FAQ
How do AI assistants choose which dentists to recommend?
They combine business listings (Google Business Profile, Healthgrades, Zocdoc, Yelp), review text, your website's service pages and third-party mentions. Clear, consistent, specific information wins.
What's the biggest mistake dentists make?
No list of accepted insurance on the site — AI assistants frequently filter recommendations by insurance.
When do AI questions about dentists peak?
Demand jumps in January (new benefits) and November–December (use-it-or-lose-it benefits).
Is SEO still worth it for dentists?
Yes, for now. But search is moving toward AI answers, and the same fundamentals (accurate listings, specific pages, real reviews) increasingly decide whether AI names you. Optimize for both and track AI mentions directly.
