Med Spa & Aesthetics: AI Visibility Ranking

Practice and business management software for medical spas and aesthetics clinics covering booking, charting, and payments. Right now, Aesthetic Record is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 58 and the #1 spot in 38% of answers. Head-to-head: Aesthetic Record vs Boulevard →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Two points separate the top two, with nobody pulling away.

Boulevard and Aesthetic Record are effectively tied at the top, separated by 1.5 index points despite meaningfully different strengths: Boulevard dominates Gemini at 69 while Aesthetic Record leads on first-pick rate at 38%, suggesting buyers encounter different brands as the top recommendation depending on which AI they use. Zenoti sits one point below Aesthetic Record on score but almost never wins the opening slot, landing first just 4% of the time across 72 answers. Below those three, Vagaro and PatientNow trail sharply, and PatientNow never placed first in any answer recorded.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Fresha (4.6), GlossGenius (4.6), Symplast (3.9), Square Appointments (3.8), Phorest (2.9). 67 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 42/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
