From Search to Smart: How AI Is Changing Patient Discovery

AI isn’t coming — it’s already here. From Google Gemini to ChatGPT, the way patients discover dentists online is evolving faster than most practices can keep up. In this episode, Dr. Len sits down with Adrian Lefler, CEO of My Social Practice, to unpack how AI is reshaping SEO, what “Generative Engine Optimization” really means, and how dentists can adapt before they’re left invisible online. Dr. Len Tau welcomes back long-time friend and industry expert Adrian Lefler to talk about one of the most important topics in modern dental marketing — AI-driven search. Adrian breaks down how tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are fundamentally changing how patients find dental practices online. Together, they explore how AI overviews are replacing traditional search results, why Google Business Profiles are now more critical than ever, and how dentists can optimize for AI-based search instead of relying solely on outdated SEO tactics. You’ll also hear practical, no-nonsense advice on blogging in the AI age, avoiding “word salad” content, and what questions to ask before hiring a marketing agency that claims to “do AI.” What You’ll Learn From This Episode -AI is becoming the new search engine. Google’s Gemini and AI Overviews are changing how patients find practices — links are being replaced by direct AI answers. -Your Google Business Profile matters more than ever. It’s the top data source AI models pull from, even before your website. -Reviews remain your strongest ranking signal. But they must be paired with complete categories, service areas, and accurate info. -Blogging isn’t dead — it just evolved. Authentic, voice-based stories converted by AI tools outperform generic, AI-written blogs. -Ask better questions. If a marketing company can’t explain how their SEO adapts to AI search, walk away.
