We checked 75 med spas — 65% were never recommended
On 2026-06-24 we took 75 real med spas across 75 metros and asked AI the question their own customers ask — “best med spa in their city”. 49 of the 75 never came up at all. Not because they’re bad businesses — because the engines didn’t have what they needed to recommend them with confidence. See the full study, business by business →
Why med spas get left out
Aesthetic buyers ask AI for a recommendation the way they used to ask a friend. The engines lean hard on RealSelf, Google reviews, and local press round-ups. A med spa with a thin RealSelf presence, few recent Google reviews, or no mentions in "best med spas in your city" articles simply isn't in the data the model draws from — so it never gets recommended, no matter how good the work is.
What gets a med spa recommended by AI
For med spas, the engines lean on RealSelf, Google Business Profile reviews, Yelp, local "best of" press lists. The work:
- A complete, consistent profile on the review and aesthetics sites AI reads
- A steady flow of recent, real patient reviews mentioning the treatments you want to be known for
- Getting included in the local "best of" and press lists the engines cite
- Fixing wrong hours, addresses, and service lists the AI may be repeating
