Zero AI visibility to the #1 AI source link in 48 hours.
In March 2026, Google's AI Overview for our client's core search term named eight competitors and not The Dental Boutique. Two days after we rebuilt one page, the practice held the #1 AI source link. Within a month, it was named first in the answer itself.
A single-location practice competing against multi-location chains.
The Dental Boutique is a boutique dental practice in Midtown Manhattan, offering SureSmile clear aligner therapy alongside general and cosmetic care. AG2 Digital handles the practice's digital marketing, working directly with Dr. Carlos Huerta on how the practice shows up in search against multi-location competitors with far larger footprints across the city.
In early 2026, that competitive gap showed up somewhere standard SEO reporting doesn't look: the AI Overview answer sitting above the organic results. Google's AI Overview for the practice's highest-intent search term returned eight source links, all of them competitors. We took that as the brief.

What changed after one page rebuild.

No backlinks were built and no off-page activity ran during the window. One page, rebuilt, was the entire lever.
Powered by VERA.
The rebuild was produced using VERA, a proprietary GEO content methodology that surfaces operational facts and credentials living inside a client's own knowledge, not on the public web, and engineers a page around them for AI answer engines. For this project that meant a structured interview with Dr. Huerta, which surfaced his SureSmile Key Opinion Leader designation and the practice's air-pressurized aligner fabrication technique, neither of which existed on any competing page.
The technical detail. The entity scoring model, the schema work, and the complete citation-tracking data behind this result are part of VERA's production methodology, the same one behind every AG2 Digital GEO engagement.
SEO, design, and now AI search, under one relationship.
The Dental Boutique's engagement with AG2 Digital covers the standard work: local SEO, on-site technical health, and site design on Squarespace. This project added AI-answer visibility as a layer on top of that existing relationship, using VERA's GEO methodology for the entity work specifically. Clients don't need a second agency relationship to compete in AI Overviews. They need their existing marketing partner to add the layer.
