The problem

Treatment pages were well written and never cited. The audit showed a bot-protection rule returning 403 to every AI crawler.

What we shipped

  • Firewall allow-list for four AI crawlers
  • Organization and MedicalClinic schema with sameAs records
  • llms.txt and dateModified on every treatment page

Result

Assistants can fetch the site. Citations on treatment queries followed within weeks.
