The Challenge
Vision Source Rio Eye Care had a well-established eye care practice with experienced doctors, comprehensive services, and valuable educational content. However, despite having quality information, the website had limited visibility across AI-powered search platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Google AI Mode.
Although the website performed well in traditional search, it was not fully optimized for AI-driven search experiences, where Large Language Models (LLMs) retrieve, summarize, and cite trusted sources when answering user queries.

- Prompt-based FAQ implementation
- Structured Data (Schema) enhancements
