SEO & AEO for Medical Weight Loss Practices
Get found by patients searching for Ozempic, Wegovy, medical weight loss, and GLP-1 medications.
GLP-1 medications have created unprecedented demand for medical weight loss. With GLP-1 prescriptions for weight loss growing 587% between 2019-2024,[1] patients are actively searching for providers who can prescribe Ozempic, Wegovy, and other treatments. This is one of the highest search-volume opportunities in healthcare.
The GLP-1 medication revolution has transformed the medical weight loss landscape virtually overnight. Semaglutide-based medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have demonstrated unprecedented efficacy, with patients achieving 15-20% body weight loss on average. More than 12% of Americans are now taking GLP-1 medications.[2] This clinical success has driven explosive patient demand – and fierce competition among providers.
The global GLP-1 market has reached $53 billion and is projected to reach $157 billion by 2030.[3] "Ozempic near me," "Wegovy doctor," and "semaglutide weight loss" are among the fastest-growing healthcare searches. Patients are actively seeking providers, and the practices that capture this demand are seeing transformative patient acquisition. But competition is intense, and basic SEO approaches aren't sufficient.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
When a patient asks ChatGPT "best orthopedic surgeon in Boston," is your practice among the sources it cites? With nearly 60% of US adults searching for health information online,[cdc-health-it-2023] and AI tools rapidly becoming part of that journey, practices that aren't optimized for answer engines are invisible to a growing segment of patients.

Entity SEO explained
When patients search for "orthopedic surgeon near me," Google isn't just matching keywords anymore – it's looking for known, trusted entities.[google-knowledge-graph] If your practice isn't established as an entity in Google's Knowledge Graph, you're invisible to both traditional search and AI tools like ChatGPT.
Guide
Traditional SEO vs entity-first SEO
For years, SEO meant targeting keywords – researching what patients search and optimizing pages to rank for those terms. But search engines have fundamentally changed. Google's Knowledge Graph now contains over 8 billion entities,[google-knowledge-graph] and AI systems like ChatGPT retrieve information by understanding what entities exist, not just which keywords match.[openai-rag] The practices still optimizing for keywords alone are increasingly invisible to both traditional search and AI.
Common challenges
Problems that practices in this specialty commonly face.
Common Problem
Why Your Website Traffic Is Up But Phone Calls Are Flat
Your analytics show website traffic growing – month over month, you're getting more visitors. But your phone isn't ringing any more than before. New patient inquiries remain stubbornly flat. This disconnect between traffic and results is increasingly common, and it signals a shift in how patients are using search.
Common Problem
Why Your Practice Doesn't Appear When Patients Ask ChatGPT
Patients are telling you they "asked ChatGPT" or "checked with AI" before booking. When you try the same queries, your practice doesn't come up. Meanwhile, competitors – sometimes with fewer credentials or worse reviews – are getting mentioned. This isn't random, and understanding why is the first step to fixing it.
