#7 of 69 in the Denver metro · #6 of 10 for orthodontics
Built from 5 of 5 evidence areas covering 97% of the index. Scored September 29 with engine spi-2026.09-v2.3-google-ig.
How 76 points are built
SPI = Σ (part score × part weight) ÷ Σ weights of parts we could measure. Parts we can't measure yet are left out, not guessed. That's why confidence is 97%.
| Part | Score | Weight used | Points | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reputation | 92 | 30% | 28.5 | measured |
| Social reach & activity | 45 | 17% | 7.9 | partial |
| Website & technical SEO | 86 | 20% | 17.7 | measured |
| Data accuracy (NPPES) | 88 | 15% | 13.6 | measured |
| Social footprint | 56 | 15% | 8.7 | measured |
| Dental360Hub Index | 97% | 76 |
Rating is adjusted toward the metro average when reviews are few, so 5.0★ from 8 reviews can't beat 4.8★ from 800.
