From the AuditLamp scan corpus -- what the engine measures
Only 3 of 105 scanned business sites (2.9%) opened with a passage a machine could lift and quote as an answer. The check evaluated whether the first substantial paragraph after the main heading is self-contained, specific, and attributable -- the qualities that make a passage usable by ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI features. For a dental practice, this means AI answers about local dentists are almost never drawn from practice websites directly -- the site gives the engine nothing specific to quote about services, hours, or location.
Source: AuditLamp scan corpus, n=105, 2026-08-11.84 of the 99 sites that failed had no concrete, attributable fact about the business within the first three scrolls of the homepage. The first specific claim appeared after a hero line, a tagline, and a services list. For a dental practice, a patient asking AI for a local dentist recommendation gets a generic response because there is nothing specific to quote from the first screen of the site.
Source: AuditLamp scan corpus, n=105, 2026-08-11.1 in 8 scanned business sites (13 of 102, 12.7%) returned a 403 to an AI crawler even though robots.txt explicitly allowed that crawler. The two layers disagreed, and the stricter one was a silent edge block the owner had never seen. A dental practice in this situation is invisible to AI answer systems even when staff believe the site is open -- the conflict is between two layers most web designers never check.
Source: AuditLamp scan corpus, n=102, 2026-08-12.57 of 60 small business sites (95%) had no AI crawler rules in robots.txt at all. Their visibility to AI search answers is an inherited CDN default, not a decision anyone made. A dental practice with no AI crawler rules in robots.txt is relying on whatever its hosting provider set by default, not a policy anyone at the practice chose.
Source: AuditLamp scan corpus, n=60, 2026-07-15.7 of 60 small business sites (12%) turned away a search-class AI crawler -- the kind that fetches live pages to build an answer a user reads -- with no sign in robots.txt that anyone had chosen that outcome. A dental practice that turns away AI crawlers without knowing it will not appear in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers even if its pages have exactly the information a patient needs.

New patients search "dentist near me" and ask ChatGPT who is accepting appointments. The answer comes from what machines can read: your hours, your address, your phone, service pages with real content. If those are messy or blocked, the booking goes across town. Paste your practice URL. Free scan. Worst problems first.

We look for the failures that cost appointments.
Hours and location machines cannot read
Patients and AI answers need open hours and a real place. We check local business markup, hours markup, and whether geo targeting matches your service area.
Phone and address that disagree across pages
Footer, contact page, and structured data tell different numbers. We check business identity consistency across the whole site.
Service pages with no answer and bots turned away
Implants, Invisalign, emergency care pages that say nothing, or a site that needs JavaScript before any text appears. We measure content depth, whether the first paragraph is quotable, and whether named AI crawlers can actually reach the page at the network layer.

Readiness, not a promise Google Maps will rank you first.
We do not control Google Business Profile, reviews, or Map Pack ranking. We do not promise ChatGPT will name your practice. The free scan proves whether public pages are thin, inconsistent, or closed to crawlers, and what to fix first, in plain language. Same engine as every other site: 164 graded checks. Full Report is $10 once. Ongoing re-checks are on pricing.
