A real test. The business name is off.

This one is a physiotherapy clinic. The same check is for any service business.

Example report. Real test, business anonymised.

Clinic A: a private physiotherapy clinic in a UK city

Tested with Claude using live web search, location set to the city the clinic is in, 10 patient-style questions, single run. A business only counts if it was named in the answer text, not just found in the pages the assistant read.

  • Named in 1 of 10 answers, even though it has a strong Google rating.
  • Most-named competitors: two clinics were each named in 6 of 10, and two more in 5 of 10.
  • Found but not named: for one more question the assistant read the clinic website, then recommended other clinics.

Likely reasons I found

  1. The assistant only saw Clinic A as a sports injury clinic, so it skipped it for back, neck and post-surgery questions.
  2. Competitors had separate pages for each neighbourhood and each condition. The assistant cited those pages directly.
  3. Clinic A was missing from several of the directories the assistant read, such as healthcare listing and booking sites.

What I would fix first

Condition and area pages on the site, a fuller Google Business Profile with every service listed, and profiles on the two or three directories the assistant kept citing.

One run, one assistant, one day. AI answers change between runs and over time, so a snapshot is a picture, not a verdict.

What the work changes

Nobody can switch a recommendation on. These are the pages the test usually points to.

  • The Google Business Profile: services, area, and hours filled in.
  • A compliant way to ask happy customers for a review.
  • The directories the assistant actually cited.
  • A clear page for each service and each area.

More detail

Is this just SEO?

It overlaps. Assistants lean on reviews, listings, and directories, not only your website.

I work in a regulated field.

Nothing is published about you that you have not approved. That covers solicitors, clinics, accountants, and anyone else with rules on what they can say.

How long until something changes?

It varies. I re-test rather than promise a date.

What happens to my details?

I use them to write your report and reply. I do not sell them. The privacy notice has the rest.
