The AI tools you can use

Important: AI is an assistant, not autopilot. Keep claims conservative, avoid PHI, and always give your content a human polish before publishing.
AI Hack #1: Refresh your business description (2–3 minutes)
GBP gives you ~750 characters in the business description. Most clinics don’t use it fully, which is wasted real estate.
Prompt (copy/paste & fill in): “Rewrite our Google Business Profile description for a [clinic type] in [city/area]. We help [ideal patients] with [top 3–5 conditions/services]. Tone: friendly, trustworthy, plain English. Keep it to ~700–750 characters. No guarantees; HIPAA-safe.”
Pro tip: Paste a paragraph from your website so the AI matches your style and terminology.

AI Hack #2: Tighten your services list (5–10 minutes to set up)
Under your primary/secondary categories, make sure each service has a short, patient-friendly description that mirrors how people search.
Prompt (from scratch): “Create 2–3 sentence service descriptions for [list services] at [clinic name] in [city]. Use patient-friendly language, avoid jargon, no guarantees, HIPAA-safe. Include one related service to cross-promote.”
Prompt (condense website copy): “Condense this service section to 2–3 plain-English sentences for our GBP Services. Keep the key benefit and who it’s for. No guarantees; HIPAA-safe. [paste service paragraph]”

AI Hack #3: Seed your Q&A with real patient questions (5–8 minutes)
You can ask and answer questions as the business.
Use the Q&A to reduce unnecessary calls and build trust.
Prompt: “Based on these FAQs [paste your FAQs or list top questions], write 6–8 Google Business Profile Q&As for a [clinic type] in [city]. Questions should match how patients ask them. Answers are 2–4 sentences, plain English, HIPAA-safe, no guarantees.”
Must-include Q&As:
- Parking/entrance details (landmarks, elevator access, where to park)
- First-visit expectations (forms, what to bring, appointment length)
- Insurance/payment basics (what you accept, how verification works)

AI Hack #4: Build a review-reply library (6–10 minutes)
Skim recent reviews and group by theme: back pain relief, prenatal care, sports injuries, cupping, spinal decompression, etc. Generate ready-to-use replies, save them in a shared Google Doc, and personalize the opening line for each review.
Prompt: “We are a [clinic type] in [city]. We commonly receive reviews about [themes]. Provide 20 short, warm, professional review reply templates that mirror the reviewer’s language without confirming treatment details. HIPAA-safe.”

AI Hack #5: Spin up weekly Google Posts in minutes (3–5 minutes per post)
Stay active with one post per week: quick tip, service spotlight, seasonal reminder, event/offer, or mini-FAQ. (Avoid PHI and guarantees.)
Prompt (topic ➜ post): “Write a Google Business Profile post about [service/topic] for [ideal patient] in [city]. Include one practical tip, one plain-English benefit, and a soft CTA to [call/book/directions]. No emojis, no hype, HIPAA-safe.”
Bonus prompt (from your blog): “Summarize this blog paragraph into a GBP post with one tip, one benefit, and a soft CTA to [call/book/directions]. [paste paragraph]”
