GEO, AEO, AIO, SEO, LLMO, CAIO — WTH is going on with search? – Laura Hill, Senior Growth Manager at KNB Communications writes, TL;DR: Search is changing fast — and for B2B healthcare and biotech marketers, it’s getting smarter, more conversational, and a lot more complex. Traditional SEO is no longer enough in an era where AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity generate answers instead of links. The rise of generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and other AI search tactics means your visibility now depends on how AI understands your content — not just how humans search for it.

Stop Talking About Yourself: A StoryBrand Lesson for Healthcare Companies – Andrew Schrader, Content Director at Amendola writes, For over ten years I’ve helped healthcare, health tech, and life sciences companies clarify their messaging and get their customers to listen. And time after time, I’ve seen the same thing happen. Companies fall in love with their own features and benefits. It’s understandable — they’ve worked hard to build them. But here’s the problem: features and benefits aren’t a story. They don’t create stakes. And without stakes, no one cares.

Urgent Care Marketing 101 – free, online marketing eBook from Experity (@ExperityHealth)
An urgent care clinic, like any business, is only profitable if patients continue to use its services over time. Unfortunately, many urgent care facilities have a restricted marketing budget, which can severely limit new business volume and community engagement. According to Andrew Ibbotson, Vice President of the National Research Corp. in Nebraska, “Urgent care traffic is driven more by online search results, geography, wait times, and availability than traditional healthcare delivery.” These added complications make identifying the most effective marketing strategies for your walk-in clinic even more essential to success.
