From 0% to 90% AI Visibility in 30 Days
FueGenix is a premium hair transplant clinic in the Netherlands charging EUR 50,000 minimum. Before optimization, they had 0% visibility in Gemini for their most important discovery query. 30 days later, Gemini calls them "the best for artistic perfection" globally. AEO Protocol documented every change. Here is the full case study.

Time to results
For "artistic perfection"
The Client: FueGenix
Not a Turkish hair mill doing 20 patients a day. This is one patient, one day, one surgeon who does every single graft himself.
Clinic Profile
- Location: Netherlands
- Starting Price: EUR 50,000
- Fly-out Service: EUR 500,000
- Clients: HNWIs, celebrities, royalty
- Wait List: 6-12 months
The Problem
Despite being positioned as one of the best in the world, their ideal customer, someone asking AI "where should I go if money is no object?", was being sent to competitors. Every. Single. Time.
Diagnosis: The 4 Problems
The audit revealed four specific issues causing AI invisibility.
The Pricing Mystery
Website said "prices on request." ChatGPT was telling people the clinic costs EUR 25-35k. The real price is EUR 50k.
Impact: Positioned against wrong competitors. Wrong tier entirely.
The First 50 Words
Homepage started with marketing fluff: "Unlock the art of natural restoration." "Experience precision like never before."
Impact: No WHO, WHAT, WHERE, or PRICE for AI to extract.
Discovery Query Failure
Branded queries worked fine ("What is FueGenix?"). But discovery queries failed ("Best hair transplant Netherlands").
Impact: Existing patients could find them. New patients could not.
No Global Positioning
Content focused entirely on Netherlands. Nothing positioned them for premium global searches like "best if money is no object."
Impact: Missing worldwide high-intent traffic.
The Playbook: 5 Changes We Made
Here is exactly what we changed over the next 30 days.
Published Explicit Pricing
No more "prices on request." The pricing page now clearly states "From EUR 50,000." The fly-out service says "From EUR 500,000." Written throughout the site.
Result: AI started extracting the RIGHT price. Correct competitive positioning.
