Ep 30 - How AI Will Reshape Senior Living Marketing in 2026: SEO, Speed-to-Lead & Real ROI

In Episode 30 of The Drake Insights Podcast, host Natasha Drake sits down with Joe Soltis, CEO of ChoiceLocal, to uncover how AI is rapidly transforming senior living marketing, sales, and occupancy growth.

Together, we dig into a core belief of this show: innovation and empathy can coexist, and they must coexist because they are the future of senior living.

Joe breaks down the real AI innovations senior living operators need to understand NOW, from AI-driven SEO that shortens results from 6 months to 90 days, to empathetic AI-powered speed-to-lead responses, to data-driven lookalike modeling that improves lead quality and reduces wasted spend.

You'll learn:
• How AI Overviews will determine who wins or loses market share in 2026
• How ChoiceLocal’s CLAI platform boosts SEO & AEO performance in record time
• Why AI-powered text + phone responses convert more leads, day or night
• How to use CRM + AI integration to forecast your ideal marketing mix
• The new era of sales coaching with AI (and why even top reps benefit)

If you’re a senior living operator, marketer, or sales leader, this episode is a must-watch to stay ahead of the competition.
