AI visibility benchmark · first-party data

Dentists: ready sites, measured brands.

When someone asks an AI engine "dentist near me", most dentists aren't the answer. We measured 41 of them with our own scanner. Here is what the category actually looks like.

What drives the gap

This is one of the stronger categories we measure: an average visibility of 57/100 against site readiness of 81.2/100. The pattern matches what drives AI answers in 2026 — engines name brands they see mentioned and referenced elsewhere, and this category earns those mentions. The businesses still invisible here (0 scored zero) are typically missing the off-site footprint, not the website basics.
