Dentists in Edinburgh: which clinics ChatGPT and Gemini name
Only Gemini ever brings up Cherrybank Dental Spa Edinburgh. It named the clinic in 14 of 30 answers; ChatGPT, in 0 of 30. Edinburgh Dental Specialists gets an even hearing from both, turning up in 13 of 30 answers from each model. When the question is implants for a demanding case, all 4 of 4 answers point there.
Some questions lead away from every clinic on the list. When people asked for urgent help with a toothache, or for somewhere cheaper with clear prices up front, the answers named none of them. Across all the answers, NHS 24 was named in 20 of 60. Neither 18 Manor Place Dental Practice nor Integrated Dentalcare came up at all.

How Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh 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.
