This article provides industry insights for dermatology clinic directors and hospital operators. It compares the characteristics of different types of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) solutions. I understand what GEO is, but where should I start? While interest in AI search optimization (GEO) has grown, what exactly needs to be done remains unclear. Whether to entrust it to an agency, adopt a monitoring tool, or register on a platform — the more options there are, the harder it becomes to decide. This article divides the current dermatology GEO approaches in the market into three types and outlines their actual utility and limitations. Type 1 — GEO Agencies This is the most widely known method. Consultants analyze the hospital's website, propose content strategies, and build a structure optimized for AI search. What they actually do: Most involve adding GEO concepts to existing SEO methodologies, such as adding structured data to websites, creating FAQ pages, producing blog content, and securing backlinks. Limitations: Costs are high, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of won per month, with ongoing maintenance costs throughout the contract period. A more fundamental problem is that general GEO agencies are not specialized in the context of dermatology. Agencies that understand and apply unique dermatological trust signals such as "board-certified dermatologist status," "HIRA institution code," and "compliance with medical advertising laws" are rare. Suitable for: Cases where there is already a sufficient marketing budget and a desire to outsource the entire digital strategy for the hospital brand. Type 2 — GEO Monitoring Tools These are tools that track how often a hospital is mentioned in services like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Various services are emerging domestically and internationally, displaying "AI Answer Share of Voice" on a dashboard. What they actually do: They periodically send predefined queries to AI search engines and measure the frequency with which the hospital's name is included in the answers. It is a tool that measures the current status, like a thermometer. Limitations: They measure but do not improve. When it's discovered that the hospital is not mentioned in AI answers, what to do next is a separate issue. Connecting measurement results to actual infrastructure improvements is the user's responsibility. Suitable for: Cases where GEO infrastructure is already somewhat established, and there is a desire to quantitatively track its effects. Monitoring without infrastructure is like having a thermometer but no medicine. Type 3 — Dermatology-Specialized Data Platforms The third type differs in approach from the previous two. It neither provides consulting like an agency nor merely measures like a monitoring tool. It is a method of directly creating a data layer that AI can actually read and cite hospital information from. Keudeomjip falls into this category. Based on public data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA), it generates structured profiles for dermatology clinics nationwide, and the following infrastructure is automatically built upon partner registration. Schema.org MedicalClinic structured data (recognized by Google, Bing, AI crawlers) AI-exclusive Markdown API (/api/llms/clinic/{slug}) — an endpoint directly read by GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot Automatic generation of pages in 4 languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Russian llms.txt registration — official entry point for AI crawlers HIRA institution code linkage — "government public data-based" trust signal Limitations: It does not cover the entire hospital brand strategy like an agency. What Keudeomjip does is create a data structure that AI can read, and the hospital decides what content to place on top of it. Suitable for: Cases where one wants to establish AI search infrastructure without complex contracts or large initial costs. Comparison of Three Types Item GEO Agency Monitoring Tool Data Platform(Keudeomjip) Starting Cost Hundreds of thousands to millions of won per month Monthly subscription fee Free (demo period) Setup Period 2-4 weeks consulting Immediately (measurement only) Immediately upon registration Dermatology Specialization General-purpose General-purpose HIRA data-basedDermatology-specialized Multilingual Support Separate cost Not applicable Korean, English, Japanese, Russian automatic AI API Provision None None LLM Markdown APIprovided by default Data Source Reliability Hospital-provided text Not applicable HIRA public data+ Hospital input Infrastructure Establishment ✓ ✗ (measurement only) ✓ Realistic Selection Criteria from a Hospital's Perspective The three types are not mutually exclusive. The ideal combination is to build infrastructure with a data platform, measure effects with a monitoring tool, and supplement brand strategy with an agency if needed. However, the starting point is important. If you only monitor without infrastructure, there's no way to improve, and if you only receive agency consulting without infrastructure, the very structure that AI can read will not be created. For AI to cite hospital information, that information must exist in a format that AI can read. The fastest way to start is to register on a platform that already has that structure. Keudeomjip Partner Registration Inquiry: /contact Partner features are currently offered for free during the demo period. Frequently Asked Questions Will registration guarantee appearance on ChatGPT? No service guarantees AI exposure. Keudeomjip is an infrastructure that creates structured data readable by AI, increasing the likelihood of citation. AI answers are determined by each service's algorithm. Can it be used with other GEO agencies? Yes. Keudeomjip is not a replacement for agencies but a platform that adds a data layer readable by AI. It can be used in conjunction with existing marketing channels. How is medical advertising review handled? The hospital must verify the compliance of procedure and event information entered by partners with medical advertising laws. Keudeomjip distinguishes and displays objective information based on HIRA public data from information directly entered by the hospital.

AI search exposure results may vary depending on the algorithm of each AI service.
