About this ranking

90 private dentists measured · 93 dentists found by our own sweep of Austin (31 July 2026) · average AI-visibility score 40/100 · 0% bookable via VisibleFront · data: June–July 2026

These are the businesses VisibleFront has scanned in this market, not every business in it. Where we show how many businesses our own sweep found here, that number is counted, never estimated, and the sweep is not a complete registry. A business missing from this ranking has not been measured, which says nothing about the business itself. Businesses enter the index when they are scanned — often because a scan was requested — so a market’s sample is not a random sample of the city. Every average and share here describes the businesses we measured, not the market as a whole.

How this index rewards real service

This ranking measures one thing: how often ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini actually recommend each business when asked what a real customer would ask. Rankings and placement are never for sale — no business can pay to move up, and this note sits apart from the table above for exactly that reason.

What moves the needle is real service the whole web can see. When AI recommends a business, customers book straight through its VisibleFront profile — online booking included, 0% of their bookings, ever. Every booking made through VisibleFront invites a verified review: only from customers who booked here, never purchasable, never editable — by anyone, at any price. Every verified review adds another trustworthy signal to that business’s identity — evidence no one can buy. Visibility, bookings and reviews compound — and the index rewards the businesses that earn them honestly.

Questions about AI visibility

How do I get my business recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT?+

Whatever your business, AI assistants recommend the ones they can find and trust across the web — we think that means strong reviews, accurate and consistent listings, and a website AI crawlers can actually read. VisibleFront measures where you stand across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini and shows you what to change — for any local business, not just the category ranked above.

Why isn't my business showing up when people ask AI for a recommendation in Austin?+

Usually because AI can't find consistent information about you across the web, or it has wrong or outdated details. AI recommends only a small fraction of local businesses, so missing or inconsistent data means you're effectively invisible.

How is the AI visibility score calculated?+

We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini the 16 questions a real customer would ask, in one pass — each question asked once of each engine on the scan date. The score (0–100) reflects how often AI actually recognises and recommends the business — not merely whether its name appears.

Can a business improve its AI visibility?+

We think so, and we have not measured it yet. Correcting and completing your facts, earning reviews and making your website machine-readable change what the assistants can find about you, and a subscription re-measures every month, so you see whether their answers moved.

How we measure

We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini the questions a real customer would ask — “best dentist in Austin”, “are you taking new patients”, “how much is a check-up” — 16 questions per dentist. Scanned between June and July 2026; every row shows its own date.

We put the questions a real customer would ask to consumer AI assistants — sixteen of them, to ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, in one pass — and record every answer. A score is a snapshot as of the scan date, not a running measurement: AI answers shift over time, and a business can improve its score.

The score (0–100) is how often AI recognises and recommends a business when customers ask, not merely whether its name appears somewhere in the answer. It is measured, never bought — placement and rankings are not for sale at any price.
