Dentists in Cebu: which clinics ChatGPT and Gemini name
Cebu's dental clinics stay out of sight until ChatGPT or Gemini goes online. Answering from memory alone, neither model named a single clinic on the list. Affinity Dental Clinics Cebu, for one, came up in 0 of 36 of those answers. Across all the answers, the name that kept coming back was Chong Hua Hospital, in 24 of 60.
Once the models look things up online, the clinics come into view. Affinity Dental Clinics Cebu appeared in 16 of 24 answers with search, Green Apple Dental Clinic Cebu in 7 of 24 and Bright Smiles Oral Care Center in 6 of 24. A question about how clinics treat people pointed somewhere else: Ruiz & Sabinay Dental Clinic was named in 2 of 4 of those answers. For someone on a tight budget who wants clear prices before treatment starts, no clinic from the list came up at all.

Where the answers disagree
For these clinics the two ranges do not overlap, so the difference is larger than repeated asking would explain.

In the models' words
Lines from the answers, verbatim apart from formatting.
My personal starting shortlist would be Near Dental Clinic–Mabolo, Affinity Dental Clinics Cebu, Cebu Dental Care Center, and Ivrie Dental Clinic—then I’d choose based on the specific dentist and procedure rather than the clinic’s star rating alone.

How Cebu was measured
Each of the 18 questions went to ChatGPT and to Gemini; 12 of them were asked twice, with the model's web search off and on. A question that itself named a clinic is left out, since its answer would name that clinic by force. The clinics we tracked are the ones we chose to measure in Cebu and the clinics they compete with for the same patients.
Ansmeter Benchmark v2.0, methodology 2026.10, prompt library 2026.10-service-voice. The method and its limits: Methodology. The table as a file: data.csv.
We ran this measurement on our own initiative; no clinic asked for it or paid for it. If a clinic's name or website is wrong here, write to us and we will correct it.
