The Melbourne board, explained

Does ChatGPT recommend many dentists in Melbourne?

In July 2026 we counted 13 Melbourne practices that ChatGPT actually named, from a verified cohort of 232. That's a 5.6% hit rate; the other 219 never appeared.

Who does ChatGPT name first in Melbourne?

Melbourne Family Dental leads the July 2026 edition, surfacing in every one of the 5 checks. Sundance Family Dentistry follows. Positions are set by measured naming frequency alone.

How was the Melbourne list generated?

We asked 5 patient-style questions, such as "Who is the best dentist in Melbourne, Florida?", and logged each practice ChatGPT named in response. All the phrasings we used are shown above.

Is a spot on the Melbourne board for sale?

They can't. Measured, never sold is the standing rule: being named by ChatGPT in our checks is the only path onto the board. Money cannot buy a place on this list.

Why isn't my practice on the Melbourne list?

Only that it wasn't named when we asked. 219 Melbourne-area practices are in the same position — AI visibility is still rare, and the next quarterly run re-measures everyone from scratch.
