    Ep 368 How AI boosts or hides your brands visibility online | Rick O'Neill

    Episode 368 hosts Rick O'Neill (Digital Marketing Expert from Brighton, UK) In this episode, we welcome back Rick to unpack how AI is changing the rules of digital marketing and SEO. We discuss Google's AI-driven search, declining website traffic, and why clinics need to think beyond traditional online practices. Rick explains why authoritative, original content, strong reviews, local profiles and third-party mentions still matter when it comes to being recommended by AI. We also explore what happens when patients start using LLM's like ChatGPT or Claude for healthcare advice - and how wrong this can be. We cover the importance of multi-channel marketing, patient nurturing, 'speed-to-lead', and how AI chat and phone agents could change the way clinics convert enquiries.  00:00 Introduction 01:51 Meet Our Returning Special Guest Rick O'Neill 02:58 RISE Summit Highlights 05:00 What Changed Since Last Time 06:19 Google AI Overviews Impact 13:56 AI Accuracy And Patient Plans 17:45 Google Vs ChatGPT Usage 20:38 New Search Results Layout 24:07 How To Win In AI Search 31:39 Original Content And E-E-A-T 33:13 Reviews And Aussie Rules 34:41 Compliant Content Strategy 36:10 Mining Your Patient List 36:54 Events That Fuel Marketing 39:22 Webinars That Prequalify 41:33 AI CRM And Chat Agents 43:12 Competition And Speed To Lead 53:47 Luxury Positioning Not Commodities 57:32 Avoiding AI Content Slop 01:00:36 Three Actions To Take Today 01:03:28 Future Of Humans And Agents 01:05:54 Services, Resources And Wrap Up VISIT OUR NEW WEBSITE JOIN OUR WHATSAPP COMMUNITY DOWNLOAD OUR APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN TRY A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

    Ep 367 Are You Just a Commodity? | Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal

    Episode 367 showcases our hosts Dr Jake Sloane & David Segal. In this episode, we dive into how clinics can build a strong brand and create lasting patient loyalty in an increasingly competitive aesthetics industry. We discuss why injectors and clinics should move beyond competing on products, units and price, and instead focus on the skills, outcomes and experience that they provide. We explore the importance of defining your patient avatar, understanding your patients journey, building trust through every touchpoint, and creating education-led content rather than relying on product-focused marketing. We also share practical ways to improve the clinic experience, strengthen post-care, use automation effectively, and build a brand that feels authentic and consistent. div:has([data-free-thinking-preview-answer=true])+:is(.text-message,.relative:has(>.text-message))]:-mt-2 grow"> 00:00 Introduction 01:25 Are You A Commodity? 04:53 Brand Over Products 07:17 Skills Not Mls 10:38 Product Marketing Caveats 11:40 IA Community App Break 13:16 Lovemarks And Patient Avatar 21:54 Audit The Patient Journey 25:19 Clinic Experience Fixes 27:59 Front Desk Brand Impact 28:30 Staffing Challenges 29:16 Branding Done Right 32:15 Consultation Wins Trust 34:44 Post Care Touchpoints 37:04 Texts Over Emails 38:03 Social Media Without Products 39:41 Build Slowly, Stay Authentic 41:46 Social Media Vs Word Of Mouth 44:44 Audit Your Patient Journey 46:08 Map Workflow Automations 47:01 Steal From Great Brands 49:45 Wrap Up And Community ALL OUR LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION JOIN OUR WHATSAPP COMMUNITY DOWNLOAD OUR APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN TRY A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

    Episode 362 hosts Dr Eunice Park (Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon and founder of AIREM, USA) & Sun Lee (CEO of Vera, USA)  In this episode we do a deep dive into "K-Beauty".
