# AI Visibility for Montréal Med spas AI Visibility Index, week of Friday, July 17, 2026. Customers are already asking AI which med spa to call. Showing up in the answer is only half of it. What decides the job is whether AI can actually answer for you: what you offer, when you're free, what it costs. This breaks down where Montréal, QC Med spas businesses stand in AI answers today, where it falls apart, and how to fix it. ## The short version - We put 24 real customer questions about Montréal, QC Med spas to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. The same handful of names recur, but only six (Clinique Face MD, Victoria Park Medispa, CHIC Laser / Medical Spa, Reimagine Clinic, Dermamode and Dermapure) are named by all four. - Being listed isn't being answered for. AI nails what you do and whether you do it, then breaks down on the questions that decide the job. - Ask what you charge and every assistant invents a different number: on Clinique Versa MD the quotes span $650, on New Age Spa $575. Ask when you're available and it hedges: "I can't book on your behalf, call them." - Fix the gaps below (pricing first) and you move from a name in a list to the business AI can actually book. ## 1. See where you stand Which businesses AI names isn't random. Ask ChatGPT "who's the best med spa in Montréal?" a few times and you'll see the same handful of names, right now that's Clinique Face MD, Clinique DGB Vieux-Montréal and New Age Spa. Only Clinique Face MD, Victoria Park Medispa, CHIC Laser / Medical Spa, Reimagine Clinic, Dermamode and Dermapure are named across all four assistants. If your business isn't in that set, AI isn't recommending you yet, and no amount of ad spend changes that. Check where you rank ## 2. Showing up isn't the same as being answered for AI is good at the surface questions. It answered what they offer 72% of the time and fit 44%, directly and accurately. It's the decision questions where it falls apart. Across the Montréal, QC Med spas businesses we tracked, on availability it hedged or deflected 77% the time, and on pricing the assistants' quotes for a single business diverged by as much as $650. Those are the exact questions a customer asks right before they book. > Ask when you're available and AI won't commit: "I can help you check, but I can't book on your behalf." Ask what you charge and every assistant invents a different number: on Clinique Versa MD the quotes span $650, on New Age Spa $575. A customer comparing prices through AI is getting fabricated quotes. We roll this into a depth score: how completely AI can carry a customer to a booking. Victoria Park Medispa tops the Montréal board at 59; New Age Spa sits at 39, not because it's a worse business, but because AI has nothing concrete to say about why you'd choose it. Depth is the difference between a name in a list and the business AI actually books the job with. ## 3. The five things AI needs to know about you These are the five dimensions we grade depth on, and the exact checklist for moving from "mentioned" to "booked." Get each one accurate, complete and current everywhere AI looks. 1. Treatments & offerings. AI already gets this mostly right, so keep it complete: Botox, filler, laser, microneedling, facials, body treatments. List the actual treatments rather than a generic "aesthetics." Keep: a clear, current treatment list AI can read. 2. Booking & availability [AI hedges]. AI won't commit to a real time: "they appear to be taking clients, but I can't confirm a Botox slot this week; call them." That deflection loses the consult. Fix: connect live booking so AI can say "a consult is open Thursday" instead of sending them to the phone. 3. Per-unit pricing [AI invents it]. Aesthetic pricing is the most opaque of any local category, so AI fabricates a price per unit and per syringe, and every assistant guesses differently. Clients get fake quotes. Fix: publish real per-unit and per-treatment pricing AI can quote. 4. Who injects & credentials [AI hedges]. Ask who does the treatment and AI hedges on the one thing that matters most for safety: "a licensed provider, but I can't confirm." Clients want a nurse injector or MD by name. Fix: state who injects and their credentials so AI can name a licensed nurse or MD. 5. Before-and-after evidence [AI goes generic]. Ask why choose you and AI recites "experienced, natural results," true of everyone and useless to a client. It can't point to a single result. Fix: publish before-and-after photos and real case studies AI can cite as evidence. ## The fastest way to close the gap This is exactly what Courtyard does. It builds a living knowledge base of your business and connects it to your booking, hours, services and pricing, so AI stays accurate and can recommend and book through you, not an aggregator. Set up in about 10 minutes, first month free. Then watch your depth score climb week over week. The more AI understands your business, the more customers it sends. ## Frequently asked questions ### Why does AI get my pricing wrong? Because it's guessing. If your pricing isn't published where AI can read it, each assistant fills the gap differently. We saw a $650 spread across assistants on Clinique Versa MD. The fix isn't to hide pricing; it's to give AI something accurate to say. ### How do I know if AI recommends my business? Look it up on the AI Visibility Index. You'll see which of the four assistants name you, your share of voice, and your depth score. If you're not listed, AI isn't surfacing you yet. ### Isn't this just SEO for AI? No. SEO ranks a webpage. This is whether AI understands your business well enough to help someone who's already asking: the right services, the real availability, an accurate price. Ranking doesn't help if the assistant can't answer the next question. --- Rankings reflect the output of third-party AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode) on the dates measured.
