Juniper Pet Clinic, Oakview
When people ask AI assistants for a vet in Oakview without using your name, they hear about you in 7 of 60 answers. Cedar Grove Veterinary comes up in 41. The gap comes mostly from hours, prices and your cat certification, which assistants cannot find on your site.

Findings
What the answers show
Two assistants say you are closed on weekends. You are open Saturdays from 9 to 1.
“Most other clinics in town, including Juniper Pet Clinic, are closed on weekends.”ChatGPT, asked “vet open on Saturday in Oakview”
Your Saturday hours appear only in a footer image, and your Yelp listing shows weekdays only. None of the 6 answers to the Saturday question named you. Fixes F1 and F2.
Your cat certification does not reach the assistants.
“Cedar Grove Veterinary offers cat-only exam rooms. You can also search the Cat Friendly clinic finder for certified practices nearby.”Claude, asked “cat friendly vet in Oakview”
You hold the certification, but your site shows it only as a logo, and the certifier lists you under an old name. None of the 6 answers named you. Fixes F3 and F5.
Price questions are answered with a competitor’s price list.
“Expect $450 to $900 including anesthesia, based on Cedar Grove Veterinary’s published prices.”Perplexity, asked “how much does a dog dental cleaning cost in Oakview”
Cedar Grove’s price page was cited in 14 of 72 answers. Your site has no prices, so assistants have nothing of yours to quote. Fix F6.
Where you are named, the answers are positive and accurate.
“Locals often recommend Cedar Grove Veterinary and Juniper Pet Clinic, which reviewers praise for unhurried appointments.”Gemini, asked “best vet in Oakview”
All 6 assistants describe you well when asked about you by name. The work is getting named before people know to ask.

Yelp was cited in 26 of 72 answers, more than any other site, and it still shows weekday hours only.
F3 Fix your name in the Cat Friendly clinic finder
The finder lists you as Juniper Animal Hospital, so assistants do not connect the certification to you.
F4 Add structured data for a vet clinic, with hours and service area
Your site has none. It gives assistants your hours, address and services in a form they read reliably.
F5 Write a page about cat visits
You are certified cat friendly, but no page says so in text. None of the 6 answers to the cat question named you.
F6 Publish price ranges for vaccines and dental cleanings
Most answers to price questions quote a competitor’s price page, which was cited in 14 answers.
F7 Ask to be considered for the Best of Oakview list
Assistants cited this list in 9 answers, and it names both clinics they recommend most.
F8 Write a new puppy guide
Puppy questions draw steady searches, but they lead to a booking less often than the questions above.

How we tested
Method
We chose 12 questions with you, using search demand data for Oakview and the words on your site. Two use your name. We asked each one of six assistants with default settings and the location set to Oakview, and recorded every answer, the businesses it named and the sources it cited. Week 0 is the starting point. Each later week repeats the questions so you can see what changes after each fix.
