Why GEO / AEO matters in EHR
health IT marketers cannot win AI shortlists on content alone if GEO / AEO is broken. Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) aim to improve presence in AI-generated answers. BatSignal measures the crawl and citation evidence those practices target.
In EHR, common blockers include: Public roadmap and changelog are missing; Structured data is incomplete on commercial URLs; Competitor docs sites dominate retrieval. Incumbents and well-documented review sites often dominate AI answers until you publish crawlable comparison content.
