We put the questions a Dublin patient actually asks to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and recorded which of 153 clinics each engine names. Only 16 consistently appear - the rest are invisible in the channel patients increasingly start with.
When a Dublin patient asks AI for an aesthetic clinic, the same handful of names come back - Amara Clinic, Sisu Clinic, Eden Medical Clinic, Ailesbury Clinic, Facial Rejuve Aesthetic Clinic. The other 137 clinics, including most with strong reputations and busy practices, rarely surface at all. 59% of the cohort is effectively invisible in AI search.
Real, unedited answers from the study - the same handful of names recur, question after question.
Visibility = share of AI answers naming the clinic. The full ranking of all 153 clinics, with each one's band, is available on request.
