Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found. |
| 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. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot; "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read of the clinic's Google listing on 2026-09-17. Corrected: 9 of its 242 ratings are one-star, 3.7% of the total and below the threshold at which a repeated complaint would be recorded, and the readable reviews are spread over months 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. |
| 2026-08-27 | 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. |
