About & methodology
MentionRise helps established implant clinics get discovered, trusted and chosen across Google and AI search.
Our approach
AI answer engines and Google draw on many of the same foundations: crawlable pages, clear treatment content, unambiguous business facts and genuine authority. We fix those foundations, build the patient-education content that answers real questions, and track what changes — with honest reporting and no guaranteed rankings.
How the free audit works
Our scanner fetches your public homepage, robots.txt, XML sitemap and a sample of key pages (treatment, contact, about, FAQ). It respects robots.txt for sampled pages, never logs in, and reads at most a handful of pages.
The AI Patient Discovery Score is out of 100. Up to 67 points come from 25+ on-site checks across six weighted categories; the remaining 33 cover off-site AI visibility (live AI answer share, reviews and citations, competitor position), which is verified on the qualification call:
- Crawl & indexing access — weight 25
- Search metadata & service content — weight 20
- Machine-readable business info — weight 15
- Location & contact clarity — weight 15
- Internal linking & architecture — weight 15
- Technical & mobile basics — weight 10
Checks we can't evaluate are excluded rather than penalized. If too little can be assessed, we report “insufficient evidence” rather than inventing a number.
AI engine readiness
For each major AI engine we check whether its crawler (for example OAI-SearchBot and GPTBot for ChatGPT, Google-Extended for Gemini, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Bingbot for Copilot) is allowed by your robots.txt and reachable through your firewall, combined with the content and entity signals those engines rely on.
What the audit doesn't cover
Google Business Profile, reviews, backlinks, Core Web Vitals and competitor comparisons are reviewed on the qualification call.
