Dentists in Manchester: which clinics ChatGPT and Gemini name
The names Manchester's answers come back to are not the clinics on the list. The Care Quality Commission turned up in 65 of 120 answers, and University Dental Hospital of Manchester in 59 of 120. A plain request for implants, or for urgent help with a toothache, brought answers that named none of the listed clinics at all.
ChatGPT and Gemini part ways over 360 Dental Care: Gemini named it in 17 of 60 answers, while ChatGPT left it out every time, 0 of 60. Deansgate Dental Studio is the name that waits for the web. From the models' own memory it came up in 0 of 72 answers, but once they searched online it appeared in 13 of 48.

How Manchester 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 Manchester 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.
