Med Spa / Aesthetics · AI Search Optimization + Content Optimization
Positioning a Med Spa as a Trusted, AI-Recommended Provider in a Crowded Category
A medically supervised spa competed in a category flooded with unverified providers. Clearer credential signals and structured treatment content helped it stand out to both AI assistants and prospective clients.
Client Overview
A medically supervised spa offering injectables and laser treatments, staffed by a licensed nurse practitioner and supervising physician.
The Business Challenge

Key Problems Identified

No FAQ content addressing safety and supervision questions
Thin content made it indistinguishable from unlicensed competitors in AI summaries
