These could include detailed buyer and seller information, apt for your target market, along with FAQs.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your content matches the kind of prompts or questions your market would use in AI chat<\/li>\n<li>keep pages of information accessible by giving them headings, keeping paragraphs short with easy topic headings and information broken down into bullet points.<\/li>\n<li>As bots can cut straight to a property, bypassing your agency home page, ensure your property specs contain detailed descriptions. These could include references to lifestyle and, as above, use topic headings and bullet pointed lists.<\/li>\n<li>Make the most of your company\u2019s online reviews (e.g. from Google, Trustpilot etc) and ensure any industry awards, contributions to publications and so on are prominent for the bots to find.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your site meets key tech specs, for example, allowing crawler bots to access relevant, non-sensitive information and using HTML for your core detail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a9<a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertysurveying.co.uk\/INDEX\/INDEX1.html\">www.PropertySurveying.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI and Estate Agents In 1589, Queen Elizabeth 1 refused a patent for a mechanical knitting machine, fearing the unemployment it could cause.\u00a0 Arguably, she thereby set back the industrial revolution by two centuries.
