Cosmetic Dentists in Liverpool: who the AI names most

Kendal put the questions real buyers ask to all 5 big AI engines (Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews), then counted who each one names. We did the digging so you don't have to. Here's who gets named most often.

Each score is the share of the 80 AI answers that named that business, out of 100. Even the leader appears in only 57% of answers, so nobody owns this market yet. Select any business for the full engine-by-engine breakdown, orread every answer unedited.

This ranks AI visibility — how often each business is named — not quality, safety or suitability. Use it as a starting point, then carry out your own checks. For regulated services, always check the provider's registration and standing with the relevant body before deciding.

Where Smileworks Liverpool actually wins

Smileworks Liverpool tops the board, but no two engines agree completely. Here's the share of answers naming them in each.

Why this leaderboard exists

Remember the Yellow Pages? One book, every local trade, in order. You let your fingers do the walking and got on with your day.

Google replaced it, then quietly changed the rules. The top of the page stopped meaning best for you and started meaning best at SEO. Whoever spent the most on being found, won. So you're back to doing the homework yourself: opening tabs, reading reviews, second-guessing every choice.

Now there's a new twist. More of your neighbours are asking AI for a good cosmetic dentist in Liverpool alongside Google, and every engine gives a different name. Ask 5, get 5 answers, with no idea which to trust.

That's the bit we've done for you. We put the questions people actually type when they're ready to buy to Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, then counted who each one names. What's left is a straight ranking of who the AI mentions most often for this search — a map of AI visibility, not a verdict on who's best. Treat it as your starting shortlist, then check qualifications, reviews and fit for yourself.

What people actually ask the AI

The 16 questions we put to every engine, word for word:

Engine by engine

Five engines, five different answers. Same 16 questions, but each AI reads a different slice of the web, so who gets named changes depending on which one your buyer asks. Here is each engine's own top list.

Named is not the same as reachable. 4 of the 5 engines (Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews) link a named practice straight to its own website. ChatGPT names practices but sends the click to a Google Maps pin, where every rival is listed too. Open any practice for the full engine-by-engine breakdown.

Notice how a practice can lead one engine and be missing from the next. Being named on all 5is the goal; a blank where your name should be is simply a page the AI could not read yet, and that is fixable.

What we found

  • Ollie & Darsh sit second, named in 33 of 80 AI answers.
  • No practice dominates. Even the leader, Smileworks Liverpool, appears in only 57% of answers, so this market is wide open.

Liverpool's cosmetic dentist scene is competitive and clustered around the city centre. The AI engines answer the same buyer questions differently, so where you appear depends on which engine a customer asks and how clearly each one can understand and corroborate your business online.

Questions about this leaderboard

How is AI visibility measured?

We put 16 of the questions real people ask to 5 AI engines (Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews) and count how often each business is named. A neutral judge model scores every answer. The score is the share of the 80 answers that name the business.

How often is this updated?

Every quarter. This page was last measured on 8 July 2026; the next re-score is due October 2026.

Can a practice improve its ranking?

Yes. AI engines are more likely to name businesses they can clearly understand and corroborate across the web. Better-structured pages, strong local signals and credible third-party citations can all help. That is exactly what we work on, but the public leaderboard itself is never for sale.

Are you affiliated with these businesses?

No. Kendal is independent. We measure what the AI says; we take no payment to change any ranking. If you own a listing and something looks wrong, you can request a review.
