Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI which patient record, booking or POS system a clinic should pick, and MERIDIQ comes up first. It's younger and smaller than most of the systems it competes with. This is how we got it there, starting in mid-2025.
We kept the goal tight. MERIDIQ doesn't need to be the number-one patient-record system in general. It needs to be the clear first choice for small and medium-sized clinics, and above all for the aesthetics industry. We'd rather win a narrow, high-intent category outright than pick up the odd mention in a broad one.
This built on solid ground. MERIDIQ already ranked strongly in traditional search after the SEO work we'd done together over the previous years — you can read that story in the MERIDIQ SEO case.

AIO — AI Optimization, or GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — is the work of getting AI assistants to pick you when someone asks them a question. An assistant doesn't hand back ten links. It reads a handful of sources and names one recommendation. Here are the five things we did, and what the tracking shows for each.
01
We concentrated on the queries clinics actually ask assistants — the best patient record, booking and POS (kassasystem) systems for aesthetic clinics. The tracker follows around 1,460 such prompts. MERIDIQ competes to win this specific, high-intent territory rather than everywhere at once.
02
To get named alongside bigger players, we created comparative content that places MERIDIQ directly against them — most visibly the guide “13 Bästa journalsystemen 2026.” That single comparison page is now cited 862 times in AI answers, teaching models to associate MERIDIQ with the whole category set.
03
AI answers lean on third-party corroboration, not just a brand’s own site. Across MERIDIQ’s citations, 35% come from independent Industry & Network sources — comparison guides, directories and industry pages — versus 25% owned and 23% competitor. MERIDIQ wins on the sources models treat as neutral.
04
We shaped meridiq.com around the formats AI actually cites: product pages are 49% of the sources models pull from in this category and guides another 22%. Clean, answer-first, easy-to-extract pages turned MERIDIQ’s own site into the most-cited domain in the category.
05
Integrating with established, widely-recognized platforms removes friction for clinics and ties MERIDIQ’s name to brands the models already trust — extending both trust signals and semantic reach. MERIDIQ connects to Fortnox for invoicing and accounting and Viva Wallet for card payments, alongside Swish and Klarna. The latest addition is a Stripe integration for payments and invoicing — placing MERIDIQ in the same context as one of the most-referenced names in online payments.
By the current tracking window (1 May – 21 July 2026), MERIDIQ is the most-cited brand in AI answers for its category, ahead of every established competitor.
