Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: no business structured data; separate service pages present. |
| 2026-09-17 | Google review counter re-read on 2026-09-17. Corrected: the listing now carries 413 reviews, sixteen more than the 397 on record, at an unchanged 4.9 rating. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read of the clinic's Google listing on 2026-09-17. Corrected: 9 of its 413 ratings sit at one or two stars, 2.2% of the total, and the only readable low review is a single billing dispute that the owner answered the next day, so no repeated complaint stands; the histogram spans every rating band and the readable reviews come from accounts with their own histories, so no sign of review manipulation stands either. Both had previously been recorded as confirmed without a supporting observation. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 'Dr. Biljana Pecakova' confirmed via own-site About Us team roster, independent of previously-cited aggregator (Google Maps). |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial data collection and live verification, 2026-08-27/28: website content, Google Maps rating/reviews, and AI/search visibility for the methodology's five fixed queries. |
