Reputation & Reviews
15 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-05: 23 five-star, 2 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 1 one-star. The buckets sum to 26, matching the 26 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.769 reproduces the published 4.8. [gmp1] | 4/6 |

| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Owner replied to one of the three visible reviews. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Page 'Mariyam Dental Clinic', 861 followers, no reviews enabled, address AC15 Albarka Arisekola Shopping Complex opposite Bodija Market, Ojurin, Ibadan and phone +234 901 133 2839 both match the card and the Maps listing.
