    Repeated every quarter to track what changes.

01 / A new layer of discovery

AI is becoming a new layer of discovery

People increasingly ask AI systems to narrow choices, compare providers and recommend businesses directly. Instead of opening a long list of search results, a user may receive only a small set of named recommendations.

The Dubai AI Visibility Report measures which businesses appear in those recommendation sets, and which do not.

Inside an AI recommendation
Dental clinics / You ask

What are the best dental clinics in Dubai for veneers?

ChatGPTSample answer

A useful shortlist would compare cosmetic experience, treatment planning and follow-up care. Here is how a recommendation could be presented:

  1. Clinic A

    A cosmetic-focused option to compare. Ask to see similar veneer cases and discuss the treatment plan.

  2. Clinic B

    A broader dental team to consider. Compare the consultation, aftercare and full cost.

  3. Clinic C

    Another option for a consultation. Check professional credentials and patient feedback.

Compare consultations before choosing a clinic.

Still have a question?
01What is AI visibility?

AI visibility measures how frequently and how prominently a business appears when users ask AI platforms questions related to its industry.

The Q4 2026 study covers ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude and Perplexity. The published methodology will specify the exact product surfaces and test settings used.

20 questions per industry, 600 in total. Each question is run three times on each of four AI platforms, which gives 7,200 AI answers.

05Why is each question run three times?

AI answers vary between sessions. Repeating each question gives a more stable result than a single run.

10Are Lunasol clients treated differently?

No. A commercial relationship with Lunasol does not affect selection, scoring or ranking.

11Does a high AI Visibility Score mean a company is the best in its category?

No. The report measures AI recommendation visibility, not service quality, medical quality, investment performance or overall customer experience.

12Will the methodology be public?

Yes. The detailed methodology, scoring framework, prompt-design rules and research limitations will be published with the Q4 2026 results.

13Will there be future reports?

Yes. The benchmark is designed to be repeated quarterly so changes in AI visibility can be tracked over time.
