TSD: S1 | E6 - Is SEO Dead Because of AI? The Real Answer (and What to Do Next)

Courtney Vickery — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 01:02:34 -0500

Guest

Michelle Bourbonniere, PhD — SEO strategist, researcher, and founder of Words on the Rise
Freebie: Cheat Sheet to Showing Up Well in AI Answers → words on the rise.com/ai

What we cover

Is SEO dead because of AI? What’s still true, and what’s changing
The big shift: AI tools now have access to live search results (and why that matters for small businesses)
How Google’s AI can personalize results based on what you’ve read vs. haven’t read (helpful… and creepy)
Why AI Overviews and AI Mode are rewriting your message — and how that affects trust + conversions
The difference between using AI for generating (emails, scripts) vs searching (recommendations, providers)
Why being “a dietitian” isn’t enough: how AI personalization can reward specific audiences + specialties
Off-page SEO is evolving: brand mentions can matter more than backlinks in AI search
Reddit: how to show up without being salesy (and why etiquette + credibility matter)
Michelle’s “3 R’s” framework for AI visibility:
- Recognition (does AI understand your brand?)
- Reputation (what does AI say when someone searches your name + reviews?)
- Results (do you appear when someone searches for a provider like you?)
A practical starting point: test your visibility in an incognito window
The “wait, WHAT?” moment: AI pulling info from your terms & conditions because it’s the clearest writing
Are blog posts still worth it? When they do make sense, and when they’re not the best use of time
Recipe blogs and indexing reality: why Google may ignore “one more chocolate chip cookie recipe”

Action steps mentioned

Open an incognito browser window and test prompts your ideal clients would ask
Check whether AI gets your business basics right (services, specialties, location/licensure)
Make your most important info clear + concise on the pages you actually want AI to cite
Build consistent brand mentions across platforms (podcasts, bios, socials, community spaces)

TSD: S1 | E5 - “I Keep Forgetting to Follow Up.” Let’s Build a System for That

Courtney Vickery — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 03:00:00 -0500

[00:00] Introduction

Why follow-ups matter: It's not just lost income, it's broken trust
The reality of running a practice: sessions, sick kids, and things filed under "later"

[02:00] Common Follow-Up Moments That Get Forgotten

Potential client inquiries
Discovery calls that went quiet
Clients who ghosted mid-package (yes, even prepaid ones!)
Unanswered portal messages
People who downloaded freebies but never heard from you again
These are relationship moments, not just admin tasks

[04:00] Gmail & Google Workspace Solutions

Using labels and folders (Courtney's an inbox zero + folder person!)
Smart inboxes in Apple Mail desktop app
Courtney's favorite folders:
- Meetings folder (automatically sorts all meeting invites)
- To-Do (using orange flag + orange heart emoji)
- Waiting on Reply (purple flag + purple heart emoji)
Pro tip: Use emoji to remember which flag color = which folder

[07:00] MailButler Game-Changer

Creates tasks directly from emails
Integrates with Apple Reminders
Why Courtney switched from big project management tools to Apple Reminders for small tasks
"It's the little things that slip through the cracks and cause the most risk"

[09:00] Practice Better Tips

Use tags to flag clients who haven't booked their second session
Create tasks within Practice Better
Filter clients who don't have recent bookings

[10:00] The Natural Flow Question

Just like habits with clients: if it doesn't come naturally, you won't use it
Look at what you ALREADY use (email, calendar) and build on that
Google Tasks is right there in Google Calendar—use what's in your face
Don't create a Google Sheet tracker if you never open Google Sheets

[12:00] What to Actually Say in Follow-Ups

Don't overthink it—keep it short and warm
For inquiries: "Hey, I just wanted to follow up in case my last message got buried. I'm still happy to chat if you're interested."
For ghosted clients: "I've been thinking about you and wanted to check in. There's no pressure, but I'm here if you're ready to reconnect."
For missed questions: "Apologies for the delay. I missed your message earlier, but I wanted to circle back."
Remember: We're connecting, not selling

[14:00] The Power of Email Templates

Save brain power by having templates ready
Reference to previous episode on email templates
These feel-good follow-ups are perfect template candidates

[15:00] Action Items Choose 2 of the following:

Create a "Waiting For" label/folder in Gmail and assign to 3 emails NOW
Calendar block: "Follow-Up Friday" (30 minutes weekly to sweep missed replies)
Add a "Follow-Up Needed" custom field in Practice Better
Create a follow-up tracking board (Notion/ClickUp/SmartSuite)
Try MailButler (or similar email management extension)

[17:00] Courtney's Current Setup

Apple Mail (never bothered before, but now loves it)
MailButler extension
Busy Cal coordination
SmartSuite for big project boards
"You won't know what works for you until you try something"

[18:00] Final Thoughts

Pick the EASIEST action item—we're not trying to be fancy
Following up doesn't make you pushy, it makes you reliable
Stop leaving money, trust, and client progress on the table

TSD: S1 | E2 - Create an Inquiry Form That Protects Your Time, Energy, and Values

Courtney Vickery — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 02:30:37 -0400

Episode 2 — Create an Inquiry Form That Protects Your Time, Energy, and Values

Welcome back to The Tech-Savvy Dietitian Podcast, where we believe your systems should support your practice — not sabotage your sanity. I’m your host, Courtney Vickery, a registered dietitian turned web designer and tech translator for private practice owners who are tired of playing calendar Tetris and inbox detective.

💡 What You’ll Learn

If you’re a non-diet, weight-inclusive provider who’s feeling drained by endless admin tasks and unaligned inquiries, this episode will show you how to set up an inquiry or waitlist form that helps filter in the right clients — with empathy and clarity.

You’ll learn how to:

Use conditional logic to create filtering questions
Write inquiry forms that align with your non-diet, weight-inclusive values
Automate your pre-screening process with tools like Practice Better or Google Forms
Avoid collecting unnecessary PHI (protected health information)
Set up kind, clear automated replies that educate and connect with curiosity

🧠 Key Takeaways

Filtering isn’t cold — it’s kind. You’re protecting your time and your potential client’s energy.
Clarity prevents burnout. When your form communicates your approach upfront, you spend less time manually vetting.
Automation = boundaries. Tools like Practice Better or Google Forms with conditional logic can save hours of admin work.
Neutral language matters. You can gently introduce non-diet principles without alienating those still early in their journey.

⚙️ Quick Wins You Can Do Today

Add a filtering question to your current inquiry form
Write a template email that explains your approach once (and reuse it)
Audit your form for conditional logic options
Add a checkbox like: “I understand that this practice does not provide weight loss counseling as a primary service.”

🛠 Tools Mentioned

Practice Better – for HIPAA-compliant forms and automations
Google Forms + Google Sheets – for basic workflows
Zapier – for connecting tools
Clinician Crew – for prebuilt templates and peer support
