For Plastic Surgery & Cosmetic Dermatology

By the time they consult,
their expectations
are already set.

Patients research a procedure for months — recovery, risk, candidacy, cost — long before they book. Whatever they read frames the entire consultation. ScoutRival measures what that source is, and lets you become it.

01The problem

You have forty procedure pages and the engines read none of them.

The content exists. The structure does not — and meanwhile a national directory is setting your patients’ expectations on recovery, risk and price.

Illustrative scenario

A Wednesday at Westside Plastic Surgery.

The three months before the consultation — and who shaped them.

1
Wednesday · Maya, practice manager

A consultation arrives expecting a two-week recovery and quoting a price 30% below the practice’s. She read it on a national directory. Dr. Alvarez spends the first fifteen minutes resetting expectations.

15 min per consultTrust reset from minute one
2
The gap

Maya asks ChatGPT about recovery for the practice’s top procedure. It cites a directory and a competitor. The practice has a detailed page on exactly that — and the engines are not reading it.

40 pages, 0 citedCompetitor cited instead

Friday · ScoutRival, day one

The scan scores the practice 32/100 and explains why: procedure pages with no answer-first structure, no schema and duplicated intros. Maya sends the two-page report to Dr. Alvarez, who reads it between cases.

One quarter later

Fourteen procedure guides restructured and published as drafts the surgeon approved. Consultations now arrive with the practice’s own recovery timeline in hand — and Maya has a number to bring to the marketing review.

Pick the pain. See exactly what the product does about it.

Site AI audit + BlogCraft

A 31-point audit shows exactly why forty existing pages are invisible — missing answer blocks, no schema, duplicated intros. Then BlogCraft restructures and writes the procedure content in the practice’s voice, published to WordPress as a draft for physician review.

Three ways to solve this. One fits a practice.

A medical-marketing agency, a stack of tools, or one seat. The honest comparison — including the two things we don’t do.

Option A

Marketing agency

$3,000–10,000 / month
  • Rarely measures AI visibility
  • Competitor watch not in scope
  • Direction on a monthly call
  • Writes content — in 2–4 weeks
  • Manages reviews and posting
  • You own the content — check the contract
Real expertise, real cost. You wait on someone else’s calendar, and the knowledge leaves when they do.
Option B

Four separate tools

~$180–290 / month
  • Tracks AI visibility
  • Listening is enterprise-priced
  • You interpret all of the data
  • Generic content unless you prompt well
  • Four logins, none share context
  • You own everything you make
Cheaper than an agency — but you become the integration layer, and that’s the job you didn’t want.
Built for a business like yours Option C

ScoutRival

One seat · see pricing →
  • Two engines, labelled — re-check any day
  • Nine channels + founder-level tracking
  • A daily brief with one clear action
  • Content in your voice, drafted in ~90 seconds
  • Branded graphics + one-click WordPress
  • Yours forever — export anytime
  • Doesn’t manage reviews — keep your reputation platform
  • Doesn’t generate before-and-after or patient imagery
The last two are deliberate. We’d rather you knew now than found out in month two — everything else is in one seat.
Run my free scan

Photographic outcome content is where the real compliance risk in this vertical lives — patient identifiability and outcome implication. We deliberately do not generate it, and saying so is what makes a liability-conscious practice comfortable with the rest.

09FAQ

Everything owners ask before they start.

What exactly do I get on day one?
A measured AI-visibility score across ChatGPT and Gemini for the recovery, risk and cost questions patients research, plus a 31-point audit that usually explains why existing procedure pages are not being parsed. Everything comes as a two-page report the practice manager can forward to the surgeon. About five minutes to set up.
Can we publish AI-assisted content in a surgical practice?
It is built for exactly this. Everything arrives as a draft a physician approves — nothing publishes live, and no patient imagery is generated at all. Content answers questions rather than promising outcomes, which is the safer shape regardless of who writes it.
Which AI engines do you check, and how?
Two, and we label which is which. ChatGPT runs web-grounded, so it cites live sources and we show you those citations. Gemini runs as a memory probe — what the model already believes about your market, without citations. They’re deliberately different signals, and reading them together tells you more than a single number would.
Is the score something I can trust and act on?
Yes — because we show you the working. You get a weighted 0–100 score with a confidence band, share of voice against the competitors you actually have, and the receipts behind every answer. AI answers shift between runs, so we show the band rather than a false-precision ranking — and you can re-check any day to watch it move.
I already pay an agency. Does this replace them?
It can, and plenty of owners use it that way. But the sharper move is to ask your agency what your AI-visibility score is. If they have an answer, keep them — you have a good agency. If they don’t, you’ve found the gap, and one seat gives you an independent instrument to measure their work every month for a fraction of the retainer.
What does one seat actually include?
AI-visibility tracking across both engines, nine-channel competitor monitoring with founder-level LinkedIn, the daily brief, content generation in your voice, branded graphics from a 330-design library, long-form articles with one-click WordPress publishing, a 31-point site audit, and Google Search Console plus Bing traffic. On Pro and Agency you can connect your own AI key and generate at zero credit cost. [See the full comparison →](/pricing)
How soon will I show up in AI?
Honestly: it compounds, and nobody can promise a date. Publishing the content that answers your buyers’ questions is what earns citations over the following weeks. What you get on day one is the measurement — exactly which prompts you’re missing and the actions most likely to change it. Anyone promising an overnight “#1 in ChatGPT” is guessing.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Start free — no card, and the scan costs nothing. Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee, you can cancel anytime with no lock-in, and everything you generate exports as HTML, Markdown, PDF or plain text. What you create is yours whether you stay or not. Two things we deliberately don’t do: manage reviews, and generate patient imagery. If either is your only gap, we’ll tell you a different tool is the better spend.
