Google is phasing out the classic Q&A section on Google Business Profiles and replacing it with AI-powered "Ask" features in Google Maps, driven by Gemini. For clinic owners, chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, med spas, and other healthcare providers, this shift means patients now get instant AI-generated answers about your services, insurance, hours, accessibility, and more - pulled from your profile, reviews, website, photos, and beyond.

If your info isn't clear and consistent, the AI might say "I don't have enough information" or get it wrong - costing you leads to competitors.

In this episode of the Clinic Marketing Podcast, Darcy Sullivan from Propel Marketing and Design breaks down:

• Why the old Q&A vanished and where the new AI "Ask about this place" button is appearing (especially in Google Maps).
• Why healthcare categories (like many medical clinics) are rolling out unevenly - but the change is coming.
• Real patient questions clinics face: "Do you take my insurance?", "Same-day appointments?", "Do you treat kids/sciatica/migraines?", "Parking available?", "Wheelchair accessible?"
• A clinic-specific AI-feeding checklist: GBP basics, categories/services/attributes, strategic photos/videos, review prompts for detailed language, website FAQs, social posts, and more.
• 7-day action plan to audit and optimize your Google Business Profile + website this week.
• How to monitor AI answers and avoid misinformation risks.

Even if the feature hasn't hit your listing yet, building an "AI-ready" info ecosystem is one
