AI Visibility Score

This score reflects how likely an AI assistant is to mention your practice — unprompted — when a nearby patient asks for dentist recommendations. It combines AI mention frequency, website AI-readability signals, and local data richness. Scale: 0–100. Area average: 38.

  • Local data richness

  • Review signal strength

What this means: A score of 31 means AI assistants will occasionally surface your practice in very broad searches, but you are consistently outranked by competitors with stronger digital signals. When a new patient moves to your area and asks ChatGPT who to call, roughly 7 in 10 AI responses will not include you — even if you have been practicing there for years.

What the AIs Say About Your Area

When patients ask AI assistants "best dentist near me in Anytown" or "family dentist Anytown CA," here is the kind of response they receive. These are illustrative examples showing the pattern of how AI assistants currently respond to dental searches in markets with similar signal profiles.

ChatGPT
"best dentist near me in Anytown CA"
Here are some well-regarded dental practices in the Anytown area based on available online information:

1. Competitor B Family Dentistry — frequently mentioned for comprehensive general and cosmetic services; strong review presence with 4.8★ across 312 reviews.

2. Competitor E Smile Center — noted for flexible scheduling and a robust patient education section on their website.

3. Competitor H Dental Group — multi-provider practice with high review volume and clear schema data on their site.

I wasn't able to find consistent AI-readable information for ✗ Sample General Dentistry in my training data or recent web knowledge. They may have a web presence, but it isn't structured in a way that makes them easy for me to surface with confidence.
⚠️ Pattern: Your practice was not surfaced in this simulated AI response. Competitors with structured data and review volume were recommended instead. This pattern is consistent across similar markets.
Perplexity
"family dentist Anytown CA accepting new patients"
Based on web search results, several family dental practices in Anytown CA appear to be accepting new patients:

Competitor A Dental (Anytown): 4.9★ / 478 reviews; website lists new patient specials and has Google structured data.
Competitor D Dentistry (nearby zip): Strong review signals; "accepting new patients" text visible on homepage and Google Business Profile.

Sources: Google Business Profile data, practice websites, Healthgrades.
ℹ️ Pattern: Perplexity-style AI searches pull live web data. Practices that explicitly state "accepting new patients" in crawlable, structured formats receive priority. Your homepage does not include this signal in a machine-readable location.
Claude / Gemini
"who are the best dentists in [city] area"
I can point you toward a few well-reviewed practices based on publicly available information — though I'd recommend checking recent reviews on Google and Yelp directly:

Competitor C, Competitor F, and Competitor G tend to come up in searches for this area, with consistent online presences and review volumes in the 200+ range.

I don't have strong data on ✗ Dr. A. Practice — it's possible they operate primarily through referrals or their digital footprint is limited.
💡 The fix is direct: AI assistants default to practices they have the most consistent, structured signal about. Increasing review volume, adding schema markup, and publishing an llms.txt file changes this in 30–90 days.

All AI responses above are illustrative mock-ups showing the pattern for this score profile. Your personalized report uses live AI queries about your specific practice name and city.

5 Fixable Reasons AI Assistants Skip You

These are the specific gaps found in this analysis, ordered by impact. Each is solvable. Most take less than a day of focused work.

1
No structured data (schema markup) on your website
AI assistants and search engines read structured data to understand who you are, what you do, and where you are located. Without LocalBusiness and Dentist schema on your site, you are an unidentified blob of text to every AI. Your top 3 competitors all have it. You have none.
"When a family moves to Anytown and asks ChatGPT for a dentist who takes their insurance, you are invisible — even if you take that insurance and have been there 15 years."
Critical · High impact
2
No llms.txt — your site is not AI-agent readable
A new standard file (llms.txt, analogous to robots.txt) tells AI agents what your practice is about, in their language. It takes 15 minutes to create. Competitor A has one. You have none. AI assistants that check for it will deprioritize sites without it as the standard spreads.
"AI agents are increasingly pre-checking llms.txt before deciding what to say about a business. Without one, you're leaving the AI's interpretation up to chance."
Quick win · 15 min to add
3
Review volume is below the area threshold AI uses as a signal
Your practice has 67 Google reviews. The top 3 AI-recommended practices in your area average 360+ reviews. Review count is not just social proof for humans — it is a signal AI assistants use to weight their recommendations. You have a 4.4★ average (very good), but the volume gap means AI assistants rank you below practices that have generated more review activity.
"You are being outranked not because you are worse — but because your review count tells AI you are less established. That is a perception problem, not a quality problem."

4
Google Business Profile is incomplete — hours, services, and photos are sparse
AI assistants that do live lookups (Perplexity, GPT with web access, Gemini) pull directly from your Google Business Profile. Missing or sparse fields — especially services offered, accepted insurance, and updated hours — cause AI to either skip you or caveat your listing with "I'm not sure if they're accepting patients." Every unanswered field is a reason to recommend your competitor instead.
"A patient asks AI at 10pm if you accept their plan. AI hedges or picks a competitor whose profile answers the question. You lose the call before morning."
Quick win · 1-2 hours to complete
5
No unique, AI-citable content about your practice on the web
AI assistants learn from what they find on the web about you — not just your own site. Competitor B has been mentioned in local news, a dental association directory, and two third-party review platforms with rich details. You are mentioned primarily on Yelp with minimal detail. AI needs multiple corroborating sources to confidently recommend you. Right now, one source = low confidence.
"When AI has only one thin source for you, it treats you as unverified. Multiple consistent citations across the web is what moves you from 'maybe' to 'definitely recommend.'"
