Here is what changed for Cara's practice after her new site went live.

  1. The same day

    Page 1 of Google

    Someone searching for a therapist in her area now found her on the first page. ChatGPT began showing her practice as well.

  2. Within weeks

    Several referrals a week

    Her referrals had been a trickle. Now she receives several every week.

  3. Today

    Hundreds of visits a day

    Her old site drew double digits on a good day.

Why I built it this way

  • 17 was 2
    AI-ready

    Facts AI can read about the business

  • 95 was 55
    Speed

    How fast it loads on a phone

  • 100 was 92
    SEO

    Found on Google

Cara runs a therapy practice in Portland, Maine, and more people find a therapist by asking an AI than they used to. An AI can only recommend a practice it can read, so I built hers to be read clearly: her therapies, her location, and her hours are written into structured data, and the site ships a plain-language file that tells AI assistants what she does. Google reads it the same way.

It is fast, and for a therapy practice that matters more than it sounds. Someone looking for a therapist is often anxious, and a page that makes them wait is a page they leave. Hers loads almost the instant they tap, on a phone, on any connection. That is the difference between a first-time visitor reaching out and giving up.

It is unmistakably hers, in her own colors and mark, and she runs it herself: her mailing list, her live Instagram, and a blog she updates without touching code. It is hers to keep.

What the rebuild was like

Nathan helped revamp my website to improve overall flow, user experience, and boost SEO and AI search. He provided a preview of the changes so I could actually see what it would look like before committing to anything. He then was very amenable to any feedback I had to still keep the same look and feel from my previous site that I felt spoke to my brand and personality more. Within the same day of going live, I was ranking in AI search, ChatGPT, and on page 1 of Google for my area. I've continued to get a steady stream of referrals each week, and traffic has grown from double digits per day to now consistent visits per day in the hundreds. Would absolutely recommend Jewell Web Design for creating a new website or optimizing the one you already have!

These decide whether an AI can find a practice, read it, and recommend it. Here is Cara's, before and after, with the web's numbers beside her.

  • 1 in 25 She tells AI what it may do Most sites: 1 in 25 Search yes, AI answers yes, model training no. Her rules, declared where AI reads them.
  • 1 in 26 She serves AI a clean text copy Most sites: 1 in 26 Any page, as plain text on request, so an assistant states her hours and services correctly instead of guessing.
  • The AI assistants are welcomed by name ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI, allowed in to read her and cite her.
  • She has a machine-readable business card A documented card and menu of facts, her practice, her hours, her location, that AI agents can look up.
  • none 2 17 Kinds of facts AI can read Most sites: none Her therapies, hours, and location, written in a form AI reads. The old site gave it two bare labels.

A few newer boxes, like online checkout and app logins, do not apply to a therapy practice, so they are not on her list. She has every one that does. The most-sites column: Cloudflare's 2026 scan of the web's 200,000 busiest domains, and the Web Almanac's 2024 and 2025 crawls.
