would hide the one engine worth acting on.
Do you check whether AI gets my facts right?
Yes, and it is a section most of the field does not run. The accuracy ledger takes what the engines say about you and checks it against the public record: your identity in the registry that governs your field, your address, your phone, the plans you accept. When an engine states a wrong fact, a moved office or a stale phone number, that is a patient sent to the wrong door, and we show you exactly where it happens.
How does the per-industry tuning work?
The Workup is one engine tuned per vertical. What stays constant is the method: the bands, the ledger, the accuracy checks, the honest measurement. What changes is the grammar of trust for your field. The journey questions run symptom to procedure for medicine, problem to rights to process for law, life-event to options to strategy for wealth, with a crisis-aware frame for mental and behavioral health. The trust signals, the compliance frame, and the registry we verify against all change with the field. That per-vertical depth is the point.
How many locations does it cover, and is the data local?
Up to five locations, and every number is DMA-scoped, meaning it reflects the metro each office actually competes in, not a national average. A near-me question in one city has a different answer than the same question two metros over, and the Workup reports each location on its own. National visibility numbers are meaningless for a local practice, so we do not print them.
How is this different from the dashboards and the cheap audits?
The enterprise dashboards give you a login and a share-of-voice score built for national brands. The cheap audits give you a one-time pass or fail. Neither shows you the actual questions asked, the answers verbatim, the band that separates real movement from noise, the named practitioner checked against the registry, or a plan tuned to the advertising rules of your field. The Workup is a deliverable, not a dashboard, and it is built for high-trust practices where the facts have to be right.
Can you guarantee AI will name my practice?
No, and nobody honest can. The engines choose their own sources. What the Workup guarantees is an honest, DMA-scoped read of how they answer about you today, what they get wrong, and where the demand is going unmet, with a prioritized plan to close the gaps. The visibility is the claim we can make. A ranking is never ours to sell.
What do the Insights and To-dos at the ends of the report do?
They are not fixed copy. The opening Insights and the closing To-dos with a 30, 60, and 90 day execution plan are assembled from whichever sections are in your build. Add the Competitors section and its findings flow into Insights, its actions into the To-dos, its work into the execution plan. Every section earns its place by feeding those bookends, so nothing in the report is an appendix.
