Based on 26 audited dental websites in Northern Territory, from 37 attempted domains. Cohort dps-37-v1.
Browse the Northern Territory practice directoryNorthern Territory practices scored a median of 75.50, 2.50 points above the national median of 73. The Northern Territory sample contains 26 audited websites, so grade, category, market, and metric-level comparisons are suppressed.

Too few websites for a detailed breakdown
Detailed breakdowns are withheld for Northern Territory
This jurisdiction has 26 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 Australia study for the full-cohort findings.
Methodology and limitations
What this study measures—and what it does not
Cohort. The completed production run attempted 8,365 normalized Australia practice domains and successfully audited 6,313 of them. Website-level findings use one deterministic representative candidate per domain, avoiding duplicate-domain weighting.
Collection window. Public pages were crawled on 23–24 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 Australia dental practice. 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.
