This is separate from ad performance or website traffic — it measures your authority in AI answer engines.","question":"How is AI search visibility different from traditional SEO for psychology practices?"},{"answer":"Initial optimizations can begin appearing in AI responses within weeks, but meaningful citation growth and lead generation typically build over 2-3 months as AI systems recognize and trust your practice’s authority.
