The best dental clinics in Varna, according to AI
We asked ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode 16 questions a patient in Varna would ask, three times each, in Bulgarian, German and English. These are the 92 practices they named across 204 answers, ranked by how often each one comes up.
The leaderboard
Practices named at least once, ranked by AI share: the percentage of answers that name it. Filter by engine, by what the patient needs or by the language they asked in. Open a row to read what each engine actually said about the practice.
AI share = answers naming the practice ÷ answers given, under the filters you pick. Google AI Overview answers count only when Google showed one. Position is where it appears in the answer's list (1 = first). Google rating and review count are from Google Maps on the scan date. Bars under "By engine" are scaled to the highest value in view; hover for the exact figure.
What moved since last month
This is the first edition. In November 2026 the same 16 questions go to the same five engines again, and this section will show who rose, who fell, which practices entered or dropped out of the answers, and which pages started being cited.

One email when the new edition is out, with who rose and who fell. Add your practice and we'll tell you where it landed.
Check your clinic
Search any of the 222 dental clinics Google Maps lists in Varna. You'll see whether the AI engines recommend it, for which questions, what they say and which sources they read.
Your result shows here
For each practice you'll get:
- its AI share, rank and #1 picks
- which engines name it, and which never do
- the questions it wins and the ones it misses
- what the engines actually say about it
- wrong or dead links the engines attach to it
One question, five different answers
Pick a question. Above, the practices each engine named, in the order it named them, with dots for which of the three runs included them. Below, the full first-run answer, with every practice on the leaderboard highlighted.
Where the engines agree, and where they don't
The 20 most-named practices. Each cell is the share of that engine's answers, or that need's answers, naming the practice. The engines agree on a handful of names and split on the rest. Each named between 22 and 61 different practices.
Who AI recommends for each need
The same engines give different names depending on what the patient asks for. Emergency and orthodontics are close to separate markets: the clinics that win "best dentist" barely show up there.
Google reviews don't decide it
Each dot is a practice: how many Google reviews it has (across) against its AI share (up). Plenty of practices with hundreds of strong reviews barely register with AI, and some with a handful get named again and again. Hollow dots were never named.
Loved on Google, rare in AI answers
4.7 stars or more, 100+ reviews, named in under 5% of answers.
Google showed AI on only 12 of 48 searches
On the other searches the first thing a patient saw was the map pack. The practices it showed most often:
Where the answers come from
The engines cite what they read. Directories and listing sites were cited in 270 answer-citations, clinic websites in 242. whatclinic.com alone was cited in 66 of the 204 answers, more than any clinic's own site.
Who the cited sites are
Share of 925 citations, by kind of site.
What the cited pages are
The same citations, by kind of page.
If you run a clinic, these pages are your AI shop window
The engines read listings on whatclinic.com, booking.dentist, superdoc.bg, smilejet.app and bulgariadentalrating.com before they recommend anyone. A practice that isn't listed there, or is listed with thin details, gives them less to work with. That is usually a faster fix than rewriting your homepage.
The pages that decide the shortlist
123 pages were cited in two or more answers, and 16% of those citations went to best-of lists and comparisons. A practice missing from these pages gives the engines nothing to quote. Below, the pages cited most, with the practices named in the answers that cited them. Check any practice to see its citation gaps: the pages cited when the engines named its rivals but not it.

What ChatGPT searched for
ChatGPT searched the web before every one of its 48 answers, 67 searches in all. None of those searches named a practice: it searched for the category and let the results decide; 10% added the year. A practice that is not in its searches has to be found by them.

When AI gets the details wrong
We checked every link the engines attached to a practice's name. Most went to the clinic's own site or a directory listing. These didn't, and each one is a patient sent the wrong way. Every domain below was checked by hand on 12 October 2026.
Not on the list? This is what moves it
AI engines don't rank practices. They summarise what the web already says about them. Each step below comes from what this month's 240 answers show.
Be listed where the engines read
Directory and review listings were cited more often than clinic websites this month. Complete profiles on the ones the engines use, with the same name, address and phone everywhere.
Say plainly what you're best at
The engines name clinics “for implants”, “for aligners”, “for children”. A practice that states its specialty in plain words, on its site and its listings, gets picked for that question.
Answer in every language your patients ask in
Questions in different languages return different shortlists. A clinic with pages in one language only is invisible to questions in the others.
Make your facts impossible to get wrong
One official domain, one name, one address, repeated identically. Where the facts are thin, the engines fill the gaps themselves.
Measure it every month
Answers change from run to run and month to month. This leaderboard re-runs the same questions every month, so a clinic can see whether a change moved anything.
Want to know why the engines skip you, and fix it?
busyless runs AI visibility work (AEO) for local businesses and companies: an audit of what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google say about you, the fixes on and off your website, and a monthly read of whether it worked.
How this leaderboard is made
Same questions, same engines, every month. The method is fixed so the months can be compared.
16 questions, in several languages
6 in Bulgarian, 1 in German and 9 in English, covering 8 needs: best overall, implants, veneers & cosmetic, braces & aligners, children, emergency, visitors & English and value for money.
See all 16 questions
Five engines
ChatGPT (gpt-6, web search on) and Gemini (3.5 Flash-Lite) as their apps answer users in Bulgaria; Perplexity (sonar); Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode searched from Varna. Collected through DataForSEO on 12 October 2026.
Three runs per question
The same question gets a different answer on a different try, so each one is asked three times per engine. A practice named in two of three runs counts twice. That's 240 calls; 204 came back with an answer. 36 Google AI Overview calls returned no answer (for Google AI Overview, a search that showed none).
Matching names to practices
Names are matched in Latin and Cyrillic against all 222 practices on Google Maps plus practices the engines named that Maps did not return. Street and district names don't count (Chayka, Odesos and Hristo Botev are districts as well as clinic names), bare surnames don't count, and every disputed match was checked by hand. Branches of one practice are counted together; separate companies under one brand are not.
Scoring
AI share = answers naming the practice ÷ answers given. Ties are broken by average position. Nothing is weighted by ratings, and no clinic paid to appear or to rank.
What it doesn't measure
Answers differ by user, location, account and phrasing, and change daily. This is a fixed sample of 240 answers, not every conversation. It measures who gets recommended, not who the best dentist is. That's for patients and dentists to judge.
Questions
Which dental clinic in Varna does ChatGPT recommend most?
Dental Club Karadzhovi. ChatGPT named it in 23 of its 48 answers across our 16 questions, asked three times each, in October 2026.
Which dental clinic in Varna do AI assistants name most often?
Across all five engines, Dr. Boneva Dental Studio was named most often, in 31% of answers. Dental Club Karadzhovi was named first most often: 31 times.
Which clinic in Varna do AI assistants recommend for dental implants?
Dentaprime, named in 14 of 25 answers to the implants questions.
Which orthodontist in Varna do AI assistants recommend?
Dr. Teterekova Orthodontics, named in 16 of 25 answers to the braces & aligners questions.
Who do AI assistants recommend as a children's dentist in Varna?
Medicare Varna, named in 17 of 25 answers to the children questions.
Which emergency dentist in Varna do AI assistants recommend?
Farmadent Emergency Dental Center, named in 22 of 26 answers to the emergency questions.
Do Google reviews decide which dental clinics AI recommends?
Not on their own. 3 of the 10 dental clinics with the most Google reviews in Varna were named in fewer than 5% of AI answers, and the engines cited directory listings more often than Google Maps itself.
How often is this leaderboard updated?
Monthly. The same 16 questions go to the same five engines each month, so changes between editions are real changes in what the engines say. The next edition is November 2026.
Can a clinic pay to be ranked higher?
No. The ranking is computed from the AI answers alone, and no clinic paid to appear on this page. A clinic can change what the engines say about it, which is what AI visibility (AEO) work does, but not this page.
How can a clinic get recommended by ChatGPT?
Make it easy for the engines to find consistent, specific facts about you: complete listings on the directories they cite, a plain statement of what you specialise in, pages in the languages your patients ask in, and one official website. busyless does this work as part of its AEO service.
