Ep. 223: The Future of Urgent Care Visibility in an AI Search World

About this Episode

This week’s episode features a clip from one of our recent webinars focused on how AI search is changing the way patients find urgent care clinics.

Search is no longer just “urgent care near me.” Patients are asking longer, more detailed questions through voice search and AI tools like ChatGPT, and those platforms are starting to control what information gets surfaced first.

In this session, Nick and Michael break down what that shift means for urgent care operators. They walk through how AI search works today, why some clinics are starting to lose visibility, and what you can do now to stay competitive as search continues to evolve.

If your clinic relies on Google for patient volume, this is a conversation you need to hear.
