How we measured this

We asked 10 questions a customer might ask about dentists in Detroit, MI, once on each AI tool, through each tool's official API. For example:

I need an emergency dentist in Detroit, MI right now. Who should I call?
Who is the most trusted dentist in Detroit, MI?
Which dental practice in Detroit, MI is best for dental implants?

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 Gemini (model knowledge) answers without a web search, from what the model learned in training, so its picks can be out of date.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.
