Who the AI names, by city and trade

What we found, 2 October 2026 (Google Maps and ChatGPT)

Google Maps shows three dentists in each city. ChatGPT names only 9 of those 18.

We typed "best dental clinic in" each city into Google and into ChatGPT on the same day. Being top three on Google is no longer the whole job: a patient who asks ChatGPT instead hears another clinic's name.

What we found, 28 September 2026 (ChatGPT and Perplexity)

Ask ChatGPT and Perplexity for the best dentist. Only 19 of 116 clinics are named by both.

One AI naming you is luck. Both naming you means your customer hears your name whichever one they open.

Your customer asks in Malay or Chinese, and you can vanish.

We asked ChatGPT the same question in English, Malay and Chinese, for 6 trades in 10 cities (54 trade and city pairs, each read in all three languages). Of 519 businesses it named, only 146 came back in all three.
