- 3The directories patients useComplete, matching listings on Healthgrades, Zocdoc, Yelp and the ADA’s Find-a-Dentist. Same name, address and phone everywhere.

See exactly why they win
When AI names a rival, Stride shows what it leaned on: their reviews, their directory profiles, their treatment pages. Then it lists what they have that you don’t, and turns each gap into a task.

Questions, answered.
Is this the answer a patient sees in ChatGPT?
Close, not identical. Stride asks through OpenAI’s API with web search on, the same way its tracking works. The ChatGPT app can answer a signed-in person differently, and answers change from day to day, so treat one check as a snapshot.
How do I get my dental practice recommended by ChatGPT?
Make sure the web says clearly what you do and where. Complete your Google Business Profile, keep reviews coming that name the treatment, match your listings on Healthgrades, Zocdoc, Yelp and the ADA directory, and give each treatment its own page with plain answers about insurance and the areas you serve.
Why does it show only three practices?
The check keeps the first three practices ChatGPT names, in its order. Those are the ones a patient is most likely to call. A walkthrough or the free audit covers more questions and more AI tools.
Does the check cost anything?
No. The check is free and needs no account. The same question for the same city is answered once and saved for up to 30 days, so you may see a recent answer instead of a new one. The date is shown with the result.
What happens on the walkthrough?
Fifteen minutes on a call. Stride shows you which patient questions name you, which practices AI picks instead and why, and what it would take to get named. You decide afterwards whether to do it yourself, use Stride, or have Stride’s team do it for you.
