Too few websites for a detailed breakdown
Detailed breakdowns are withheld for North Dakota
This jurisdiction has 96 audited domains, below the 100-domain floor. Grade distribution, category averages, per-metric rates, and city-market cuts are withheld because the sample is too small for reliable sub-analysis. Use the national study for the full-cohort findings.
Methodology and limitations
What this study measures—and what it does not
Cohort. The completed production run covered 109,408 matched practice-location candidates across 71,323 normalized domains. Website-level findings use one deterministic representative candidate for each of the 50,405 successfully crawled domains, avoiding duplicate-domain weighting.
Collection window. Public pages were crawled on 2–3 August 2026 using methodology dps-37-v1. The bounded HTTP crawler inspected robots.txt, sitemap signals, the homepage, and up to two linked internal pages. Browser rendering was not used for this index run.
Scoring. The DentalPresence Score averages four deterministic category scores. Three Local SEO inputs—Google Business Profile, cross-directory NAP consistency, and service coverage—were not evaluated in this open-data backfill, so the Local SEO average is partial and upward-biased.
Detection limits. A signal not detected in three pages may exist elsewhere, be injected only after JavaScript rendering, or use markup the parser did not recognize. The high “orphan page” result was excluded from headline recommendations because a bounded crawl cannot establish sitewide orphan status reliably.
Sampling. This is a large matched open-place cohort, not a probability sample of every U.S. dental office. It should not be used to estimate national market share or infer the quality of any individual practice.
No causal claims. The study did not use rankings, traffic, conversions, clinical data, credentials, safety records, or patient outcomes. A failed check is an observable website signal, not proof of lost revenue or poor care.
