Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Facebook presence checked on 2026-10-02: the clinic's own page is active (latest post 2026-08-28). |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present; separate service pages present. |
| 2026-10-02 | Other review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Wupdoc or Trustpilot, so presence on them is recorded as absent. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read of the clinic's Google listing on 2026-09-17. Corrected: 6 of its 120 ratings sit at one or two stars, 5% of the total and below the threshold at which a repeated complaint would be recorded, and the readable reviews run from 2024 to 2026 across 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. |
