More and more patients are skipping Google and asking AI tools like ChatGPT for advice. If someone types “Best dentist near me for veneers” into an AI and your practice doesn’t come up, you’re invisible.
What’s an LLM?
LLM stands for Large Language Model—the AI brains behind tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. They pull answers from the internet and serve them back to patients in a conversational way. If your content isn’t in their “memory,” you won’t get mentioned.
Why It Matters
LLM seeding = making your content easy for AI tools to find and cite. Clear answers to common patient questions (like “Does Invisalign hurt?”) can get your name pulled into AI-generated responses. That means more patients discover you, even before they search on Google.
