Patients aren’t shopping the way they used to. They research across dozens of sources, trust what feels familiar, and increasingly lean on AI to recommend a short list. We sat down with Charles Gaudet of Predictable Profits to unpack how chiropractors and clinic owners can move from word of mouth and guesswork to a clear system that creates, captures, and nurtures demand—so you become the obvious choice in your market.
We start with the mindset shift from clinician to CEO and why vague “we treat everything” messaging dilutes results. Charles shares simple positioning moves that make your site feel like a mirror to a patient’s problem, plus the human touches—short iPhone videos, walkthroughs of a first visit, and team spotlights—that lower fear and raise trust. From there, we break down a practical playbook: build an answer-rich website, install retargeting for affordable familiarity, and run an active review engine that turns happy patients into social proof at scale. You’ll hear real examples of clinics dominating locally by becoming the most reviewed, and why this alone changes conversion before you spend big on ads.
Then we look ahead. AI is compressing the buyer’s journey and rewarding practices that speak clearly about who they help and how. Charles explains AEO—optimization for AI—and gives copy‑and‑paste prompts to audit your site across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. We talk rep‑free experiences, transparent pricing ranges, insurance visibility, and condition‑specific pages that answer questions without a phone call. Finally, we round it out with resilient growth: partnerships with gyms, OB offices, and community hubs that diversify discovery beyond algorithms.
If you want your clinic to be the one AI recommends—and the one patients feel good choosing—this conversation lays out the steps. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a smarter growth plan, and leave a review to tell us which tactic you’ll implement first.
