Get Found by Patients and AI: The New Rules of Dental Visibility

Your next patient may not find your dental practice through a traditional Google search. They may ask AI who the best dentist is, and what AI says about your practice will depend on the digital story you're building right now.

In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, Dr. Len Tau welcomes back Rita Zamora, founder of Connect90 and author of Get Found, Get Liked, Get Patients, to discuss how AI is changing the way patients discover, evaluate, and choose dental practices. Rita explains why your website, reviews, social media, online listings, and other digital assets can no longer be treated separately. Together, they form an online ecosystem that helps both patients and AI determine whether your practice is credible, relevant, and worth recommending.

Rita and Dr. Len also break down the growing importance of review consistency, strategic social media content, online scheduling, and authentic photos and videos. They discuss why practices need to be intentional about what they want to be known for online, how AI is interpreting digital signals across multiple platforms, and why generic or heavily AI-generated content may actually work against your practice. If you want your practice to stay visible as AI-assisted search becomes part of the patient journey, this episode gives you practical steps to start preparing now.
