You make the top 3 at 1 of 25 points. Most people tap one of the first three results, so that’s where the calls come from. The competitors above you are the ones to compare categories, services and reviews with.
When someone searches “dentist” on their phone, Google Maps lists the practices it judges most relevant to the search, weighed against how far away they are and how well known they are. A short walk away the list can look different, so a practice that leads on its own block can be missing a few streets over. This check shows you the list from points all around your practice.

Questions about Google Maps for Dentists
Why does my practice show up for “dentist” but not for “emergency dentist”?
Because Google treats them as two searches with their own results. For “emergency dentist”, relevance comes from what your profile says about urgent care: the Emergency dental service category, the services you list, and hours that show when you can see patients. Scan each search term you want patients to find you by.
Should each dentist at the practice have their own Google profile?
Google allows it. Its guidelines let individual practitioners who see patients directly have a profile of their own alongside the practice’s, while a practice with only one dentist should keep a single profile. Practitioner profiles can show up for the same searches as the practice, so check how they rank against each other.
We have several offices. How do we check them all?
Scan each office on its own. Every location has its own Business Profile and ranks around its own address, so one office can lead its neighborhood while another is missing from its own.
Do reviews change where my practice appears on Google Maps?
Yes. Google says review count and rating are part of prominence, which it weighs together with relevance and distance. Reviews don’t cancel out distance, though: a well-reviewed practice still tends to slip as the searcher gets farther away.
Why don’t I show up for “dental implants” or “teeth whitening”?
Those searches can bring up other kinds of businesses, such as specialist practices and, for whitening, salons and spas. Google matches them against your categories, the services you list and your website, so if you offer the treatment, list it as a service and describe it on your site. Then scan the term to see who leads.
Questions
How is the ranking measured?
We run the same Google Maps search from 25 points in a grid around your business and record where you appear at each one. Every search is placed at its point, with no personal search history attached.
Why do I rank differently across my area?
Because distance is part of the ranking. Google weighs how far each business is from the person searching, so your position changes as the searcher moves. Relevance and prominence affect how far out you still show up.
Is it free?
Yes. A scan of up to 25 points and one answer from each AI assistant are free, with no account needed.
What do you ask the AI assistants?
We ask each assistant on the card the question shown there, once, for your city, and check whether your business is named in the answer. If an assistant isn’t available in your country, the card says so.
Why do AI assistants name different businesses than Google Maps?
Because they answer a different way. An assistant answers for the whole city rather than for one spot, and builds its answer from what it finds on the web, such as review sites, directories and articles. The sources it cites show where it looked.
Is Listed Local part of Google?
No. Listed Local is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Google. A free scan only reads search results; it doesn’t change anything on your Business Profile.
