How this was measured

Between Oct 20 and Oct 31, 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews the same 10 recommendation questions, such as “Who is the best implant dentist in Los Angeles?” We pulled every person named out of the answers and matched them to licensed dentists. People whose ranges overlap share a tier; inside a tier, order is alphabetical. Changes are shown only when they exceed normal run-to-run variation. Results from different method versions can’t be compared.

Definitions

Named: the engine wrote the person into its answer. k of n: named in k of n answers. Tier: people whose likely ranges overlap.

Limits

Answers change from run to run; we repeat each question to measure that. Engines can confuse people with similar names; we resolve names to licensed dentists before counting.

Being named by an AI is not an endorsement, by us or by the engine.

Published by SoaRank. Practices that are SoaRank clients are marked; measurement is run separately from sales.
