Outlined: a list, directory, booking site or forum. Crossed out: a foreign directory with nothing to do with Sofia. ## Four lessons for psychologists and therapists in Sofia - ### Nobody was named by all three The assistants named 81 psychologists, therapists and centres. Not one was named by all three, and only 6 by two of them. - ### No Google map at all Google showed no map for any of our four questions. With nothing to copy, the assistants read Superdoc (34 citations), Reddit (32) and therapist directories such as complicated.life, TherapyRoute and Healee. - ### English speakers get named through Reddit For an English-speaking therapist, Vessy Tasheva and Anna Joukivskaia came up in 6 of 9 answers each. Expat threads on Reddit and international directories did the work. - ### One assistant, its own favourite The most named practice, Център „Динамика“ (Dynamika Centre), came up in 10 answers, all of them from Gemini. ChatGPT and Perplexity never named it. ## What the assistants got wrong - ### A therapist linked to a hair salon - A therapist's name came with a link to a hair salon's Instagram page. - ### Prices in leva - 9 answers still gave the price of a session in leva. ## What practices in Sofia can do **0** of 6 checked on your site 1. ### Complete your Superdoc profile Superdoc was cited 34 times. Say what you work with, how you work and what a session costs. 2. ### Be listed in the therapist directories complicated.life, TherapyRoute and Healee were read again and again. 3. ### Create a Google Business Profile Google showed no map at all for our questions. A practice with a proper profile has an open field. 4. ### Say what you help with, in plain words Anxiety, couples, children: the question decides the answer. A page per topic gets read. 5. ### Add an English page The English question brought a different list almost every time. Say in English what you offer and who speaks English. 6. ### Ask the assistants about yourself every month The four questions on this page are a good start. Fix any wrong fact where it comes from. ## Questions ### Which psychologist in Sofia does AI recommend? There is no agreement: of 81 psychologists, therapists and centres named, none was named by all three assistants. The answer depends on which assistant you ask. ### How can practices in Sofia get recommended by ChatGPT? ChatGPT leans on Google Maps, so start with a complete and exact Google Business Profile. Then use one name everywhere, be on the lists the assistants read for your sector, and say plainly on your own site what you do and what it costs, in euro. ### How did you test this? We asked ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity the four questions on this page, three times each, on 30 October 2026, and searched the same questions on Google from Sofia.
