In this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss the “80/20” reality of using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude for podiatry marketing: AI can help with the easy 80% (drafting blog posts, tightening writing, brainstorming headlines, translating text, outlining pages like plantar fasciitis content), but it can’t replace the hard 20% that determines results—strategy, diagnosis of what matters for a specific practice, judgment on what to ignore, accurate editing (especially in healthcare where AI can hallucinate facts), and consistent execution like managing Google Ads, posting Google Business updates, coordinating website edits, and responding to reviews.

They emphasize that AI often produces inconsistent plans, can misread human intent (e.g., podcast titles), and that experts help turn plans into outcomes. They suggest listing tasks AI can do versus tasks requiring human judgment and execution, and share contact details and a free visibility scan.
