That way I don't have to think about it. All I can think about is just creating the photo, the video, and that's it. Not even the scripts or anything like that.

And it did that too. So now I have content ideas with descriptions, everything right to start me off for June and July. That's it. I'm sure you can do this for the whole year if you want. I just said June and July. And I'm gonna put all this in the shell notes below so you guys can check it out, copy it, get more ideas, spark further ideas for you.
Uh, it's fantastic. And this is how you can utilize chat g p t guys for your marketing. Just one idea. Notice how we got specific and said Instagram. Now, real quick, I wanna share one last thing, if you're still here with me. One last thing with Chad g p t. Uh, there's many things you can do with it, but I wanna show you this right here now.
I wrote how we can check out our competitors and their weaknesses. So here's the prompt you want to ask Chad, g p t. Here are the names of my top competitors in providing dental care. Now near me, I wrote the dental practices names here. Um, now you can put the competitor one. Competitor two, competitor three, right.
I put competitor one in Inland Empire, California Competitor two in Upland, California, competitor three in Upland, California. It's near us, generate an analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, and market position. And it did this. It says, certainly, here's an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, and market positions of your top competitors and providing dental care.
And it gave me the names of them. And then this says number one. Their strengths. They have high quality dental services with a focus on patient sat satisfaction. They have experience in skilled dental professionals, state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technologies, comprehensive range of dental treatments and services.
And then it gave me their weaknesses. Limited online presence and digital marketing efforts, relatively smaller patient-based compared to competitors. And then it gave me their market position. They're known for providing excellent dental care in the Inland Empire area. They have built a solid reputation among their existing patients, but may need to focus on expanding their reach and attracting new patients through effective marketing strategies.
And it provides me with the second competitor, their strengths. Well established dental practice with a long history of serving the upland community. Diverse team of dental specialists, catering to various dental needs, strong emphasis on patient education and preventative care, active engagement in local community events and sponsorships.
This means they do ground marketing. That's one of their strengths. Weaknesses, limited evening and weakened appointment availability, potentially impacting patient convenience. The next one, somewhat outdated website design and online user experiences. So just already with these two, I know I need to up my digital marketing and I need to have a great, great website and be available right when they're not.
The next one gave me their strengths, and then it gave me their weaknesses too. Limited social media presence. This is our third competitor. Limited social media presence and engagement. Relatively fewer patient testimonials and online reviews compared to competitors. And then it goes on and tells me their market position, right?
They have an opportunity to further leverage their technological, advantage and actively engage with patients through social media to strengthen their market. So it even gives you recommendations for each of these competitors. Now you can utilize this right? You can utilize this and know exactly what you need to start honing in on.
And then I said, please provide a list of marketing channels used by my top competitors. Analyze their messaging, targeting, and customer engagement strategies to identify areas of improvement and gain a competitive advantage. it did that too. It told me. Hey, their website, they're messaging, this is what they need to do.
Their marketing channels, this is their website and ground marketing. And the second practice does ground marketing. I can see that because it, that's one of the main things it told me. This is what it needs to work on. For example, the first one says website, right? It tells me their website, their local directories.
It tells me their local directories. They're listed on popular directories. They're messaging, targeting, and customer engagement. Um, their messaging focuses on promoting their high quality dental services, personalized patient care, and patient satisfaction. Targeting. They primarily target local residents in the Inland Empire area who are seeking reliable dental care customer engagement.
They could enhance their customer engagement by utilizing social media platforms actively responding to patient reviews. That means they don't, and implementing a patient referral program to enca encourage word of mouth marketing. So it even tells you, Hey, a referral program here. it continues to do that with each competitor.
Right? And then it gives me the areas of improvement. They need a better enhanced online presence. All of 'em. They need better content marketing. They need patient referral programs. They need online appointment scheduling. This means if you have online appointment scheduling, if you're, if this is one of your competitors, boom, you'd be in business Patient engagement.
They need better patient engagement. So this prompt, I wanna give you guys this prompt right here. Here are the names of my top competitors research, who your guys' top competitors are, right? Just go on to Yelp, go on to Google, type in dentist, hear me. The top three will come up and then put it in here.
Don't, you don't have to put these right here in here, but put your top competitors in there and then generate an analysis of their strengths and weaknesses and market position. Then you'll know, okay, this is what we need to start focusing on, mama. maybe ground marketing. We need to focus in a little bit more on our website.
Whatever, right? It'll tell you. It will tell you Chad g p t, and then from that point on, hone in a little bit more what marketing channels are they u utilizing more? How are they utilizing it? Where are there weaknesses that we can gain a competitive edge over? then boom, it will tell you. So guys, this is just two ways on how you can use Chad g p t to improve your practice, right?
To start the trajectory in a, in a really, really good way to utilize it as your assistant, to utilize it as your marketing person or or marketing person's assistant. Many, many ways you can use it. If you have any more questions. I'm always testing it out, always coming up with tons and tons of new prompts.
