AI and local search
When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for “the best dental clinic in Jeddah”, the answer relies on available sources: reviews, directories, local articles and your site. That is why we track your mention rate in these answers and build the sources you lack.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a page per city?
Yes, if you actually serve it, with genuinely different content, not copies.
Can I buy Google reviews?
No. It violates Google policy and can get your profile removed. Ask real customers.
