Get Found by Home Buyers & Sellers — on Google and AI Assistants

Look for an agent who knows your local market well — ideally one who has handled sales in your neighborhood recently. Check that they offer a clear valuation process, explain their marketing approach (online listings, open houses, professional photos), and are transparent about their fees and mandate terms.

A property valuation typically includes an in-person visit, an analysis of recent comparable sales in your area, and a review of your property's features and condition. The agent then provides an estimated market price and usually recommends a listing strategy. Most independent agents offer this service free of charge as part of a seller mandate.

A seller's agent (or listing agent) represents the homeowner and focuses on marketing the property, attracting buyers, and negotiating the best sale price. A buyer's agent represents the purchaser, helps identify suitable properties, arranges viewings, and negotiates on the buyer's behalf. Some independent agents handle both roles, though not on the same transaction.

Fees vary by agent, region, and property type, but independent agents typically charge a commission of 3% to 6% of the final sale price, paid upon completion. Some agents offer fixed-fee mandates. Always ask for the fee structure in writing before signing a mandate.

Yes. An agent can still add value by handling the legal paperwork, ensuring the sale price reflects fair market value, and managing the negotiation process professionally — even if buyer and seller already know each other. This can protect both parties and help avoid disputes down the line.

The scan reviews how clearly your website communicates key information: your geographic coverage area, the services you offer (valuations, buyer or seller mandates, etc.), your contact details, and how well-structured your pages are for both search engines and AI assistants. You receive a plain-language report with prioritized action points.

It depends on the changes made and how frequently search engines and AI systems re-index your site. Some improvements — like clearer contact information or a better-described service area — can be picked up within days, while others take several weeks. CrawlReady identifies the opportunities; timelines vary by site and market.

No — and any tool that promises a specific ranking should be treated with caution. What the audit does is reveal the technical and content gaps that may be holding your site back, and give you a clear checklist to address them. Better visibility is the goal; a guaranteed position is something no tool can honestly promise.
