AI Visibility Audit for real estate · AI Discovery Intelligence

AI Visibility for Real Estate: when a buyer or seller asks AI where to list, what it is worth, or who to call, is it you?

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity what their home is worth, the best area to buy in, or the right agent to call, the engine answers - from whatever AVM, portal, or review site it trusts. If that is not you, the highest-intent moment in the transaction just happened somewhere you cannot see.

28 Labs measures your share of AI recommendations for the queries that produce listings and buyer leads, ties it to your real traffic and CPL, and hands your teams the moves to win it back.

Measured from the outside. No SDK in your rendering path. We do not measure training-data exposure - and we say so.

The queries that move listings and leads

scored

"what's my home worth in {city}" High intent
"best real estate agent in {area}" High intent
"homes for sale near me under {budget}" High intent
"how does the closing process work" Low value

A real-estate brand has tens of thousands of meaningful buyer and seller queries. We score each by commercial intent and track the set that drives leads, not the explainer long tail.

The shift

An AI engine is valuing the home and naming the agent for your buyer. You cannot see the choice, but you are already paying for it.

01

You are blind to it

When someone asks an engine what a home is worth or who to call, it answers off your property. You do not know if your valuation and your agents came back, or a competitor's.

02

It is already costing you

The seller's first number and the buyer's first shortlist now come from whoever the engine trusts. When that is not you, leads soften and you rebuy them as paid.

03

We make it visible

We measure your share of AI recommendations across the high-intent valuation, availability, and agent queries on all four engines, then tie it to your traffic and CPL.

The board-level risk

Four ways an answer engine re-competes for a real-estate firm at once.

A real-estate firm's moat is being the place buyers and sellers go to value, discover, and decide who to deal with. Answer engines now sit in front of all three. The exposure is specific, and it is measurable.

Valuation capture

"What's my home worth / is this overpriced" gets answered from third-party automated valuations, so the seller's anchor number comes from someone else.

Lead disintermediation

"Best brokerage / agents near me" names competitors directly; the lead that used to land on your site starts in a chat window.

Listing discovery off-platform

"Homes for sale in {area}" is answered from whichever source the engine trusts - which may not be your inventory, even when it is freshest.

Reputation leakage

"Is {agent/developer} reputable" gets decided by review aggregators and forums - a trust verdict rendered about you, without you.

Every figure we put against these is anonymised and confidence-tagged. We show the pattern and the magnitude; we never expose another firm's numbers to make the point.

The query universe

Not five queries per listing. Tens of thousands - scored by what they are worth.

A real-estate firm's buyers and sellers do not ask four questions. They ask thousands, across a journey. The work is not to track 50,000 random queries. It is to score every query by commercial intent and monitor the high-intent ones that actually produce listings and leads, mapped to where the buyer is in the decision.

01
Research
"is it a buyer's or seller's market"
02
Area / Comparison
"best neighborhoods in {city} for families"
03
Valuation
"what's my home worth"
04
Availability
"homes for sale near me under {budget}"
05
Agent / Trust
"best realtor in {area}"
06
Action
"how to list my home / get pre-approved"

Valuation, availability, and agent-choice queries carry the listings and leads; process-explainer queries carry almost none. We weight what you track to where the money is - so the share number you read is the one that matters to the business, not a vanity average across the long tail.

The decision system

Your share of AI recommendations - and what it is doing to your traffic and CPL.

Most tools stop at "you were cited less." That is a metric, not a decision. We frame it as market share - the share of high-intent recommendations you hold against the competitor taking them - and we connect that share to the numbers your business already runs on.

How we keep it honest

We model the contribution. We never fake the precision.

No one can prove a single AI recommendation caused a single lead. Anyone who claims they can is selling certainty that does not exist. We treat it the way marketing-mix modeling treats a channel: we estimate the contribution from converging signals and we label the confidence of every read, so your analysts can audit any claim back to the evidence behind it.

When a read is directly observed in your own data, we say so. When it is inferred, we say so. When it rests on industry intelligence, we say that too. You never get a confident-sounding number with nothing under it.

HIGH

Directly observed. The signal is present in your own logs, CDP, or AI-engine output. We saw it happen.

MED

Inferred. Multiple independent signals converge on the same read, but no single source confirms it outright.

LOW

Industry intelligence. The read rests on category benchmarks and external patterns, not your own data. Treated as directional.

In your stack

Infrastructure, not a quarterly slide.

This is not a deck that ages the day it ships. It is a live read wired into the systems you already run, so the share number and its business impact stay current as the engines re-crawl and your competitors move.

Wired in, not bolted on

The integrated engagement connects to your logs, CDP, and paid feeds, so the AI-share read sits next to the traffic and CPL data your teams already trust. No SDK in your rendering path.

Real-time flags plus monthly

You get a flag when your share on a high-intent query set moves sharply or a competitor surges, and a monthly read that tracks the trend and ties it to traffic and CPL. Not once a quarter, on a slide.

Every read confidence-tagged

HIGH, MED, or LOW on every finding, so the team acting on it knows exactly how much weight it carries before committing engineering or budget against it.

Honest about the tiers. The live read on how much of your traffic and CPL movement is AI needs your first-party data - your logs, CDP, and paid feeds. That is the integrated, enterprise engagement, not a free snapshot. A standalone audit measures your share of AI recommendations across the four engines from the outside and shows where you are losing ground and to whom. The traffic-and-CPL loop comes when we wire into your systems.

What winning takes

Winning AI recommendations in real estate is a data-distribution problem, not a content one.

A real-estate firm wins when it becomes the source the engines trust to answer the category. That is structural. More blog posts will not do it. Being the authoritative, reachable source for the data buyers and sellers actually ask about will.

We diagnose where the engines already trust you, where they trust a competitor instead, and the specific moves that shift that trust toward you. The output is a build plan your teams can act on, not a list of keywords.
