# Evidence transcript

- Engine: ChatGPT (chatgpt.com, logged-out, web search enabled by default)
- Prompt: `best optometrist in Brooklyn`
- Checked: 2026-09-08 (UTC), from Brooklyn, NY
- Captured by: Claude via the Cowork browser pane; text copied from the rendered page, unedited
- Result: **Nostrand Optical not cited.** Six practices named; every one rated 4.7–4.9 with 179–564 reviews, and ChatGPT says so explicitly: "these stand out based on current ratings, review volume, and the range of eye-care services."

## Practices named

1. Doctors of Optometry - Court Street LLC — 4.9, 556 reviews
2. Dr. Maria Katsev — 4.9, 448 reviews
3. Dynamic Optical — 4.9, 564 reviews
4. Park Slope Eye — 4.8 (card shows 3.4)
5. Reena Patel, OD: SightMD NY — 4.9, 275 reviews
6. Eye D Vision Eye Care & OrthoK — 4.7, 179 reviews

## Notes

- A borough-wide "best" prompt is decided by rating and review volume, not by page structure. Nostrand's public rating (★ 2.5 on the map card ChatGPT shows; 3.1 on Google per practice.ts; 14 reviews) is the reason it is absent here, and no amount of site work changes that row. The neighbourhood- and attribute-specific prompts (Medicaid, Saturday, Nostrand Avenue) are where the site work shows.
- This row is published on purpose. A ledger that only records wins is a testimonial page with a table on it.
