AI visibility for Tijuana surgeons

Your patients ask AI who to trust.
Be the name it says.

Tersefy builds AI visibility infrastructure for individual surgeons in Tijuana. Schema, entity architecture, and content that gets you named by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overview, not your competitor across town.

Then vs now

Patients stopped Googling. They started asking.

The first page of Google isn't the first answer anymore. ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews are. If AI can't cite you, the surgeon it cites wins the consult.

2024

SEO era

  • Patients Googled "best [procedure] Tijuana"
  • Clinics fought for page-one rankings
  • Agencies sold keywords and backlinks
  • Paid ads + reviews drove most inquiries
  • AI was a novelty, not a channel
2026

AI era

  • Patients ask ChatGPT by name
  • AI cites 3 surgeons, not 10 blue links
  • Schema and entity signals decide who's named
  • Reviews feed AI trust, not just Google
  • Invisible on AI = invisible in 2026

How it works

Four steps from invisible to cited

01

Cross-Border GEO Audit: $997

We test 25+ real patient prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. PDF report in 3 business days. Creditable toward setup.

02

GEO Setup

One-time foundation: schema, entity architecture, FAQ hubs, and directory cleanup across RealSelf, Healthgrades, Doctoralia, and GMB.

03

Monthly retainer

GEO articles, captions, prompt mining, schema upkeep, and entity work per surgeon. Priced by surgeon count, not feature tier.

04

Get cited

Initial mentions in 30-60 days. Full citations with credentials and pricing context in 60-90 days. Monthly audit shows the curve.

The infrastructure trap

Why your current agency can't do this

Most agencies built their stack for Google search: keywords, backlinks, ad accounts. That infrastructure doesn't translate to AI. LLMs don't read backlinks the way Google does. They extract structured entity data and cite it.

Adapting an SEO agency to GEO isn't a line-item change. It's a rebuild: new schema discipline, entity architecture per surgeon, prompt-mining workflows, citation tracking across four platforms, and content engineered for AI extraction rather than keyword density. Agencies either rebuild or pretend.

Tersefy started in AI. We don't have a 15-year SEO stack to defend. The work is the product.

Surgeon testimonials

From the surgeons we work with

Dr. Alejandro Quiroz
"Before Tersefy, ChatGPT didn't know my name. Now patients from San Diego book consultations saying AI recommended me specifically for deep plane facelifts. That's a different type of patient: informed, decided, ready."

Dr. Alejandro Quiroz

Plastic Surgery, Facial Rejuvenation • VIDA Wellness & Beauty Center, Tijuana

Dra. Gabriela Rodriguez Ruiz
"My PhD, my FACS fellowship, my 7,800 surgeries: all of it took 15 years to build. It used to be invisible on AI. Now ChatGPT cites it the first time someone asks about bariatric surgeons in Mexico."

Dra. Gabriela Rodriguez Ruiz, MD, PhD, FACS

Bariatric Surgery • VIDA Wellness & Beauty Center, Tijuana

Emilio Alcolea
"We built Tersefy inside VIDA. Every playbook was tested on real surgeons in a real clinic before it became a product. That's why the pricing is honest and the case study is public."

FAQ

Common questions

The Cross-Border GEO Audit ($997) is our paid diagnostic tier. It's creditable toward GEO Setup if you start a monthly plan within 30 days. Includes 25+ real patient prompts per surgeon across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview, competitor citation gap analysis, schema + entity architecture review, a PDF report in 3 business days, and a 30-minute walkthrough call.
Because AI visibility work happens per surgeon, not per clinic. Each surgeon needs their own entity architecture, their own schema, their own FAQ hub, and their own prompt-mining coverage. A two-surgeon practice is twice the work of a single-surgeon practice, regardless of what features you select. Pricing per surgeon is the only honest structure.
The monthly work compounds on the foundation. Schema, entity architecture, FAQ hubs, and directory cleanup have to be correct before content and optimization start stacking on top. Retainer work on a broken foundation wastes the first 60 days. The one-time setup ensures month-one output lands on ground that can hold it.
Most surgeons see initial AI mentions within 30 to 60 days of setup completion. Full citations with credentials, pricing context, and direct links typically appear within 60 to 90 days, depending on existing web presence. AI models update their knowledge regularly, and GEO content is structured to be picked up during those updates.
Yes. All monthly plans are month-to-month with no contracts and no cancellation fees. You keep all content, schema, and optimizations created for your practice. The one-time GEO Setup is non-refundable because the work is delivered upfront.
Currently Tersefy specializes in Tijuana surgeons and surgeon-led clinics because our team has direct operational experience in this market: the VIDA Wellness case study is built on that work. We may expand to Cancun, Mexico City, and Merida. If you serve international patients from another hub, reach out and we can discuss fit.
The Review Funnel sends automated SMS and WhatsApp surveys after patient visits. Ratings of 4 or 5 route patients toward Google Reviews; lower ratings route to private feedback so your team can follow up. It's priced per surgeon ($297/mo each) because each surgeon builds their own review stream and their own reputation. Shared clinic reviews don't lift any one surgeon in AI recommendations.
A 24/7 AI patient qualifier for Instagram DM and WhatsApp, bilingual English and Spanish. It collects procedure interest, medical history, budget, and timeline, answers common questions, and books consultations directly into your CRM calendar. Responds in under 60 seconds. Escalates complex cases (surgery decisions, financing) to human coordinators with full context. Setup is $1,497 one-time plus $397/mo.
Based on patterns observed across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview: content authority (structured factual content about the surgeon), schema markup (machine-readable credentials and procedures), review volume and rating, entity recognition (whether the AI ties the surgeon to specific procedures and locations), presence across medical directories (RealSelf, Healthgrades, Doctoralia, GMB), and content freshness. Tersefy works on all six systematically.
Traditional agencies optimize for Google search rankings and run paid ads. Tersefy optimizes for AI-generated answers: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. The outputs are different (schema and entity architecture versus keywords and backlinks), the metrics are different (citation share versus SERP position), and the infrastructure is different (LLM-readable content versus link-building). We publish pricing. Month-to-month. No retainer lock-in.
