KEY FINDINGS
You were recommended in just 13 of 225 AI answers (6%). Bloom Dental Studio appeared in 94.
Your site blocks the AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot) in robots.txt — so most platforms can't read you at all.
You have no LocalBusiness structured data, the single most common reason a dentist is invisible to AI.
On 1 high-value query — "pediatric dentist south austin" — AI recommends no one. That lane is open.
Benchmark: the average local business appears in roughly 12% of AI recommendations. Your citation rate: 8% — below average, but almost entirely due to fixable technical gaps.
02 · Evidence
What AI actually says about you
Real, unedited excerpts from AI answers to your customers' questions.
ChatGPTasked: "who's the best dentist in Austin?"● NOT MENTIONED
"A few Austin dentists that consistently get strong reviews: Bloom Dental Studio for gentle, patient-first care, Lakeside Family Dental for family appointments and same-week availability, and Mint Modern Dentistry for cosmetic work like veneers and Invisalign."
Perplexityasked: "dentist with good reviews in south austin"● MENTIONED · #2
"For South Austin, well-reviewed options include Lakeside Family Dental and Riverbend Dental Studio, both noted for friendly staff and modern facilities. Riverbend in particular is mentioned for its cosmetic and cleaning services."
Geminiasked: "affordable dentist in Austin that takes new patients"● NOT MENTIONED
"For budget-friendly care in Austin, people often recommend Austin Smiles and Bloom Dental Studio, which offer new-patient specials and accept most major insurance plans."
Two of the three answers above are customer conversations happening without you. The playbook in this report is built to change that.

Bloom wins because it's readable and reviewed: 300+ recent Google reviews, complete schema, and a presence on every directory AI trusts. None of that is out of reach — it's a checklist, and it's in section 08.

Your services and reviews are rendered by JavaScript. Many AI crawlers only read the raw HTML.

07 · Sources
Where AI gets its answers about your category
The sources AI platforms referenced when answering your customers' questions, captured live during this audit. Being present on these is the fastest path into AI answers.
Gap: your own website was never cited as a source. AI is describing the Austin dental market without ever reading you.
