Key Takeaways
- LiveHealth Online appears in a modest share of benchmark answers and is usually framed positively or neutrally.
- Recommendations exist, but the brand rarely reaches first place or the top group of answers.
- No conflicting claims were recorded in the captured answers, so the fact-check queue starts empty.
- The home page and pricing page are the main website priorities, alongside buyer questions such as 24/7 online doctor and telehealth app.
Answer Capsule
In November 2026, LiveHealth Online appeared in 40 of 399 AI answers included in the Online Doctors benchmark (10.03%). It received 20 recommendations (5.01%), with 8 Top 3 placements and 0 first-place recommendations. A mention means the company appeared in an answer; a recommendation means the answer affirmatively endorsed it.
Our plan compares the company with its competitors, checks conflicting AI claims against reliable sources, and identifies website pages, third-party sources and buyer questions to address. The historical results show how the figures changed across available months. Different monthly samples limit those comparisons, and conflicting AI claims require verification before corrections are proposed.
Current AI visibility
Questions This Section Answers

LiveHealth Online recorded 40 mentions (10.03%) and 20 recommendations (5.01%) across 399 answers included in the benchmark. Top 3 placements numbered 8; first-place recommendations numbered 0. Framing among its mentions was 20 positive, 20 neutral and 0 negative.
Rank | Company | Mentions | Mention rate | Recommendations | Recommendation rate | Top 3 | Top 3 rate | #1 | #1 rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Teladoc Health | 346 | 86.72% | 246 | 61.65% | 224 | 56.14% | 160 | 40.10% |
2 | Sesame | 241 | 60.40% | 198 | 49.62% | 115 | 28.82% | 46 | 11.53% |

9 | 24 | 6.02% | 12 | 3.01% | 6 | 1.50% | 3 | 0.75% | |
10 | 9 | 2.26% | 6 | 1.50% | 1 | 0.25% | 0 | 0.00% |
LiveHealth Online appears in a modest share of the benchmark answers, but when it does appear it is usually treated favourably or neutrally, and a meaningful portion of those mentions carry an actual recommendation. That is a useful base: the brand is not being argued against, and it is being put forward as a credible option rather than merely listed.
The gap sits in position. Recommendations exist, yet almost none of them place the company first, and only a small number reach the leading group of answers. For a business reader, that means the brand is in the conversation but rarely the answer a buyer sees at the top. The agency would treat reach and position as separate goals, protecting the favourable framing while working on the cases where a recommendation stops short of a leading placement.
What changed since last month
Questions This Section Answers
- How did LiveHealth Online counts and coverage differ across the available monthly snapshots?
Metric | Oct 2026 | Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|
Mentions | 47 / 565 (8.32%) | 40 / 399 (10.03%) |
Recommendations | 31 / 565 (5.49%) | 20 / 399 (5.01%) |
Top 3 recommendations | 22 / 565 (3.89%) | 8 / 399 (2.01%) |
#1 recommendations | 2 / 565 (0.35%) | 0 / 399 (0.00%) |
Only months with verified results are shown. Monthly sample coverage is listed in Methodology.
From October 2026 to November 2026, LiveHealth Online's mention count fell from 47 to 40, while its recommendation count fell from 31 to 20. The recommendation rate was 5.49% and 5.01% respectively.
Between the two recorded months, both the mention count and the recommendation count moved down, and the recommendation rate eased slightly. The leading-position count also fell, reaching zero in the later sample. These are the observed movements in the recorded results.
The two months rest on different answer samples, so the comparison describes what was recorded rather than a like-for-like trend. A smaller answer total does not by itself explain the movement in counts or rates, and the report does not claim it does. The agency would read the two months as separate snapshots and look for the pattern across more months before drawing a conclusion about direction.

Step 1. Measure
Questions This Section Answers
- What should the agency measure and verify first for LiveHealth Online?
AI answers contained 0 conflicting claims about LiveHealth Online: 0 critical, 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low. Of these, 0 were rated critical or high priority; the critical claims are included in that total. These ratings help prioritize fact-checking. They do not establish that a company or publisher made an error.
No conflicting claims about LiveHealth Online were recorded in the captured answers, so there is nothing in the fact-check queue to prioritise. That is a clean starting position, but it is also thin evidence: the absence of disputes does not confirm that every statement about the company is accurate.
The useful first step is a visibility comparison that sets the brand's reach and position against the leading competitors, so the client can see where attention is best spent. Alongside it, the agency would build a short list of claims worth checking against primary sources, each with an owner and a clear evidence requirement, so any later correction rests on verified facts rather than on an AI answer alone.
Step 2. Make the website consistent
Questions This Section Answers
- Which recorded claim differences about LiveHealth Online should be verified before proposed page edits?
No results are available for this part of the analysis.
Both columns quote AI answers, not verified company facts. Resolve the entity, date and source before deciding whether a correction is warranted; different dates can explain an apparent conflict.
This part of the analysis returned no results, so there are no disputed topics to work through and no page briefs to propose on that basis. The agency would not manufacture a consistency issue where none was recorded.
Where claims do surface in future, the approach is to confirm the entity, the date and the source before deciding whether anything needs correcting. Different dates can make two statements look contradictory when they are not. Any proposed page change would follow current primary-source verification, and ambiguous company matches would stay out of the correction queue until the entity is clear.
Step 3. Align the external narrative
Questions This Section Answers
- Which cited third-party pages are relevant to fact review for LiveHealth Online?
Cited page selected for review | Citation appearances in all captured answers | Answers mentioning the company | Conflicting claims linked to this page |
|---|---|---|---|
https://telehealth.com/online-doctor/ | 76 | 5 | 0 |
https://sesamecare.com/complaint/online-urgent-care | 25 | 2 | 0 |
https://teledirectmd.com/cost/online-doctor-visit-cost/ | 11 | 2 | 0 |
https://goodrx.com/healthcare-access/telehealth/get-prescription-online | 15 | 1 | 0 |
https://balladhealth.org/telehealth/online-quick-care | 7 | 1 | 0 |
https://onlinedoctor.com/15-best-online-medical-apps-that-make-personal-health-easier/ | 5 | 1 | 0 |
These pages were selected because they relate to the company in the captured answers. Their current contents still need checking before any correction request. A page linked to a conflicting claim is not necessarily its cause, and the same answer may contribute to more than one row.
The cited pages selected for review are third-party health and cost resources that touch on online doctor services. Several were cited many times across the captured answers, yet only a handful of those answers mention LiveHealth Online, and none of the selected pages is linked to a conflicting claim about the company.
That makes these pages worth reading rather than correcting. The agency would review their current contents, confirm how the company is described, and only then consider a factual request where something is genuinely wrong. A citation does not show that a page shaped an answer, and a page appearing in an answer is not evidence of publisher error. Requests would be evidence-backed and framed as clarifications, with responses logged separately from confirmed edits.
Step 4. Optimize priority company pages
Questions This Section Answers
- Which observed LiveHealth Online website pages should receive review briefs?
Company website page | Citation appearances in all captured answers | Benchmark answers citing the page | Recommending answers citing the page |
|---|---|---|---|
https://livehealthonline.com/ | 27 | 22 | 15 |
https://livehealthonline.com/pricing/ | 2 | 2 | 0 |
https://livehealthonline.com/terms/ | 2 | 0 | 0 |
https://livehealthonline.com/blog/categories/psychology/therapist-spotlights-learn-more-about-therapists/ | 1 | 0 | 0 |
https://livehealthonline.com/privacy-policy/ | 1 | 0 | 0 |
https://livehealthonline.com/questions/ | 1 | 0 | 0 |
https://livehealthonline.com/virtualprimarycare/ | 1 | 0 | 0 |
The company's website was cited 35 times across 7 distinct page addresses; the table shows 7 pages selected for review. Zeros in the answer columns mean no matching answers were recorded. A cited page is not automatically a page that accompanied a recommendation.
The company's own site is the most-cited source in this set, and the home page accounts for most of that activity, including answers that recommend the company. The remaining selected pages were cited far less, and several drew no recommending answers at all. A cited page is not automatically a page that accompanied a recommendation.
The agency would prepare page briefs for the priority pages using approved company facts and the questions buyers actually ask, starting with the home page and the pricing page. Each brief would state what the page should make clear and which approved facts support it. Existing coverage would be checked before any new page is proposed, and no page would be rewritten on the strength of a citation count alone.
Step 5. Publish around buyer questions
Questions This Section Answers
- Which observed buyer questions support content briefs for LiveHealth Online?
Question observed in the research | Benchmark answers to this question | Company mentions | Company recommendations |
|---|---|---|---|
telehealth app | 2 | 2 | 2 |
24 7 online doctor | 1 | 1 | 1 |
24 hour doctor online | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Is there a free way to talk to a doctor online? | 1 | 1 | 1 |
ask a doctor a question online | 1 | 1 | 1 |
best virtual doctor app | 1 | 1 | 1 |
doctor on line | 1 | 1 | 1 |
doctor questions online | 1 | 1 | 1 |
These are recorded answer observations, not search volume, verified demand, or proof of missing website content.
The recorded questions are practical and close to the point of choosing: how to reach a doctor around the clock, whether there is a free way to talk to one, and which virtual doctor service to use. LiveHealth Online was mentioned and recommended in the answers to each of these questions, which suggests the brand already fits the shape of what buyers ask.
These are answer observations, not search volume or proof of missing content. The agency would turn them into buyer-question briefs, checking first whether the site already answers each one well. Where coverage is thin, a brief would set out the question, the approved facts to include and the page that should carry the answer, so new content is grounded rather than guessed.
Our 90-day action plan
Questions This Section Answers
- How should the agency sequence the proposed LiveHealth Online work and judge completion?
Period | Deliverable | Completion criterion |
|---|---|---|
Days 1–30 | Baseline scorecard, scoped fact-review register and page/source shortlist | Each record has an owner, evidence requirement and review status |
Days 31–60 | Approved page briefs and justified publisher requests | Separate confirmed edits, no-change decisions, requests and responses |
Days 61–90 | Buyer-content briefs and a fresh scorecard | Record work completed separately from measured answer outcomes and comparability limits |
The first month establishes the baseline: a scorecard, a scoped list of claims to review and a shortlist of pages and sources, each with an owner, an evidence requirement and a review status. Nothing is changed in this period; the aim is a clear, auditable starting point.
The second month turns confirmed findings into approved page briefs and justified publisher requests, with confirmed edits, no-change decisions, requests and responses recorded separately. The third month adds buyer-content briefs and a fresh scorecard. Delivered work is reported as work completed, kept apart from measured answer outcomes, and no gain is claimed until later measurement supports it.
Methodology
Questions This Section Answers
- How are LiveHealth Online answer metrics and citation populations defined?
This report covers 2026-11. The exact dates when the original AI answers were collected have not been verified. The visibility rates use 399 answers that met the benchmark's inclusion rules. A company is recommended only when the answer both endorses it and uses positive wording. Top 3 and first-place counts are part of those recommendations, not extra recommendations.
An answer can mention or recommend several companies, so company counts cannot be added to find the number of distinct answers. The net sentiment score is positive minus negative mentions, divided by all company mentions; it describes answer wording, not customer satisfaction.
The wider citation analysis covers 800 captured answers and 5497 appearances of cited URLs. Citation appearances across all captured answers differ from the number of benchmark answers citing a page and the number that also recommend a company. The current contents of cited pages and disputed company claims still need independent verification.
Monthly sample coverage:
Reporting month | Answers included | AI services covered | Services |
|---|---|---|---|
Oct 2026 | 565 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Nov 2026 | 399 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
July 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison. August 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison. September 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison.
The answer samples differ between months. These comparisons show how the recorded results changed; they do not establish why they changed.
The benchmark covers a single reporting month, and the exact dates the original answers were collected have not been verified. Visibility rates rest on the answers that met the inclusion rules, and a company counts as recommended only when an answer both endorses it and uses positive wording. Leading and near-leading placements sit inside those recommendations rather than adding to them.
An answer can mention several companies, so company counts cannot be summed to find distinct answers. The wider citation review covers a larger set of captured answers than the benchmark, and cited pages still need independent checking. The monthly samples differ, so comparisons show what was recorded, not why it changed.
Our first three priorities
The first priority is a visibility comparison that separates reach from position, so the client can see that the brand is recommended reasonably often but rarely leads. The second is a page brief for the home page and pricing page, built on approved facts and the buyer questions already observed, with existing coverage checked before anything new is drafted.
The third is a careful read of the selected third-party pages, followed by evidence-backed requests only where current contents are genuinely wrong. Fact-checking stays light while no conflicting claims are recorded, but the register should be ready. Together these give the client a defensible base for later measurement without promising a visibility gain.
