What if your clinic disappeared from search overnight – not because of Google, but because of AI?
In this episode of the Health and Wellness Marketing Show, Uli Iserloh breaks down one of the biggest shifts in online search: patients are bypassing Google and going straight to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI tools for answers about their health.
Unlike traditional search engines, these platforms don’t serve up a list of links – they deliver curated answers. If that answer doesn’t come from your website, your practice is pretty much invisible on AI search.
Uli explains why this is the “SEO of 2001” moment all over again – an open playing field where health practitioners who act
now can dominate AI search results. He shares actionable steps you can take to position your practice as the trusted authority these AI engines quote, link to, and recommend.
