By the kind of question: 5 of them came up for urgent requests, 5 for questions about price, 3 for questions about trust and reviews, and 3 for questions about a specific service.

How we measured this

We asked 10 questions a customer might ask about orthodontists in Los Angeles, CA, once on each AI tool, through each tool's official API. For example:

  • My child needs braces and I want to start soon in Los Angeles, CA. Which orthodontist should I call?
  • Who is the most trusted orthodontist in Los Angeles, CA?
  • Which orthodontic practice in Los Angeles, CA is best for braces for adults?

Perplexity searches the web and shows its sources. Gemini (model knowledge) answers without a web search, from what the model learned in training, so its picks can be out of date. A language model read each answer and listed the businesses it named, and a business counts once per answer. These results describe what AI said on these dates. They are not a rating of any business's work.
