What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Does It Replace Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

Read more 〉

  • When a pet owner’s furry family member needs veterinary care, they turn to Google. 
  • Now, Google AI Overview now attempts to answer the question instead of “listing” results. 
  • According to recent data, zero-click searches now account for over 65% of all Google searches—and veterinary-related searches are no exception.
  • This means that nearly two-thirds of pet owners searching for animal health information, emergency care guidance, or local veterinary services get the answers they need and never click through to a practice website.

At Cheshire Partners, we offer traditional SEO services and AI Search Optimization, known as Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).  By combining proven SEO fundamentals with cutting-edge GEO techniques, we ensure your veterinary practice dominates local search results, both in AI sections and organic search, to attract the pet-owning families in your community.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) – AI Dominating SEO

Pet owners will always need professional veterinary care, no matter how much information Google provides. Your job is to ensure that when they’re ready to make that appointment or facing a pet emergency, your practice is the first one they think to call.

Successful veterinary practices are adapting their strategies so that their practice is the one that shows up in the AI search section.  Rather than viewing the AI search as lost website traffic, consider it another channel for building relationships with pet owners in your community–along with building your client base and attracting new clients.

Our successful approach is to combine traditional SEO with AI Search Techniques as part of a comprehensive digital strategy—providing immediate value to pet owners while positioning your practice as the go-to local veterinary experts.

AI search is not a trend—it’s a shift. Let us help your veterinary clinic stay ahead.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Keyword Ranking

Traditional SEO and Keyword Ranking Still Matters for Veterinary Practices

Unlike retail businesses or content publishers that have been heavily impacted by search changes, veterinary practices have unique advantages that make traditional SEO particularly valuable:

That’s why Cheshire’s proven traditional SEO matters, from website speed (important for mobile), usability (click to call, click to book),  technical site structure, to on-page optimization (title tags, meta descriptions), internal linking, content creation and management, fast loading contact information, schema tagging and location integration, is essential for every veterinary website.

SEO and GEO Matter More Than Ever!

Our successful approach is to combine traditional SEO with AI Search Techniques as part of a comprehensive digital strategy—providing immediate value to pet owners while positioning your practice as the go-to local veterinary experts.

Smart veterinary practices will hire Cheshire to:

  • Change the SEO analysis to monitor AI Overview mentions/links and view zero-click results as another form of marketing presence
  • Focus on building trust and authority through helpful information that is properly formatted for generative engines (AI engines)
  • Optimize for local searches that drive phone calls and appointments
  • Create content that establishes expertise even without clicks
  • Use zero-click visibility to build brand recognition in their community

The Veterinary Advantage

Veterinary practices have a unique advantage in the zero-click era: many pet health searches are urgent. Even when pet owners get initial information from featured snippets, they often still need professional veterinary care. Your goal is to be the practice they think of when that featured snippet says “contact your veterinarian immediately.”

Building Trust Through Visibility

When your practice’s content appears in featured snippets answering pet health questions, you’re building trust and positioning yourself as a local expert. Pet owners who see your practice name associated with helpful, accurate information are more likely to choose you when they need veterinary services.
