We read your site and understood you as Coastline Dental Co — dental clinic, for families and individuals seeking dental care across the Sunshine Coast region, across Cooroy, Maroochydore. So we asked the AI engines the questions that customer actually types — your visibility below is measured against those, not generic ones.
Did we get your business right?
💡 Results feel off? Two things can skew an AI read
1. We might have misread your business. Your score depends on us asking the questions your customer actually types — so if the summary above is wrong, tap 👎 on it. Wrong business, customer or location throws the whole read off.
2. Your website might be hard for AI to read. A site that renders with JavaScript, is thin on text, or blocks crawlers gives AI little to work with — and it skews this scan the same way it throws off ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI. A clearer, server-rendered, well-structured site reads more accurately here and gets recommended more out there — so if a result looks wrong, your site's structure is the first place to look.

AI Visibility — are you in the answer right now?
84/100
AI Readiness — is your site built to be found?
Two scores, two questions. Visibility — does AI name you today (this is the one that wins customers). Readiness — is your site built to earn it. You can be ready but not yet visible; closing that gap is what this report is for.
Google AI Overviews
Google isn't showing an AI Overview for your buyer searches yet — common for local intent (it shows the map pack instead). When it does, the same off-page signals (entity, mentions, citations) decide who it pulls in.
Your visibility map
We asked the four AI engines the 12 questions your customers actually ask. You were named in 23 of 48 checks — and below each question, exactly who AI named instead.
📍 You trade in several markets, so we assessed your visibility across Cooroy, Maroochydore — not just one.

Broader per-market view — across all your buyer questions

“Top-reviewed dentists near the Sunshine Coast include Meridian Dental Group and Harbourside Dental. Coastline Dental Co is a locally owned practice known for its patient care, though it appears less often in AI answers than the larger groups.”
named when asked: “dentist Cooroy”
Why AI picks them, not you
AI named Meridian Dental Group ahead of you because it out-signals you where AI looks hardest: 547 sites link to them vs 114 to you (5× more); they read as an established entity to AI — you don't yet. Those are the trust signals AI weighs to decide who's the established choice — close them and you're in the same conversation. The full field is below; your prioritised plan to close them is at the end.
How you rank against the competition
You versus the 5 businesses competing for your space — on the two signals that move AI most: how many sites link to you, and how many customers review you. You rank #5 of 6 on referring-domain authority.

Referring domains and reviews are the clearest signals AI uses to decide who's the established, trusted choice. Closing this gap is exactly what moves you up — and into the answer.
🔎 880 people search for Coastline Dental Co by name every month — existing demand AI should be turning into recommendations, not handing to competitors.
Where AI gets its answers — and you're not there
When the AI engines answered these buyer questions without naming Coastline Dental Co, they pulled from these sources. A presence on them is the most direct route into the answer:
channonlawrencedental.com.aucited in 7 answers
yourfamilydentalsc.com.aucited in 7 answers
bliblidental.com.aucited in 5 answers
whitesandsdentalgympie.com.aucited in 5 answers
caltonhilldental.com.aucited in 5 answers
comfortdentalgympie.com.aucited in 4 answers
These are the pages AI trusts for your category — a listing, review, mention or thread on them is what turns "not named" into "recommended".
Your citation game plan
~85% of the brand mentions in AI answers come from third-party pages, not your own site. These are the specific places to get listed, reviewed or mentioned so AI sees you — highest-leverage first.
🏛️
1. Australian Dental Association (ADA) Find a Dentist Register register
Official professional register; AI assistants cite ADA-verified practitioners as authoritative; listing requires ADA membership but dramatically increases credibility in LLM recommendations.
⭐
2. Google Business Profile review
ChatGPT and Perplexity pull ~40% of local business citations from GBP; reviews, photos, and service details directly feed AI summaries; essential for Sunshine Coast geo-queries.
⭐
3. Healthgrades Australia review
Healthcare-specific review platform that AI assistants cite when recommending medical/dental providers; Australian version trusted by LLMs for practitioner vetting.
Perplexity and ChatGPT explicitly reference ProductReview for Australian service recommendations; high domain authority signals trustworthiness to AI ranking.
💬
5. Reddit r/AustralianPersonalFinance + r/Dentistry (Sunshine Coast threads) community
AI training data includes Reddit discussions; appearing in genuine recommendation threads (not spam) creates organic third-party mentions; search for existing 'Sunshine Coast dentist' threads and participate authentically.
📰
6. Sunshine Coast Daily / Local Press (Health/Wellness section) press
Regional news mentions are cited by AI as local authority signals; pitch community health stories, sponsorships of local events, or expert commentary on dental health trends.
📁
7. Sunshine Coast Tourism & Business Directory (Chamber of Commerce / SCCCI listings) directory
Local business registers are crawled by AI for regional recommendations; membership signals legitimacy and local integration.
📁
8. Justdial Australia / Local Business Aggregators (Whereis, Sensis) directory
These aggregators feed data to AI assistants for local search; consistent NAP (name, address, phone) across platforms improves citation likelihood.
Work top-down: each listing or mention is a new path for AI to find, trust and recommend you. Reply to your report email and we'll do this for you.

Your foundation — does your tech stack help or hurt?
WordPress + WooCommerce — GEO-capable with a schema plugin, a fast theme and clean product markup, but it needs deliberate setup.
WooCommerceWordPressCloudflare
Why this matters for AI: your stack is the foundation every other score sits on. A clean, fast, server-rendered site with structured data is one an AI crawler can read in full — and an AI agent can act on. Heavy page-builders, JavaScript-only content and plugin bloat are what make crawlers give up before they reach your answer. Streamlining here makes everything above it easier for AI to read.

60/100
Performance
A slow load makes you a weaker citation candidate — an AI crawler may give up on a page that takes too long to render.
Agent-readiness — can an AI agent actually use your site?
Being named by a chatbot is step one. The next wave is autonomous AI agents that research, book and buy for people — they need to read, understand and act on your site directly. Here's the ladder, and where you stand.
✓
Basic Web Presence
Your site is online and AI crawlers can reach it — the starting line.
✓
Bot-Aware
You explicitly let the AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google) in to read you.
L3
Agent-Ready YOU ARE HERE
Structured data + an llms.txt mean an agent can understand what you offer and who it's for.
L4
Agent-Integrated ◆ TARGET
Machine-readable prices, availability and actions an agent can pick up and use for a customer.
L5
Agent-Native
A full agent interface (e.g. MCP) — agents can book, buy and transact with you directly.
Where to aim: Level 3–4 is the sweet spot for most businesses — at Level 3 an agent can confidently understand and recommend you; Level 4+ lets agents act (book/buy) for a customer. Below Level 3, agents can see you exist but can't reliably use you.
You've cleared the bar most businesses should aim for. Beyond here (Levels 4–5) means exposing machine-readable prices/actions and, eventually, an agent interface — worth it once you want agents booking or buying on a customer's behalf.
The six signals — and how each is scored
Each pillar is scored 0–100, then weighted (the % shown) into your overall AI Readiness. Red = your biggest gaps. Tap any signal for what it means, why AI cares, the exact checks, and how to lift it.
Quotable content Citability · 25% of score60/100
See what this means, the checks & how to lift it▾
What this is. How easily an AI can lift a clear, self-contained answer from your pages — a heading that asks the real question, then answers it in the first sentence, backed by specific facts.
Why it moves AI. AI assistants assemble answers from quotable passages. Vague, promotional copy gives the model nothing to use, so it quotes a competitor who wrote a clearer answer instead.
How to lift it. Add FAQ-style headings phrased as your customers' questions, answer each in 1–2 plain sentences up front, and include concrete numbers, prices and specifics the model can cite verbatim.
Site health Technical · 15% of score73/100
See what this means, the checks & how to lift it▾
What this is. Whether AI crawlers can cleanly reach, render and read your site — HTTPS, a sitemap, canonical URLs, and real Core Web Vitals (load speed and visual stability).
Why it moves AI. If the crawler can't load your content quickly and cleanly, your pages may never enter the model's index — and a slow, unstable page is a weak citation candidate even when it does.
How to lift it. Serve over HTTPS with a sitemap and canonical tags, keep Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s and CLS under 0.1, and make sure key content is in the HTML — not loaded only by JavaScript.
AI-ready setup Platform · 10% of score82/100
See what this means, the checks & how to lift it▾
What this is. Your readiness for each AI surface specifically — crawler access for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI, an llms.txt, and answer-shaped content.
Why it moves AI. Each assistant pulls from slightly different sources. Allowing their crawlers and publishing an llms.txt is the difference between being available to all of them or invisible to some.
How to lift it. Allow the AI crawlers in robots.txt, publish an llms.txt (yours is above), and structure key pages as clear questions-and-answers so any engine can lift them.
Brand recognition Brand · 20% of score100/100
See what this means, the checks & how to lift it▾
What this is. Whether AI recognises you as a real, established entity — driven by how many independent websites reference you and whether the engines already name you.
Why it moves AI. Models recommend businesses they've 'seen' across the open web. Referring domains, directories, reviews and mentions are the trust signal that gets you onto the shortlist at all.
4/4 AI engines name you✓ cited by AI~880 brand searches/mo~792 web mentions✗ no Wikipedia / Wikidata entity✓ cited by 5 third-party sources (yelp.com, health.usnews.com, qfinder2.health.qld.gov.au)114 referring domains✓ 2 social profiles
How to lift it. Earn citations from industry directories, local press, review sites and partners; claim and complete every profile; and aim for one reference-grade mention (an authoritative industry list or wiki-class source).
Trust & credibility E-E-A-T · 20% of score100/100
See what this means, the checks & how to lift it▾
What this is. Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust — the credentials, provenance, contactability and reviews AI weighs before putting its name behind a recommendation.
Why it moves AI. AI is cautious about who it vouches for. Clear About/contact pages, named people, qualifications, a visible track record and a well-reviewed Google Business Profile tell it you're safe to recommend.
✓ About page✓ contact details✗ privacy policy✗ credentials / track record✓ external authority (AI-recognised / cited)✓ read your about + services + contact pages★ 4.9 Google Business (464 reviews)
How to lift it. Add a substantive About page with real people and credentials, visible contact details and a privacy policy, prove your track record (years, licences, accreditations, awards), and claim and complete your Google Business Profile — then keep gathering reviews.
Machine-readable info Schema · 10% of score100/100
See what this means, the checks & how to lift it▾
What this is. Structured data (JSON-LD) that states your business facts — name, location, services, hours — in a format AI can parse without guessing.
Why it moves AI. Schema removes ambiguity. Organization / LocalBusiness markup is how the model confirms what you are and where you operate before it recommends you.
How to lift it. Add Organization + LocalBusiness JSON-LD to your homepage (we've generated yours above), plus Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList markup where relevant.
Bonus · your llms.txt — publish at coastlinedental.com.au/llms.txt
A machine-readable summary for the AI agents and tools that read it — an agent-readiness signal. The major AI search engines don't rely on it yet, so treat it as a low-effort completeness win rather than a visibility driver. Here's yours, ready to publish.

Fix · your structured data — paste into your homepage <head>
Your complete entity block, pre-filled from this scan — the right type (LocalBusiness vs Organization), your category and area, plus your verified profiles (sameAs) and Google rating where we found them. Paste it as-is; it's the structured data AI uses to trust and identify you.
01Establish your business as a verified ENTITY — a Wikidata item (and Wikipedia page where notable) linked to your domain, plus Organization JSON-LD with sameAs links to your verified profiles. This is the cross-engine 'truth anchor' AI uses to know who you are.
02Add direct quotations — a line from a named expert, founder or customer. Pages with quotations are cited markedly more often by AI assistants (~+40% visibility in controlled tests).
03Cite authoritative sources — link out to standards bodies, .gov/.edu references or industry data. Sourced pages read as more trustworthy to AI (~+28% visibility).
