GEO Playbook · Dental & Aesthetics Edition · Chapter 5 (9 of 13)

Writing pages (4): clinic details, credentials and trust pages, plus pre-publish checks

Branch pages first, licence and registration checks, and the three checks before going live

The Dental & Aesthetics Edition only covers what differs from the General Edition. Links marked “→ General Edition” go straight to the matching General Edition section.

5.16 ⑪ Store / branch page: the safest page for dental, built first

What you'll do in this section: build a facts page for every branch — address, day-by-day opening hours, phone number, the doctor's registration fields — with not a single adjective. Once it's live, bring every directory site's listing into line with it word for word: only then do location questions such as "where is it, is it open on Sunday" go to the clinic's own website instead of a directory site.

Figure: Block order on the branch page; what AI copies is the whole address line and the day-by-day hours — it doesn't read the body text

The store / branch page is the safest page type in dental: the whole page holds only the address, hours, phone number and the doctor's registration fields. It touches neither price nor outcomes and needs not a single adjective, which is why it belongs in the first batch of pages a clinic puts live. The doctor's line states only the SDC / SMC-approved qualifications and registration number, with no qualifiers such as "senior" or "extensive experience".

Yes, matches the directory

No

Yes, but conflicts with the directory

Is there an official branch page?

Own site wins

Directory wins

Directory listing downgraded on the spot

Figure: Whether the clinic's website or the directory wins a location question depends on whether an official branch page exists and matches the directory

This figure rests on a single sample (n = 1) and is directional only: the same clinic's directory listing was copied by AI as fact in one round; in another round, because it didn't match the current information published elsewhere, AI flagged it as unreliable and said to phone and confirm first (evidence: → General Edition A.4 Page-type measurements (2): tier B and C samples, and the AI Mode retest list). So once the branch page is live, edit every directory listing word for word to match it. General write-up: → General Edition 5.26 Tier-B entity and product facts types (1): branches, verification pages, directory listings.

Example (dental) Three lines from the footer of one clinic's branch page — Sunday hours, unit number, phone number — were copied verbatim into an AI answer table. Three conditions got it into the table: one URL per branch; Sunday hours on their own line, with a specific time written out (write 9.30am, not a vague phrase like "by appointment"); and the address includes an MRT station name.

5.17 ㉚ Verification and lookup page and ㊴ licence wall

What you'll do in this section: move the official register lookup link onto your own page and treat it as your safest trust asset; on the licence wall, list only licences and registration numbers that state the issuing authority and the validity period; and on both pages, link only to official bodies, never to a manufacturer locator.

㉚ Verification and lookup page㊴ Licence wall

The whole page states facts only, no claimsEvery entry states the issuing authority and validity period

RequiredOptionalAI quotes this
Figure: Verification and lookup page; its value is the citation slot at the end of the answer — for the register version, what's copied is the sentence on its statutory authority

The blueprint above is for the register's own page; what the clinic builds is its downstream page: put the registration number and a link to that page on your own site, and leave verification to the official body.

The linking rule is the most rigidly worded: you must not link to any commercial company, so a clear-aligner manufacturer's "find a doctor" locator cannot be linked [Statute text; see Appendix A.2] — the only permitted link is to a government register [Conservative line (not statute text)] (see 1.5). The most common mistake is copying the manufacturer-locator pattern and linking back to the brand's own website on the page — which runs straight into the ethical code's own sentence (must not).

Example (dental) The sentence AI copied into its answer from the Singapore Dental Council (SDC) website was this one: all dentists must be registered and hold a valid practising certificate before they practise, and the register can be searched on the SDC website.

Every entry on the licence wall is a factual statement and doesn't trigger the advertising rules. Technical-standard certification (for example, an equipment or process certification such as ISO 13485) has its own restriction on where it may appear: only on the clinic's own website and its own social media, never on brochures, letterhead or test reports [Statute text; see Appendix A.1]; see 1.6, category 2, for how to write it. General write-up: → General Edition 5.27 Tier-B entity and product facts types (2): compliance proof, terms, how-to docs and integrations.

5.18 ㉛ Visit process page, ㉟ partners page, ㉑ privacy policy page

What you'll do in this section: all three types appear as equivalents — the visit process page states steps only, never outcomes; the partners page states clearly which institutions, insurers and payment methods you work with, but never links out; the privacy policy page states that it's based on the PDPA and gives its scope, and the section numbers go in only after legal has checked them [Original text not obtained].

Write it with the General Edition's four fields: object list, direction, prerequisites, not-supported items. You may name the partner, but you may not link to them [Statute text; see Appendix A.2]; outbound links go only to government and regulator pages [Conservative line (not statute text)] (see 1.5).

Figure: Vendor legal terms page; AI copies the commitment sentence that names the country or jurisdiction

A clinic has no vendor terms page; its equivalent is the personal data and confidentiality policy page. Write it to the blueprint above: the commitment sentence states that it's based on the PDPA and gives its scope, and the section numbers go in only after legal has checked them [Original text not obtained].

5.19 Rules and policy types: ⑩ ㉓ ㉖ ㉞ ㊵ ㊺

What you'll do in this section: a clinic is not the source of the regulation, so these six types are only downstream pages that "quote verbatim + link back to the original + mark a check date"; schedule them as trust assets, not traffic pages; don't use an official statement to imply endorsement, don't use a new rule to solicit, and don't turn "correcting a misconception" into a veiled dig at peers.

What must I do, what's the penalty

What did the official reply say

The full policy picture

The rule changed

Is a popular claim true

The benchmark or subsidy changed

Three no-go areas

What is the buyer asking?

⑩ Regulation summary page

㉓ Official reply restatement page

㉖ Policy hub page

㉞ Change notice page

㊵ Misconception page

㊺ Policy explainer page

Quote verbatim, link back, mark check date

Implied endorsement · soliciting · digs at peers

Figure: Each of the six kinds of rules question gets its own page type, but all six are built as the same downstream citation page, with the same no-go areas

General write-up: → General Edition 5.23 Tier-B questions and rules types (1): regulatory obligations, definitions, → General Edition 5.25 Tier-B questions and rules types (3): schedules, collected FAQ, policy hubs, change notices, misconceptions, → General Edition 5.28 Tier-B primary sources (1): legislation, regulator guidance, official replies, device documents, case law. Below, each type states only the one extra rule dental adds.

⑩ Regulation summary page (pt10)

H1a noun phrase naming the obligation, or a judgement sentence, no year
Date line"Last updated" in the first-screen body text, not the footer
First-screen obligation sentence35–90 words right under H1: from date X / who / what must be doneAI quotes this

RequiredOptionalAI quotes this
Figure: Regulatory obligations and penalties page; AI copies the obligation sentence right under H1

The blueprint is for the regulator's own obligations page; the clinic builds a summary of it. In our measurements, regulation summary pages were not cited even once, so schedule this type as a trust asset, not as a traffic page.

㉓ Official reply restatement page (pt23)

RequiredAI quotes this
Figure: Change notice page; AI copies "from date X, the new practice replaces the old"

State only the rule itself and its effective date, never a price increase or decrease, or an original price with a discount (see 1.2). What you may write is a neutral statement such as "<service> has been S$X, its final tax-inclusive price, since <date>; before that it was quoted on a different basis" — and every such sentence needs client confirmation first, because only the client knows whether a price is the final tax-inclusive price (see 1.1, category 1). Write any change to a subsidy limit such as Medisave or CHAS as its own separate section (see 1.3).

㊵ Misconception page (pt40)

H1 opposing-pair phraseone line
Single H2the only H2 on the whole page

Fact sentence + footnotewith subject + amount + effective dateAI quotes this
RequiredAI quotes this
Figure: Misconception page; each entry carries its own context and does not follow the first-30% rule

This is one of the few page types where a clinic may write a "conclusion" — because the conclusion comes from the regulation, not from the clinic's own claim. Every factual sentence must match the regulator's original wording word for word and carry a source reference number. Never turn the "misconception" into a veiled dig at peers: a line like "some clinics say..." is a comparison, and that's a violation (see 1.5).

㊺ Policy explainer page (pt45)

titleAn assertion-style title, with an event clause and a claim clause
introNo heading, 3–5 sentences, 80–120 words: date + event → the bet we're making → headline number → a lesson sentence that leads with a negative
H2 Key findings4–5 items, one sentence each, 20–40 words, third-party findings first, the last item states our own limits
H2 What happened120–200 words, past tense, zero adjectives
H2 Why the mechanism matters150–220 words, one study per paragraph, each with its source
H2 Our own evidence180–260 words, evidence table
H2 What the reader should do5–6 bullets, noun-phrase labels, no product names, no using the topic for solicitingRegulated
H2 Our own positioning80–130 words
H2 Method and limitations60–110 words, one paragraph
FAQExactly 3 items, questions phrased as objections, every answer opens with a negative sentence
RequiredOptionalRegulated
Figure: block order for the news and policy explainer page (the whole diagram is not measured, spec taken from an external teardown, no block marked cite)

You may write an explainer such as "the MOH fee benchmark / Medisave limit has changed — what should patients do?" Put government figures in their own section, stating the table number and the date they were updated (see 1.3). Never use a new rule to solicit — a line like "so it's better value to come to us now" is a direct violation. This type has no cited sample yet in dental (n = 0); the closest reference point: a clarification piece published by the regulator itself was cited, while a commercial site's page of the same type was never cited once (measured sample).

5.20 Data types: ⑲ own clinical data page and ⑱ compliance long-form PDF

What you'll do in this section: only build the statistics source page if you have your own clinical data; every number passes the six checks first, then a written compliance sign-off, and "success rate" is banned throughout; the compliance long-form piece can be built as a PDF with a question-style table of contents, and any price inside that PDF is bound by the same rules as a webpage.

RequiredOptionalAI quotes thisDon't
Figure: Statistics source page; AI copies the paired restatement sentence in the conclusion and the chart caption that carries the basis

It has to clear two checks because publishing clinical data is itself regulated under the Healthcare Services Act. For the six checks, see → General Edition 5.10 Shared parts for all page types: six checks for numbers, no public price, billing units, dates and schema. For a figure such as "this clinic's follow-up rate across N cases of a given procedure", state the definition, the denominator, the period measured, how the sample was chosen, the calculation method and whether it may be published — never give a bare percentage. Proactively state the old basis for the same question as well, and explain why it should carry less weight. General write-up: → General Edition 5.29 Tier-B primary sources (2): statistics sources, registers.

Example (dental) In a Singapore adult oral health survey paper, what AI copied was the sentence in the conclusion that restates the figures side by side (77.6%); only the second figure, 56.9%, came from the results section. A statistics question has only one correct answer, and what AI wants is the sentence that carries the year, the survey name and the sample size.

⑱ Compliance long-form PDF (pt18)

Coverguidance's full name + version + revision date
Question-style contents pageevery line a question in the buyer's own words + page numberAI quotes this
Numbered body paragraphsevery paragraph numbered, so it can be cited precisely

RequiredAI quotes thisDon't
Figure: Regulator guidance PDF; a Chinese-language question hits the matching question on the contents page

A price that appears inside the PDF is bound by the same final-price rule as a price on a webpage (see 1.2) — compliance follows the content, not the file format.

Don't schedule market-observation long-form pieces (see 0.3): a clinic has no first-party market data, so writing one produces empty theorising and slides easily into promotion.

5.21 Handing over: dental's three gates and common mistakes

What you'll do in this section: every page first clears the General Edition's five steps and self-check; dental adds three more gates on top — the compliance hard gate ticked off item by item, a reviewer's sign-off for medical pages, and a delivery note that states "removed X, replaced with Y"; self-check line by line against the table below before launch.

  1. Gate 1Compliance hard gateSeven items ticked off one by one; the checklist is the tables in 1.2–1.5
  2. Gate 2Professional reviewMedical pages signed off by a reviewer, remedy pages in the right order
  3. Gate 3Delivery noteEvery edit states "removed X, replaced with Y"
Figure: After the General Edition's five steps, clear three more gates; fail any one and it goes back for a rewrite

Gate 1's seven items: no "from" price (From); no price range; no After Medisave; no outbound link to a manufacturer; no superlatives; no price that needs an examination first written as if it were final; and the brand name isn't forced into every H2.

Gate 2's fixed order for a remedy page: what to do now → red flags → what not to self-diagnose → examination → pathway → cost. The sign-off here is a medical-accuracy review, a different thing from the written compliance sign-off in 1.1. The compliance sign-off resolves only the three stop-and-escalate situations listed in 1.1; it never turns something banned as Statute text into something publishable.

Gate 3 covers "what to fill in after you remove something": if you remove a testimonial, a star rating or before-and-after images, take material from the seven kinds of checkable facts in 1.6 and fill it back into the same slot. A draft that removes without refilling is sent back for insufficient density; it is not waved through as a compliance pass.

MistakeFix
Writing a "from" price, a range, or After MedisaveA clearly defined service + the final tax-inclusive price
Tiers labelled only "mild / moderate / complex"Each tier states its defining conditions and what's included
Official benchmark and the clinic's own price side by sideA separate section after the table, with no clinic price inside it
Brand name inserted into the first sentence of every H2Brand appears only in four places: price subject, provider, byline, organisation facts
Writing "free examination" or "first consultation free"A fixed price for the examination itself
Organisation section claims "most cases" or "extensive experience"A clearly defined operating fact
Removed the testimonials and before-and-after images, leaving only empty fillerFill the slot back in from the seven kinds of checkable facts
A remedy page that leads with the causeLead with what to do now and the red flags
Figure: The most common mistakes on dental hand-over, and how to fix them

Two rows in the table leave no room for negotiation: wording like "Highest volume" or "Extensive experience" is a direct violation in dental; these words are listed verbatim in the official list of laudatory terms [Statute text; see Appendix A.1]. Putting the official benchmark and the clinic's own price side by side in the same table is Statute text, and no sign-off can unlock it; in the same paragraph or an adjacent one, it falls under the 1.3 conservative line instead (basis and label in 1.3; the same-table side-by-side rule is in Appendix A.1).

For the five steps per page, the red line on lying, and the General Edition's self-check list, see → General Edition 5.31 Handing over: five steps per page, the red line on lying, and self-checks; for the general table of common mistakes, see → General Edition 5.32 Master table of common mistakes.
