Healthcare AEO Agency India — Rank in Google AI Overview + ChatGPT + Perplexity

· Book a free audit · Read the pillar guides

40-60% of Indian healthcare queries in 2026 now trigger Google AI Overview or LLM answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini). Patients get the answer without clicking. Traditional SEO firms optimise for a SERP that's disappearing. ICG built AIO Intel — the first Indian healthcare AEO dashboard tracking citation rate across 5 AI engines — and optimises the 40-60 word answer + FAQPage schema + reviewedBy signals that determine which pages get cited.

Why ICG is different

Three reasons brands pick ICG.

01

AIO Intel dashboard — citation rate across 5 AI engines

ICG built the first Indian healthcare AEO dashboard. Tracks which healthcare queries trigger AIO, which pages get cited, citation frequency, and competitor comparison across Google AIO, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. This is the data most agencies don't have.

02

40-60 word direct answer format

AI engines cite the first 40-60 word direct answer following a Q-format H2. ICG optimises this format explicitly — every ICG-published page has a structured direct answer, key stats block, and entity definition designed for AI citation.

03

reviewedBy schema + entity graph for E-E-A-T

AI citation prioritises E-E-A-T signals. ICG deploys reviewedBy Person schema (5-person Editorial Board with credentials) on every page + sitewide entity graph (13 nodes: Organization + Founders + Team + Services all cross-linked via @id) to signal authoritative content.

What's included

Full service scope.

AIO Intel dashboard setup + monitoring
AIO citation baseline audit (which queries trigger, which cite, which don't)
Content architecture for AIO citation (Q-format H2s, direct answers, key stats blocks)
FAQPage + HowTo + Article schema for AI parsing
reviewedBy Person schema for E-E-A-T signalling
Sitewide entity graph @id cross-linking
Content refresh for AIO trigger optimisation
Competitor citation gap analysis
Multi-engine tracking (Google · ChatGPT · Perplexity · Claude · Gemini)
Attribution modelling: AIO-attributed traffic → CRM
For enterprise scale
Leading a hospital group, PE-backed chain, or multi-city healthcare business? ICG's enterprise programme (₹5-15L/mo · Co-Founder-engaged · benchmark-driven) is where the growth architecture, board-ready reporting, and strategic direction come together.

Frequently asked

Healthcare AEO Agency India — Rank in Google AI Overview + ChatGPT + Perplexity — FAQ.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and how is it different from SEO? +

AEO is optimising for AI answers (Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini) rather than traditional SERP rankings. AI engines cite content — they don't rank it. AEO focuses on 40-60 word direct answers, Q-format H2s, FAQPage schema, reviewedBy signals, and entity graph — all signals that increase citation likelihood.

How does ICG track AI Overview citation rate? +

ICG's AIO Intel dashboard queries Google AIO, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini across a healthcare-vertical query set and tracks which pages get cited, which questions trigger AIO, and which competitors are being sourced. We track daily and report weekly.

How long does AEO take to show citation results? +

First citations typically appear 60-90 days after content publish, as AI engines index and evaluate content. Compounding accelerates at month 4-6 as reviewedBy schema + entity graph + internal linking density all mature. Portfolio benchmark: 18-28% qualified query citation rate by month 6.

Compliance framework · healthcare

Compliance is where most agencies fail.

Healthcare advertising in India sits at the intersection of NMC (registered medical practitioners), DPDP Act (patient data), and ASCI (advertising standards). Generalist marketing agencies routinely violate one or more.

Primary law
NMC Ethics Code Section 6 + DPDP Act 2023 + ASCI Code

No comparative claims without published data. Patient testimonials require DPDP consent. Advertising must match the specialist's registered scope.

Penalty for violation
Enforcement bite

NMC / ASCI enforcement action + potential takedown of advertising accounts

ICG approach
Compliance-first workflow

Every ad + landing page + email routed through a compliance checkpoint before publishing. Zero enforcement actions across 150+ healthcare clients since 2018.

Frameworks ICG operates under

NMC Ethics Code 2026 · DPDP Act 2023 · ART (Regulation) Act 2021 · NABH 6th Edition · Dental Council of India · Schedule J (drug advertising) · UCPMP 2024 · ASCI Healthcare Guidelines

Compliance interpretations current as of August 2026. Enforcement bulletins tracked weekly by ICG's compliance research desk. See our editorial standards for how we source and update these.

The team behind your account

Every diagnostic is led by a founder.
You'll know their names before the engagement begins.

ICG was built by three IIT BHU engineers who entered healthcare marketing with a specific intent: to build the tools that didn't exist and run the campaigns that most agencies couldn't. When you book a diagnostic, Rohit or Abhash leads it personally. Not an account manager. Not a senior executive. The people who built what you're evaluating.

The ICG team — 60+ healthcare marketing specialists at Gurgaon HQ

60+ specialists.
One growth engine.

Performance marketers, analysts, AI engineers, content strategists, and operations specialists — all healthcare-only. Headquartered in Gurgaon since 2018.
