For physicians
Be the doctor patients find when they search for one they can trust.
DoctorDirectory.ai is a doctor search engine built to rank on Google, marketed every day, and open only to vetted clinicians. No patient reviews. No star ratings. No pay-to-rank.
Claiming and vetting are free and cannot be bought. Plans start at $50 a month.
Founding member pricing locks in for anyone who joins before December 30, 2026.
How we rank right now
We’ve been live on Google for less than seven weeks. More than 2,000 of our pages are already on the first page.
That is DocFluence at work: the AI marketing system behind DoctorDirectory.ai, which learns from what ranks and keeps improving every week. List with us and your profile runs on the same engine.

of the time, Featured physicians show first on every DoctorDirectory.ai page they match
Google Search Console for doctordirectory.ai, October 8 to November 5, 2026 (the last two or three days are still filling in); the site's first Google impressions were on September 21, 2026. Page one means an average position of 10 or better. DoctorDirectory.ai database and listing policy. Google decides its own rankings, so no one can promise a position.
How we are beating the system
The review sites had a twenty-year head start. We built something they cannot copy.
Built for Google from day one
Every profile is its own fast page with structured data for your name, specialty and city, listed in our sitemaps so Google finds it. More than 1.5 million pages are already published.
An AI marketing engine that keeps learning
DocFluence, the AI marketing system behind DoctorDirectory.ai, publishes articles, podcast episodes and social posts every week, watches what ranks, and adjusts. It is built to outrank the big directories, and Featured physicians are the ones it puts first.
The trust signals Google looks for
Google holds health pages to a higher standard of expertise and trust. Verified licenses, board certification and public record checks are exactly that kind of signal.
No reviews to game
Review sites reward whoever collects the most stars. We show credentials instead, so a bad day or a fake review never pushes you down.
Where we are headed
Our goal is to become the first place patients look for a doctor they can trust. Every profile we vet, every article we publish and every episode we release moves us closer, and the physicians listed now are the ones patients will meet first.

Get our guide: Search Engine Optimization for Doctors in 2027
A practical, 13-page playbook for getting found on Google by the patients you want, with charts and real search numbers. We will also send our two evidence guides:
- Search Engine Optimization for Doctors in 2027, for physicians
- Spotting Evidence-Based Care in the Misinformation Era, for physicians
- How to Spot an Evidence-Based Doctor Online, to share with patients
Why now
Patients are searching. And they are worried about who to believe.
Health advice has become a marketplace. Anti-vaccine messaging, peptide sellers, supplement pitches and shifting federal guidance have left many patients unsure who to believe. In 2026, 68% of adults said federal health recommendations were too influenced by leaders’ personal beliefs. Most patients still trust their own doctor. What they want is a way to find one who is licensed, board certified, follows the guidelines and is not selling anything.

The opening for you
Patients do not need more star ratings. They need proof. A DoctorDirectory.ai listing tells them you were checked against the license registry, every state medical board, court and FTC records, and your own public posts, and that you passed. That is the doctor they are searching for.
Why clinicians join
A listing that proves how you practice. Not a review page.
No patient reviews. Ever.
Anonymous ratings can be manipulated and used to damage reputations. We never show them. Your listing is a credential, not a comment thread.
Only vetted peers.
Every clinician is checked against the license registry, every state medical board, court and FTC records, and their own public posts before going live. Being here says something.
Patients are already searching.
We track real search demand by city and specialty and show you what patients near you are looking for.
Built for search engines.
Your own indexable profile page with medical schema markup, plus a certified badge for your own site. It links back to your profile, and your profile links back to you.
You help keep this going.
Verifying licenses, screening every listing and keeping it all current costs real money. Your subscription funds that work, so it is also a way to back science and evidence-based care online.
Simple pricing
Two plans. Cancel any time.
If you cancel, you keep a Free Listing: your profile stays in search and on Google, shown below the paid clinicians.

Featured listing

- Requests sent straight to your office: up to three addresses, like your office manager, plus a spreadsheet download of every request
- Your Google rankings every week and a Monday email report, plus instant alerts when a request arrives

- Office photos and an intro video on your profile, plus a headshot touch-up from our team
Included with Featured
Your own podcast episode and article
Patients search for you in more places than Google. Featured physicians get a DoctorDirectory.ai podcast episode and a companion article about them: your background and training, what you treat and why, and every check you passed in our vetting. Both link straight to your profile, so a patient who searches your name finds more of you.
On the podcast
The DoctorDirectory.ai Podcast, on Apple Podcasts and in podcast apps.
On the blog
A search-optimized article with your name, specialty and city, marked up for Google.
Yours to share
Post both on your website and social media. Patients hear your story before they call.
Spotlights are labeled as part of the Featured plan. They are written from your vetting results and your own words, and they never change how we vet you or who is listed.
Launch pricing
Rates are low because we are new. They go up.
Standard is $50 a month and Featured is $200 a month during launch, through December 30, 2026. Clinicians who join now keep their price for as long as they stay listed. Featured spots are capped per city and specialty, and when a city's spots are taken, new applicants wait for one to open.
Your card is saved when you apply and charged only when you are approved. We spend up to three business days checking your license, board certification, state medical board records, court and FTC records, and your website and public posts before your listing goes live. Featured placement is always labeled, rotates evenly when more than five match a page, and never changes the order of regular results.
What you get
Every paid listing gets the full write-up.
We research your practice from your own public pages and professional records and write a plain-language page about you, with a source link beside every claim. It is yours to edit in your own words from your dashboard.
A written profile, not a form.
Where you trained, what you focus on, the guidelines you work from, and the research or teaching you do.
A source link on every line.
Your hospital page, your faculty page, your publications. Patients can check each one.
Your industry payments, in the open.
Your CMS Open Payments record, shown plainly. Most clinicians have one, and showing it builds more trust than hiding it.
Your photo and your links.
A headshot, your website, and your professional accounts, all on the page.
You can rewrite it.
Edit the write-up from your dashboard any time. When you do, the page says you wrote it.

These are live listings. Yours is written the same way.
How we vet
A vetting process with teeth. Every applicant goes through every check, before going live and again after.
License verified live
Checked against the national NPI registry: name match, active status and an eligible specialty. International clinicians send their license and issuing body.
Board certification confirmed
We confirm the certifications you list before they appear on your profile.
Every state medical board searched
We look for suspensions, revocations, probation, surrendered licenses and any discipline, in every state, not just yours.
Court, FTC and public records
Criminal charges, fraud cases, FTC actions, and cease-and-desist or warning letters for false advertising.
Hospital privileges
Privileges that were withdrawn, surrendered or denied.
Your website and public posts
We read your practice website, social accounts and public statements for anti-vaccine messaging, anti-guideline claims, peptides, compounded drugs and supplements sold as treatment. AI-assisted research covers the wider web.
A physician makes the final call
Our medical team reviews every finding. No listing goes live, and no listing is declined, on software alone.
Checked again, not once
Listed clinicians are rescreened on a schedule, websites are rechecked monthly, a random sample is audited every month, and anyone can report a profile.
Applicants also sign a short statement that they follow the current society guidelines for the conditions they list. We check it against everything above; on its own, it proves nothing.

- Practicing or advertising as a naturopath, homeopath, or functional medicine practitioner.

- Offering PRP, stem cell, or exosome injections.
If your website sells peptides, supplements, or compounded products
If your website or public pages show peptides, supplements sold as treatment, or compounded medications, you must confirm you do not offer them and remove them before you can be listed. We re-check every listed clinician's website every month. If any of it comes back, the account is deactivated and delisted without a refund.
- Confirm in writing that you do not offer peptides, supplements as treatment, or compounded medications.
- Remove every mention, product, and order link from your website and public pages.
- Tell us it is done. We re-screen the same pages before making a decision.
