The Challenge
Alpha Dental Excellence is an established practice in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, in the crowded Philadelphia suburbs. Good reviews, a professional website, a real reputation.
But cosmetic dentistry patients research harder than anyone. Veneers, implants, and full-arch cases are five-figure decisions, and increasingly the first question goes to ChatGPT, not Google. When someone asked AI for a cosmetic dentist near them, Alpha Dental was not in the answer.
The practices AI named instead were not better. They were just more readable to the engines doing the recommending.
The Solution
Google Business Profile overhaul
Optimized categories, attributes, and the Q&A section, with a posting cadence aligned to their highest-value cosmetic services.
Schema markup
Added LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and Service schema across the website, making every page readable to AI crawlers.
Citation and directory buildout
Claimed and optimized Bing Places, Apple Maps, Foursquare, and 15-plus directories, and fixed NAP inconsistencies across all listings.
Content restructuring for AI
Rewrote service pages and FAQ content into the question-and-answer format AI platforms extract from.
The Process
Every Pleiades engagement runs the same four phases. The work compounds, which is why results show up fast and keep building.
Phase 1
AI visibility audit
We run the business through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews and map exactly where it does and does not appear, and why.
Phase 2
Directory foundation
We claim and complete the Foursquare, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and citation listings AI engines pull from, with consistent NAP across every platform.
Phase 3
Schema and content
We add LocalBusiness and Service schema and restructure key content so AI crawlers can read and cite exactly what the business offers.
Phase 4
Tracking and iteration
We monitor citation rate across every AI engine each month and keep refining what moves it.
