FAQ

AI search for property and real estate: questions

Do buyers and sellers use AI to choose an agent?

Increasingly, yes. AI tools give a short list of agencies with reasons, which makes being on that list valuable.

Does being on property portals help?

It helps, because AI reads portals. But AI also uses your own site, reviews and local coverage, so portals alone are not enough.

Can AI recommend our new developments?

Yes, if there is clear, accurate information about them online. We help make sure there is.

How do you measure progress?

We test the same questions every month and show you how often AI mentions you, links to you and describes you correctly.
