# Alterank

> Alterank is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) agency specializing in high-ticket clinics — hair restoration first, and the wider aesthetics cluster (med spas and injectables, cosmetic dentistry, cosmetic surgery). Alterank gets clinics and their surgeons cited, quoted, and recommended inside the answers AI tools generate, in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude, rather than just ranked on a traditional search results page.

## What is Alterank?

Alterank is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) agency that helps businesses become visible inside AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Founded in 2026 by Aman Bohra, Alterank specializes in AI visibility through citation building, entity optimization, structured data, and authority signals.

Alterank's focus is high-ticket elective clinics, where a patient researches for months before booking and a single new patient is worth enough to justify the work. The primary specialization is hair transplant and hair restoration clinics; the same method extends across the aesthetics cluster. Alterank works with clinics internationally and is not restricted to any single market.

## Who Alterank is for

Clinics that are good but invisible: real surgical credentials and real results, an owner-operator who can make a decision, a high-value procedure, and absence from the AI answers their patients are actually reading. Alterank does not work with businesses whose average order value cannot support the engagement, and does not sell guaranteed placements, which organic AI answers do not have.

## What Alterank does

Alterank helps brands become the source AI cites. The work combines three things: clean technical signals and structured data on your own pages, authoritative off-domain mentions and listings that AI tools trust, and clearly-written, self-contained content that language models can extract and attribute.

## Key definitions

- **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO):** the practice of getting a brand cited and recommended inside AI-generated answers, instead of competing for a ranked link. It combines structured data, authoritative third-party mentions, and quotable content so generative engines treat the brand as a trusted reference.
- **GEO vs SEO:** SEO optimizes for ranking a page in a list of links a person clicks. GEO optimizes for being cited inside an AI-generated answer the person reads directly, often without clicking.
- **Citation audit:** a structured review of where AI tools currently pull their answers for a business's buyer-intent queries, showing exactly where the brand is present, absent, or misrepresented, and which sources it needs to be included in.

## How it works

1. **Citation Audit**: map where AI tools currently pull answers for your buyer-intent queries.
2. **Gap Analysis**: identify which sources you're missing from.
3. **Get Cited**: place and build the off-domain mentions, listings, and content that get you included.
4. **Track & Refresh**: monitor and refresh citations as AI models update over time.
