AI visibility · Hair restoration · Raleigh

A Raleigh clinic is named in every AI answer about hair transplants. The national chains trail it.

In September 2026 I asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity about hair transplants, FUE, beard transplants, PRP, scalp micropigmentation and hair loss treatment for women in Raleigh. Everything on this page is what came back. No sample data.

Non-surgical is wide open

53 providers were named for PRP, laser, scalp micropigmentation and hair loss in women. Jernigan's and The PRP Center lead at 66.7%. 32 were named once.

Scalp micropigmentation went to specialists who don't appear in the transplant answers: Carolina Scalp Center, International Hairlines and Shador Studio.

Question by question

Chains win the generic question. Specialists win the specific one.

Ask for a hair transplant and Bosley and HairClub are named first. Ask for an FUE surgeon or a beard transplant and it's AZ Hair Restoration and local surgeons.

The expensive part

Paying for search and still missing.

I pulled 69 Triangle hair restoration providers from Google Maps and checked the ones AI never named against their own websites for advertising tags. These are businesses already paying to be found.

Your clinic, not the market

What the audit returns for you

The market numbers above are public. Yours are specific: how often you're named, who takes the answers you lose, the sources the engines read instead of your site, and where in the Triangle you disappear.

Your share of voice

The same 15-answer measurement run on your clinic, against the names above.

Visibility by treatment

Transplant, FUE, PRP, laser, scalp micropigmentation. The chains win the broad question. The specific ones are open.

Who the engines cite instead

The directories and review profiles handed to the patient in your place.

Geography across the Triangle

Run per location: Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Durham. “Near me” answers change block to block.

Brands behind the campaigns I have run

Carrier campaigns — Humana, Aetna, Elevance and Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare plans — were run during five years at Tranzact, a Willis Towers Watson company. Direct client work: Sherpa Collaborative, Vital Plan, RawlsMD, O2 Fitness, VerticalIQ, 10ofThose, Red Bird, Wolk360, Bunn Gear and Gotham Trading. All marks belong to their owners; their appearance here indicates work performed, not endorsement.
