Dentists in Lyon: which clinics ChatGPT and Gemini name
When ChatGPT and Gemini talk about dentists in Lyon, the name they keep coming back to is Doctolib, which appeared in 81 of 120 answers. Hospices Civils de Lyon and Dentego were named often too. The four clinics on the list are another story. Without web search, each of them turned up in 0 of 72 answers.
Every mention they got came once the models searched the web. Cabinet Dentaire d'Ainay appeared in 11 of 48 answers with search, and the two models split sharply over it: ChatGPT named it in 10 of 60 answers, Gemini in 1 of 60. Cabinet Dentaire Lumière appeared the same way, in 6 of 48. Questions about a severe toothache or a tight budget led to none of the four, and Centre Dentaire Lyon Frères Lumière never came up at all.

How Lyon was measured
Each of the 18 questions went to ChatGPT and to Gemini, in 2 separate runs; 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 Lyon 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.
