The shift

People used to ask Google: “best dentist near me”
Now they can ask: “Who is the best dentist near me?”
Traditional search gives people a list of links. AI assistants increasingly give people a curated answer. If your business isn’t being mentioned, your competitors may be getting the recommendation instead.
