Right now, the best description of your product on the internet is one you did not write
This is the part of the conversation where agencies usually start talking about AI. We want to make a much narrower and more checkable point than that.
Search "chemotherapy scheduling software Australia"
The number one result is not your website. It is a page on intuitionlabs.ai, an automated third party software directory.
That page carries a disclaimer stating it is "not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by EpiSoft or EpiSoft Health". It runs to 752 words, and it describes you like this:
"...EpiSoft is a multi-centre, multi-tenanted Software as a Service (SaaS) solution designed for the management of patients with severe chronic illnesses, with a primary focus on oncology and chemotherapy. Developed by EpiSoft Health, an Australian eHealth company founded in 2005..."
It also points its "book a demo" link at
episofthealth.com/book-a-demo, which does not exist, and prices your free trial in US dollars.
A page you do not control is introducing you to buyers, sending them to a dead link, and getting your
currency wrong.
Now look at your own homepage
It carries under 200 words of actual product copy, with most of the page given over to a news headline list. It says "MEET EPISOFT" and that you were first to market in Australia for cloud based health solutions in 2005, but there is no single plain sentence anywhere defining EpiSoft as X software for Y people. The clearest definition of your company on your own website lives inside a meta description tag that no human visitor ever sees.
There are also more than twenty H1 headings on your homepage, and a similar number on your scheduling page, because every item in the news sidebar is marked up as a top level heading. A page should have one. On the page about scheduling, the word "scheduling" does not appear in a single heading at all. It exists only as a tab label.
An unaffiliated robot currently explains your product better than you do, and outranks you for it.
The part nobody controls: what gets recommended
You are sceptical that buyers will find you through AI assistants. That scepticism is reasonable, and we are not going to try to talk you out of it with a trend deck. So here is the narrow version of the argument, which holds whether or not AI search ever becomes significant for you.
| Where software buyers form shortlists | EpiSoft status, September 2026 |
|---|---|
| G2 | Profile exists, no rating established |
| Capterra | Profile exists, no features rated by reviewers |
| TrustRadius | "Not enough ratings and reviews to provide a score" |
| Capterra Australia, EMR directory | Not listed |
| Capterra Australia, Hospital Management | Not listed |
| Wikipedia | No entity page |
The established vendors you compete against in these directories carry review counts in the hundreds and in some cases the thousands. That gap is the reason they appear on shortlists assembled by people who have never met either of you.
These directories are where software buyers have always gone to build shortlists, long before AI existed. They are also, as it happens, the sources that AI assistants read most heavily when asked to recommend a vendor. Fixing this helps you in both worlds, which is why it is worth doing regardless of what you believe about the second one.
Two things you already have right, which is worth saying. Your product content is rendered properly in HTML rather than hidden behind JavaScript, so it can actually be read. And your robots.txt permits every major crawler including the AI ones. The foundations are sound. What is missing is machine readable product markup: there is no SoftwareApplication, Product or FAQ schema anywhere on your site, only the default Yoast SEO output. For a software company, that is the gap.
And one honest data point rather than a prediction. In the last twelve months, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot together sent you 19 sessions. That is a small number and we are not going to dress it up as a channel. We mention it only because it happened with no optimisation, no schema and nobody at EpiSoft trying. Our recommendation is to spend a small, fixed amount making your site machine readable, because it is cheap and it also improves ordinary Google performance, and then to judge it on the tracking we install in Phase 1. Not to bet on it.
