Will AI really recommend a specific clinic or consultant?

Yes. Ask an AI "which private clinic should I trust?" and it increasingly answers with named providers and a source, not generic advice. The only question is whether yours is one of those names. The Recommendation Index measures it across seven engines.

Health advertising is heavily regulated — how do you stay inside ASA/CAP, MHRA and CQC rules?

That's the point. Everything we publish is written to the ASA/CAP code, MHRA rules and your GMC and CQC obligations, checked by a person and signed off by you. We make no cure, outcome or efficacy claim, we don't imply results or run before/after comparisons, and nothing ships that isn't substantiated and something you could defend to your regulator.

We handle patient information — is this compliant?

Yes. We never touch patient-identifying or clinical-record material, and personal data is stripped before anything is drafted. We work only with the public, non-clinical picture of your practice — the information an engine reads when someone asks who to trust.

No, though good SEO helps. Search ranks pages; AI names providers and cites sources. We work the signals an engine uses to decide who to recommend — entity clarity, retrievable content, third-party citations — most of which a normal SEO programme never touches.

Practices can't see where they stand

Patients ask an AI which clinic to trust before they call anyone. If your name isn't in the answer, you never knew.

1 in 7UK adults have used an AI chatbot for health advice instead of the NHS

Research from King's College London's Policy Institute, 2026. Patients increasingly turn to AI to understand their health before they seek care — and form a view on who to trust.

//.built_for_a_regulated_practice

You answer to the GMC, CQC and the ASA/CAP code on every public claim. So does how we work — every word is checked by a person and signed off by you, we make no cure, outcome or efficacy claim, and nothing that isn't substantiated and compliant ever ships.

The shift is already in the numbers

953,000

UK private hospital admissions in 2025 — a fourth consecutive record year (PHIN, 2026). Demand for private care keeps climbing, and more of it starts online.

1 in 4

UK patients now use AI or social media to understand their health, and 30% would consult AI rather than wait to see a clinician (Semble survey, 2025 — vendor-commissioned). The research habit is already there.

By firm type

Private clinic / consultant practice

Trusted by patients and referrers, thin in the sources an engine reads when someone asks who to trust — quickest to move once the work starts.

Specialist treatment centre

A real focus the engines should name you for — if the proof is where they look, and every claim about care stays inside the advertising rules.

Dental & aesthetic practice

The strictest advertising rules of all: the engines must describe you accurately, with no outcome or before/after implication, or not at all.
