What if I don't have a Google Business Profile?

That's actually the most important finding we can give you. We'll flag GBP setup as priority #1 and walk you through getting it created and optimized from scratch.

How fast will I see results?

Category and attribute fixes can move rankings within days. The full system — with consistent posting, photos, and review velocity — typically shows significant movement in 60-90 days.

What types of businesses is this for?

Any local service business that depends on Google for leads — plumbers, HVAC, electricians, roofers, lawyers, dentists, cleaning companies, landscapers. If your customers search '[service] near me,' this is for you.

What makes this different from other SEO audits?

Two things. First, we don't just audit Google — we check your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Nobody else is doing that for local businesses yet. Second, this is built on 14 years of local SEO execution.

Why does AI search matter for my local business?

More and more people are asking AI assistants 'who's the best plumber near me' instead of Googling it. Those AI answers pull from your reviews, your website structure, your citations, and your web presence. If your digital footprint doesn't feed those models, you're invisible to a growing segment of customers.

Do I need to give you access to my Google account?

For the diagnostic, no. We work from publicly visible data. For the Sprint, we'll need contributor access to your GBP to post and optimize on your behalf.

West Palm Beach, FL · Eye Care

A West Palm Beach patient just asked AI for an eye doctor. Is your practice in the answer?

We tested AI tools for eye care queries in West Palm Beach. 65% of the time, they named a specific practice. If yours isn't showing up, patients are going to whoever AI picks.

65%

of AI queries for eye care in West Palm Beach returned a named practice

Eye care has an AI visibility problem no one is talking about.

We tested 627 AI queries for eye care services across Florida. In 30% of those searches, AI tools returned no recommendation at all. Not a competitor. No one. And when AI does recommend a practice, it almost never comes from a Google search — it comes from two directories. If your practice isn't on Healthgrades and Zocdoc, you're invisible to most AI tools that handle eye care queries.

6 in 10

Google searches now show an AI answer before traditional results. If your practice in West Palm Beach isn't in that answer, you're invisible to the majority of searches.

What we found in West Palm Beach

AI skips eye care more than any other industry

In our Florida study, only 69.7% of AI queries for eye care services returned a named practice. That means nearly 1 in 3 patients who asks AI for an eye doctor gets nothing. No recommendation, no direction, no name. They're left to search on their own — and whoever they find next wins.

Two directories are controlling who AI recommends

Healthgrades and Zocdoc together drove 59% of AI citations for eye care practices in our study. That's not a diverse presence across the web — that's two gatekeepers. If your practice profile on either is incomplete, outdated, or missing, AI tools treat you as if you don't exist.

Google almost never triggers an AI Overview for eye care searches

Google's AI Overview appeared in only 4% of eye care queries — the lowest rate of any industry we tested. That means the usual playbook of optimizing your Google Business Profile gets you far less lift here. Patients who find you through AI are coming from other sources entirely.

Being on one AI platform means nothing for the others

98% of eye care practices in our study appeared on only one AI platform. ChatGPT and Gemini had zero overlap — not a single practice appeared in both. Visibility on one tool doesn't carry over. Each platform has its own idea of who to recommend, and most practices haven't figured out how to show up on any of them consistently.

Questions

Yes. We tested AI queries specifically for eye care services in West Palm Beach and found that 65% of queries returned a named practice. This is real data from our Florida Eye Care AI Visibility Study.

Yes — and eye care has a bigger gap than most. We tested 627 AI queries for eye care services and found a 69.7% AI response rate, the lowest of any industry in our study. Nearly 1 in 3 patients who asks AI for an eye doctor gets no answer at all. That's not a future problem. It's happening now.

A few factors: eye care searches are more fragmented across specialties (optometrist vs. ophthalmologist vs. vision therapy), Google's AI Overview almost never triggers for these queries, and the industry has high directory dependency with low directory completion rates. Most practices haven't optimized for the sources AI actually pulls from.

Healthgrades and Zocdoc together drove 59% of AI citations in our Florida study. Your profiles on both need to be complete, accurate, and current. An incomplete Healthgrades listing is one of the most common reasons an eye care practice gets skipped by AI tools entirely.
