AI search is replacing Google for local recommendations

When patients ask ChatGPT
for a dentist —
do you show up?

We checked 72 dental practices across the US. Not one appeared when we searched ChatGPT and Perplexity for "best dentist in [their city]." Their competitors did.

The shift already happened

Patients don't just Google anymore. They ask AI. And AI has a short list of practices it recommends — built from signals most dental websites completely ignore.

🤖

AI tools have a short list

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI cite 3-5 practices per query. If you're not structured correctly, you're invisible — regardless of how good you are.

📉

Google rankings don't transfer

Ranking #1 on Google doesn't mean you appear in AI answers. AI uses completely different signals: structured data, llms.txt, citation patterns.

⏳

Early movers win

AI search is still early for dental. The practices that get cited now will build a citation history that's hard to displace. The window is now — not in two years.

Real data

We searched ChatGPT for your city.
Here's what we found.

We ran "best dentist in [city]" for 72 practices across Milwaukee, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta and 30+ other cities. The pattern was the same everywhere.

  • ✗ The practice doesn't appear in the AI answer
  • ✗ 2-3 competitors in the same city are cited instead
  • ✗ No llms.txt, AI crawlers not addressed in robots.txt
  • ✓ All of this is fixable — usually in under a week

How it works

Three steps. No technical knowledge required on your end.

1

We audit your practice

We run your website through our AI visibility engine — checking 40+ signals that determine whether ChatGPT and Perplexity cite you.

2

You get a clear report

A plain-English breakdown of what's blocking your AI visibility, ranked by impact. No jargon. No fluff. Just what needs to change.

3

We fix it — or you do

We can implement the fixes for you, or hand off a step-by-step guide to your web developer. Most practices see improvement within 2-3 weeks.

What the audit covers

🔍

AI crawler access

Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot can crawl your site — or are accidentally blocked.

📋

Structured data (Schema)

LocalBusiness, Dentist, and MedicalBusiness schema markup that tells AI exactly who you are and what you do.

📄

llms.txt file

The new standard for AI-readable websites. Like robots.txt, but for language models. Most dental sites don't have one.

✍️

Content structure

Whether your pages answer the specific questions patients ask AI — services, location, credentials, trust signals.

⭐

Review & citation signals

How your Google reviews and online mentions feed into AI recommendation algorithms.

📊

Competitive gap analysis

Which practices in your city are being cited by AI — and exactly what they're doing that you're not.
