Before flying to Costa Rica, your patients ask for a recommendation. They ask ChatGPT.
Patients weighing dental tourism are already researching with AI before requesting a quote. We position your clinic to be the one they recommend.

Patients pricing dental tourism don't open Google first. They open ChatGPT.
Picture a patient in Houston who needs four implants. At home she's quoted $22,000. One Tuesday night she asks ChatGPT: "What's the best dental clinic in Costa Rica for implants?" ChatGPT gives her three names. By Friday she has written to two of them.
If your clinic wasn't on that list, that patient never existed for you. And there's no way to know how many went the same way this month.

We make AI recommend your clinic.
your clinic
We audit
We map exactly which dental queries cite your clinic (and which don't) across the 5 leading AI platforms, in English and Spanish.
We optimize
We fix what AI reads about your clinic: your site, your Google profile, your reviews, and the pages that answer your patients' questions.
We report
Every month you get a dashboard with every citation won, against which competing clinics, on which queries.
New patients, without paying per click.
With Google Ads, the day you stop paying, your clinic disappears. Here you don't pay per click: the work stays on your site and in what AI reads about your clinic, and the patients who arrive have already decided to travel.
Built for clinics where 1 case pays for the service.
If your average ticket is $1,000 or higher, this is for you.
Dental tourism clinics
U.S./Canadian/European patients who research weeks before traveling. High average ticket, decision driven by online trust.

Frequently asked
How fast can I start showing up?
First changes are measured at one month. The full result, at 90 days.
How do you measure citations?
With our own engine, built in house. It asks the 5 main AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews) the same questions a patient asks before they know your name, and records when your clinic shows up and when your direct competing clinics do. The full method is published at referido.pro/en/methodology/, sample and counting rules included. You receive a monthly dashboard with the results.
My patients are from the U.S. and Canada. Does this reach them?
Yes. English-language ChatGPT and Perplexity are the most-used models in dental tourism. We optimize your clinic in both languages.
Does this replace SEO?
No. It complements it. SEO captures clicks; AEO captures zero-click searches, which are now the majority.
Does this compete with my Google Ads spend for dental tourism?
No. Google Ads charges you for every click; an AI recommendation doesn't. You can run both.
See which clinics AI recommends in your city (probably not yours).
Your free audit runs more than a dozen of the real searches your patients make, across the 5 leading AI platforms (from ChatGPT to Google AI Overviews): it shows which clinics you're up against and whether your clinic shows up at all.
