What ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews currently answer
This procurement-stage prompt returns a mix of generalist healthcare marketing agencies (Cardinal Digital, Inbound Medic, NoGood) and tracking SaaS (Profound, AthenaHQ). Specialty AEO operators are typically less visible because they have not yet built the procurement-stage page surface that captures this exact query.

If your practice is named in the first answer paragraph or top-3 recommendation set, the foundation for this prompt is in place.
