AI visibility for
health tech.

Health queries face the strictest AI filtering of any category — LLMs are heavily trained to refuse or heavily caveat medical advice and to cite only authoritative sources. That filter is a wall for most health-tech brands. It's also a competitive moat once you clear it.

—— § 03 · The playbook

How to get cited in health tech.

  1. 01

    Clinician bylines are non-negotiable

    Every piece of health content needs a clinician reviewer with credentials (MD, DO, RN, LCSW, PsyD, etc.) visible on the page. LLMs explicitly check for this. Without it, your content is dead-letter regardless of quality.

  2. 02

    Link to peer-reviewed sources

    Every claim links to PubMed, NEJM, JAMA, or Cochrane where possible. This is what separates health-tech content that gets cited from content that gets filtered.

  3. 03

    Be explicit about what you are and aren't

    Is your tool a medical device (FDA 510k)? A wellness app? A telehealth platform? State it plainly, in a structured way. Ambiguity here tanks your trust score.

  4. 04

    Publish privacy and HIPAA details as crawlable HTML

    Not a PDF buried in the footer. A /privacy or /hipaa page with specific facts about how PHI is handled. This is a strong authority signal in health queries.
