# AI search accuracy for dental clinics: what ChatGPT and Perplexity need

When people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI about dental clinics, the answers depend on what those assistants can read on your site. These are the facts they most often need, and get wrong when they are missing or not machine-readable.

## Facts AI assistants need from these sites

- Insurance plans accepted and payment options
- Opening hours, holiday hours and emergency availability
- Treatment prices or price ranges (cleanings, whitening, implants)
- Which dentists and specialties are at which location
