For plastic and cosmetic surgery practices
Patients research a procedure for months. AI is in every one of those months.
They ask about the procedure, the risk, the cost and then the surgeon, in that order. Ciclo tells you whether your practice is named by the end of it, and what the answer was built from.
14 days free. Cancel before day 14 and you are not charged.
This is what the answer looks like.
Elective surgery has the longest research cycle of any local purchase. Almost all of it is question shaped, which is exactly what AI models are built to answer.
Best plastic surgeon for a rhinoplasty in Houston
- Vermilion Plastic Surgery
- Bayou City Aesthetic Surgery
- The Ashworth Clinic
- Missing from 5 of the 11 pages the answer was built from
- Board certification directory entry does not match your practice name
- No RealSelf presence, which the model cited in four separate answers
- No procedure pages covering recovery, risk and cost on your own site
An invented example, not a measured result. Your own answer is what the trial measures.
Monitor, find the gap, fix it, measure what changed.
Not a score. A loop that runs on a schedule, where each step feeds the next.
- 01
Monitor
We run the questions patients in your market actually type, against ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, on a schedule. Only being in the shortlist counts.
- 02
Find the gap
For every question: were you named, which surgeons were named instead, and which pages the model read. Procedure questions matter as much as surgeon questions.
- 03
Fix it
Each gap arrives as a work order: the certification record to correct, the platform to join, the procedure page you do not have yet.
- 04
Measure
We re-run the same questions weeks later, so you can see whether the shortlist changed.
Who gets recommended instead of you.
Visibility splits by procedure. A surgeon can be named constantly for breast work and never appear for facial procedures in the same city.
An invented example, not a measured result. The point is the shape: Ciclo reports the gap and then the reason for it, never a score on its own.
The sources behind the answer, and where you are missing.
An AI model recommending elective surgery reaches hard for credentials and outcomes it can point at, which is why board directories and aesthetics platforms dominate here.

Ciclo turns those gaps into work orders.
- Correct the board directory record so the practice name matches what patients search
- Build the aesthetics platform presence the model cited four times
- Publish procedure pages covering recovery, risk, candidacy and cost
- Pursue the city magazine feature your competitors appear in each year
- Complete the booking directory profile for each surgeon on staff
One procedure is a meaningful month.
A single elective procedure is commonly five figures, and the research cycle that produced it ran for months without you seeing any of it. Being absent from the shortlist during that period leaves no trace in your consultation numbers at all.
Ranking on Google is not the same as being recommended.
Ranking for "plastic surgeon Houston" does not decide the answer. The model spends most of the patient’s research cycle answering procedure questions, and the practices quoted in those explanations are the ones it names at the end.
- Board certification directories
- Aesthetics platforms
- Provider directories
- Top doctors features
- Booking directories
- Patient communities
- Practice websites
Ciclo maps that ecosystem for your trade and your metro, then tells you which part of it you are absent from.
What your buyers actually ask.
A query is one whole question, typed the way a patient types it over months of research. Not a keyword.

Common questions
How do I check whether ChatGPT recommends my practice?
Ask it your patients’ questions repeatedly, across sessions and models, and record which practices get named. A single answer is noise. Ciclo runs a fixed question list on a schedule and reports how often you are in the shortlist, split by procedure and area.
What about HIPAA and patient privacy?
Nothing we measure touches patient data. We read public pages and public model answers only.
Are there advertising rules we need to worry about?
Medical advertising rules vary by state and by board. Everything Ciclo drafts is reviewed and approved by your practice before it is submitted anywhere, and we are not your compliance counsel.
Can you guarantee I will show up in ChatGPT?
No, and nobody can. What is controllable is whether you appear, correctly and completely, on the sources the models cite for your questions.
You have seen the gap. Closing it is the work.
A teardown is one photograph. On a plan the same questions run on a schedule, every fix arrives already written, and each one is re-measured against the questions it was meant to move. That is the difference between knowing you are invisible and stopping being invisible.
