Google is constantly rolling out new features<\/a> to try to make web searches as user-friendly as possible. In order to ensure that your veterinary hospital is making the most of these new features, it is important that you understand what they are and how they work. This guide will take you through the basics of Google\u2019s new AI pricing feature so you can make it work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Is AI Pricing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When searching for local businesses<\/a>, some internet users are now seeing a button below their search results that says \u201cHave AI Get Pricing.\u201d When clicked, users can ask for a quote on a particular service, like the cost for a cat exam, and AI will call 5-10 local businesses to get a price quote comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Business Owners Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This new feature is different from price comparisons of the past, and it\u2019s important that you understand what to look for so you don\u2019t miss out on an opportunity for new clients. Once someone requests a price check, the AI will call your practice. In a robotic voice, you will hear \u201cHi, I\u2019m calling from Google to check pricing for a client,\u201d which can sound like spam or telemarketing if you\u2019ve never heard it before. Rest assured, this is a very real call, and it could get you new clients with minimal effort on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very important to answer to the best of your ability. If you hang up, or say “we can’t give prices over the phone,” your hospital will be marked with “Pricing Unavailable,\u201d <\/strong>and the client will most likely book with someone else who provided the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does AI Get the Pricing Right?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before making the call, Google’s AI pricing tool will ask<\/a> the pet owner a series of questions to understand their needs. Pet owners can choose between services like \u201cAnimal Health\u201d or \u201cAnimal Dental,\u201d and then provide more specifics like the animal\u2019s breed, age, and weight. It will also ask for a timeline of when the service is needed, and the desired location to get the most accurate results. Google will then decide which practices to call by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
