Improve AI-search eligibility with the same foundations that help useful search content: crawlable pages, clear business identity, accurate local expertise and evidence for important claims. No markup, file or writing formula guarantees an assistant recommendation. Measure actual referrals and qualified enquiries, and treat controlled prompt checks as observations rather than rankings.
What can a brokerage control?
You control whether a visitor or crawler can find the page, whether it answers a real question and whether its claims can be checked. You do not control which business an assistant names, which sources it cites or how a response varies between users.
Google’s AI-search guidance emphasizes established search foundations and useful, reliable content. It does not require a special AI schema or an llms.txt file. Structured data should describe what the visitor can actually see; it is not a recommendation guarantee.
Publish evidence that helps a property buyer decide
A local page should explain who the brokerage serves, what work it performs and what evidence supports the claims. An area guide becomes more useful when it contains observations the team can substantiate: dated site visits, clearly identified sources, realistic trade-offs and an explanation of who the area suits.
| Page element | Useful evidence |
|---|---|
| Business identity | Consistent legal name, contact information and verifiable authorization details |
| Area expertise | Specific, dated observations with the limits of the comparison explained |
| Process advice | Links to the responsible government or service source |
| Property information | Current status and documented permission to advertise |
| Authorship | A real author or reviewer with a truthful role and a way to understand the methodology |
Do not invent first-hand experience, awards or a reviewer to make a page look authoritative. If a price or rule has not been checked, say so or omit the assertion.
Write for the question without following a magic word count
Put the useful answer where the reader expects it, then explain the conditions and supporting evidence. Headings, tables and lists can make a comparison easier to use, but they do not force an assistant to quote the page. Avoid repeating the same answer across dozens of city pages with only the place name changed.
For a question such as “How do I choose a broker for an off-plan purchase?”, explain the selection criteria, checks and trade-offs. A claim that your own brokerage is universally the best adds little without credible evidence.
Fix discovery before adding more content
Check that the page returns a normal response, has an appropriate canonical URL, appears through internal links and is included in the sitemap if intended for indexing. Keep important content in the rendered page, and check for accidental crawler blocks or noindex directives.
A crawlable page is eligible to be considered, not assured of indexing or citation. Use the relevant search platform’s inspection and reporting tools where available.
Measure business outcomes carefully
Create a baseline before changing content. Track landing pages, identifiable referral sources, enquiry actions and qualified outcomes. Some assistant traffic loses its referrer or arrives later through another channel, so referral reports are incomplete.
| Measurement | What it can tell you | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Search impressions and clicks | Whether search visibility is changing | Does not prove enquiries or revenue |
| Identified assistant referrals | Visits carrying a recognizable source | Misses unattributed and later visits |
| Enquiry attribution | Which pages preceded contact | A visit can involve several sources |
| Sample prompt checks | What a particular response said at a particular time | Results vary; it is not a stable ranking |
Keep a log of substantive page changes and compare similar periods. Follow the enquiry through the CRM to a qualified need, viewing or completed deal; do not report every page visit as a new client.
Where WIYO fits
WIYO publishes this guide and sells brokerage software. A CRM can help retain lead source and follow-up history, but it does not make external assistants recommend the business. Confirm the exact attribution fields and integrations with your analytics and CRM setup.

Frequently asked questions
Does FAQ schema guarantee an AI recommendation?
No. Markup should match visible content and the applicable search guidelines. It cannot compel indexing, citation or a recommendation.
Is llms.txt required for Google’s AI features?
Google’s published guidance does not make it a requirement. Prioritize accessible pages, helpful content and sound search fundamentals.
Can I claim that an assistant cited me as a personal endorsement?
A citation shows that a source was referenced in that response. It should not be presented as a universal endorsement or an assurance that the business is best for every buyer.
How long until this produces clients?
There is no reliable universal timeline or guaranteed result. Establish a baseline, improve the pages, measure discovery and follow the enquiries through qualification and sales.
