AI visibility for builders and contractors

Contractors, developers and building-material suppliers come to us with the same three problems: site progress is reported by phone; material orders are duplicated across sites; quotes are produced in Word and lost. Be the answer assistants give.

These are the queries where you should be the answer. Each one needs a page that answers it in the first paragraph, carries an author and a date, and is reachable by AI crawlers.

  • [service] contractor in [city]
  • cost to build [type] in [country]
  • [material] supplier [city]

  • Schema and llms.txtValidated JSON-LD and an llms.txt that tells crawlers what the site is for.

Questions people ask

Have you worked with builders and contractors before?
Our own products serve this sector directly, and the scoping sprint is designed to learn your process in two weeks rather than assume it.
Is the audit manual?
No. Crawl Audit is a tool. You enter a domain and it runs. Nobody reviews it by hand.
Do I need the service if I run the audit?
Not necessarily. Many teams fix the findings themselves with the free generators. The service is for teams who would rather we did it.
How is this different from SEO?
It overlaps. Search engines and assistants both read your site; assistants additionally weight entity records, answer structure and freshness.
