Find out what AI is saying about your practice

Your patients are asking ChatGPT for a pulmonologist faster than they can get a prior auth. Make sure AI recommends you instead of defaulting to Stanford or UCSF every time. No engineering skills required — you’ve got enough to deal with between CPAP non-compliance and Bay Area wildfire smoke season.

The platform

Everything you need to get recommended.

Visibility Monitoring

Track how every AI platform sees your practice

Get detailed visibility scores across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and AI Overviews — broken down by patient persona, clinical topic, and query. See exactly where AI recommends your practice and where it sends patients to competitors (spoiler: it’s probably Stanford).

Content Engine

Publish content that helps AI recommend your practice

Pendium generates AI-optimized articles, patient guides, and educational content — all designed to help AI agents understand your specialties and recommend you. Sleep study preparation guides, CPAP vs. oral appliance comparisons, pulmonary rehab program explainers — published and scheduled automatically.

Site Health

Make sure AI can read your site

If AI can’t crawl and understand your website, it can’t recommend you. Our technical audit checks crawlability, schema markup, content structure, and performance — everything AI needs to learn about your practice. Because that beautiful Flash-era website your office manager built in 2011 isn’t cutting it.

Citation Tracking

Find every source AI uses to learn about pulmonary practices

See the 200+ websites AI platforms reference when talking about pulmonary, sleep, and critical care in the Bay Area. Identify which sources mention you, which mention competitors, and where the biggest opportunities are to get cited and recommended. Healthgrades, Zocdoc, WebMD, Vitals — we track them all.

How Pendium works

All the visibility,
none of the admin headaches

Your front desk is already drowning in prior auths, insurance calls, and that one patient who keeps rescheduling their sleep study. Pendium handles the AI visibility side so you don’t have to learn another marketing platform between bronchoscopies.

1

We learn your practice

Enter your website URL, Yelp page, or Google Business Profile. Pendium analyzes your online presence — your specialties, patient reviews, physician bios, insurance info — and builds a complete profile of your pulmonary, sleep, and critical care practice.

2

We simulate real patients

We create detailed personas that match your actual patients — a tech worker in SOMA who snores like a foghorn, a Marin County retiree with COPD who refuses to drive over the bridge, an anxious parent in Fremont whose kid has asthma. We run their real queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

3

You see where you stand

Get visibility scores across every AI platform, every patient persona, and every clinical topic. See exactly where AI recommends your practice, where it sends patients to Stanford or UCSF instead, and where you’re completely invisible.

4

We identify what to improve

Pendium generates prioritized actions — content to create, pages to optimize, topics to target — everything needed to help AI agents understand your practice and start recommending you over the big hospital systems.

5

We create content for AI agents

Patient guides on CPAP alternatives, sleep apnea FAQs, pulmonary rehab explainers, critical care capability pages — all designed to help AI agents recommend your practice to the right patients in the Bay Area at the right time.

6

We keep improving 24/7

Pendium continuously monitors your visibility, publishes new content, and drives patient referrals. As AI platforms evolve, new competitors pop up, and someone opens yet another concierge sleep clinic in Palo Alto, your presence keeps growing.

The new reality

Your next patient asked AI for a recommendation.
Was your practice in the answer?

People don’t just search on Google and click the first few links anymore. They ask ChatGPT. They ask Claude. They ask Gemini. And those AI assistants answer with specific practice recommendations — not a list of blue links, but a direct “I’d recommend...” that carries more weight than a Yelp review from 2019.

73% of users trust AI recommendations over traditional search results. For Bay Area medical practices, this is a five-alarm situation. Your patients are literally the people building these AI systems — of course they’re using them to find their doctors. And right now, AI defaults to Stanford and UCSF for almost everything.

Pendium shows you exactly what AI tells patients about your practice and your competitors. Then we create the content that makes AI understand your specialties, your reputation, and why a patient in San Mateo doesn’t need to trek to Parnassus Heights for a sleep study.

Real-time monitoring

See exactly what AI tells patients about your practice

Track how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and AI Overviews talk about your practice across dozens of clinical topics — from sleep studies and CPAP titration to pulmonary function testing and ICU capabilities. See which conversations mention you, which send patients to UCSF Medical Center, and where you’re as invisible as a Peninsula sunset behind the fog.

Persona intelligence

Understand your patients’ AI journey

AI gives different answers to different people. A South Bay software engineer asking about sleep apnea gets different recommendations than a retired longshoreman in Oakland with COPD or a new mom in San Mateo worried about her baby’s breathing. We simulate real patient personas and run their actual queries so you see how AI responds to every type of patient in every part of the Bay.

Content engine

Content designed to influence AI agents

Pendium creates and optimizes content to help AI agents understand your practice and recommend you to the right patients. Sleep apnea treatment guides, COPD management resources, pulmonary rehab explainers, critical care FAQ pages — all structured for AI comprehension and published to the sources AI platforms trust most.

Continuous intelligence

Monitor how AI talks about healthcare in the Bay Area

Every day, Bay Area patients ask AI about symptoms, specialists, and practice recommendations. Pendium monitors these conversations across every major AI platform so you always know what AI says about your practice — and whether it’s sending your patients to Stanford again.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does “AI visibility” mean for my practice?
When a patient asks ChatGPT “who’s the best pulmonologist near me in the Bay Area?” or “where should I get a sleep study in San Jose?”, AI gives specific recommendations. AI visibility measures how often — and how positively — these AI platforms mention your practice. It’s the new version of being on the first page of Google, except now there are no pages — just one answer. And right now, that answer is probably “Stanford” or “UCSF.”
Which AI platforms do you monitor?
Pendium monitors ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overviews — seven major AI platforms that patients use to research healthcare providers. We run real queries that your patients actually ask — things like “best sleep doctor in San Francisco” and “pulmonologist who takes Blue Shield near Fremont” — and analyze the responses.
How does Pendium improve my visibility?
Three ways. First, we identify the exact queries and topics where your practice is invisible. Second, we generate AI-optimized content — patient guides, condition explainers, comparison pages — designed to help AI agents understand your practice and recommend you. Third, we continuously monitor to track improvement and find new opportunities. Most practices see measurable improvement within 60 days. That’s faster than getting a prior auth approved.
I’m a doctor, not a marketing person. Is this hard to use?
Easier than reading a sleep study. Enter your website URL and Pendium handles everything: scanning AI platforms, analyzing your visibility, generating content, and tracking improvement. The dashboard is designed for busy clinicians, not marketing agencies. You’ve mastered bronchoscopy — you can handle clicking a button.
What makes this different from regular SEO or healthcare directories?
Traditional SEO optimizes for Google’s search rankings — blue links on a results page. Healthcare directories like Healthgrades and Zocdoc are just listings. AI visibility is different: ChatGPT and Claude don’t show links, they give direct recommendations. Even if you’re on page 1 of Google and have a perfect Healthgrades profile, ChatGPT might still tell patients to go to UCSF. Pendium makes sure AI platforms actually know about and recommend your practice.
Why should Bay Area practices care about this specifically?
Because the Bay Area is ground zero for AI adoption. Your patients are literally the people building ChatGPT and Gemini — of course they’re using AI to find their doctors. The Bay Area also has insane competition from academic medical centers (Stanford, UCSF, Kaiser) that dominate AI recommendations by default. If you’re an independent or small group practice, AI visibility is how you compete with their billion-dollar marketing budgets.
