Dentists in Italy: who AI assistants recommend

We asked 4 AI assistants where to find dentists in 50 cities in Italy, with 5 questions per city written the way a resident would ask them. That makes 1,000 answers, collected on 3 November 2026.

71% of answers recommend at least one business

708 of 1,000 answers give at least one name to call. With the same method, the true share sits between 68% and 74%; the other answers explain how to choose and name nobody.

Gemini names the most, Claude the fewest

Gemini recommends a business in 99% of its answers, Claude in 9%. Showing up in one assistant does not mean showing up in another.

DentalPro is recommended in 33 of 50 cities

38% of answers name at least one national network or chain. The other recommended businesses are independent, and they change from city to city.

Portals make up 31% of the sites read, business websites 17%

59% of answers link to a portal, 42% to the website of a named business. A site the assistant reads is a site it takes names from.

Download the data

Method

Cities: the 50 most populous municipalities, ISTAT estimates at 1 January 2026. Each city has its own 5 questions, in the language spoken there, the same for every assistant.

Assistants: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, with the models of Mador's free scan and web search on. For each question and assistant the most recent answer counts.

An answer "recommends a business" when it names at least one real business in the category: headings, neighbourhoods, portals and public bodies do not count. The interval accounts for assistants answering the same questions (the same method as the Mador Index).

Since 4 November 2026, the order counts the answers that recommend first, then the mentions.

Names appear only where the assistants recommend them, never if an answer advises against them: national networks in the cities where at least one answer recommends them, independent businesses recommended in at least 2 answers in their city.

This data comes from the same work Mador does every day for businesses: it sees where assistants recommend them, writes and publishes the missing pages and measures again to see what changed.
