How AI systems are transforming the search for medical information

Patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) are increasingly using AI systems to find out about diseases, treatments and medical developments. AI-powered search and response systems bring together information from various sources and help to shape which content is noticed and how it is categorised.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies face four key challenges:

AI visibility: Are your medical information resources taken into account in relevant AI responses and cited as sources?
Quality of information: Is your medical content reproduced accurately, clearly and in the correct context?
Relevance to target audiences: Do your information resources reach patients and healthcare professionals in line with their respective information needs?
Regulatory requirements: How can digital visibility and medical communication be further developed whilst taking into account the German Law on the Advertising of Medicinal Products (HWG) and existing restrictions on access by healthcare professionals?

The opportunity: By developing SEO and GEO in tandem, organisations can improve the discoverability of medical information, strengthen their own online presence and tailor their digital communication more effectively to patients and the medical community.

Thinking about SEO and GEO together: improving AI visibility in a targeted way.

A successful SEO and GEO strategy combines technical fundamentals, high-quality medical information and a targeted focus on relevant search and user intent.

bbg bitbase group supports pharmaceutical and healthcare companies in systematically developing their digital information offerings and tapping into new opportunities for visibility and reach.

Häufige Fragen zur GEO-Optimierung für Pharma & Healthcare

Was ist GEO und wie unterscheidet es sich von SEO?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) erweitert die klassische Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) um die Sichtbarkeit in KI-gestützten Such- und Antwortsystemen wie ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Claude oder Perplexity.

SEO bildet dabei eine wesentliche Grundlage für GEO: Technische Zugänglichkeit, hochwertige Inhalte und eine klare Informationsarchitektur unterstützen sowohl die Auffindbarkeit in Suchmaschinen als auch die Berücksichtigung durch KI-Systeme.

Während SEO die Sichtbarkeit in klassischen Suchergebnissen verbessert, berücksichtigt GEO zusätzlich, wie Inhalte von KI-Systemen gefunden, eingeordnet, wiedergegeben und als Quellen herangezogen werden.

Wie lässt sich GEO im Pharma-Umfeld HWG-konform umsetzen?

SEO- und GEO-Maßnahmen im Pharma-Umfeld müssen die Vorgaben des Heilmittelwerbegesetzes (HWG), die jeweiligen Zielgruppen und regulatorische Freigabeprozesse berücksichtigen.

Entscheidend sind die rechtliche und medizinische Prüfung von Inhalten sowie die klare Trennung zwischen öffentlich zulässiger Kommunikation und geschützten Fachkreisinformationen.

So können Unternehmen ihre digitale Sichtbarkeit gezielt weiterentwickeln und gleichzeitig die regulatorischen Anforderungen an medizinische Kommunikation berücksichtigen.

Können auch geschützte Fachkreisinhalte (Gated Content) für GEO optimiert werden?

Ja, auch geschützte Fachkreisbereiche können hinsichtlich Informationsarchitektur, technischer Struktur und zielgruppengerechter Nutzerführung optimiert werden.

Strukturierte Daten können dabei helfen, öffentlich zugängliche und zulässige Informationen maschinenlesbar auszuzeichnen. Geschützte medizinische Inhalte bleiben weiterhin durch die bestehenden Zugangsbeschränkungen geschützt.

Ziel ist eine klare Struktur und Auffindbarkeit der jeweiligen Informationsangebote, ohne fachkreisspezifische Inhalte ungewollt öffentlich zugänglich zu machen.

Wie lässt sich die Sichtbarkeit in KI-Systemen messen?

Mit einem strukturierten AI-Visibility-Monitoring analysieren wir relevante Nutzerfragen, Marken- und Quellenpräsenz, Wettbewerbspositionierung sowie die korrekte Einordnung medizinischer Informationen in KI-Antworten.

Ergänzend betrachten wir klassische SEO-Kennzahlen wie organische Sichtbarkeit, Traffic und Nutzerverhalten. So lassen sich Entwicklungen bewerten, Optimierungspotenziale erkennen und Maßnahmen gezielt priorisieren.
