01
Portfolio status is ambiguous
Unbuilt concepts, competition entries, design documentation and constructed buildings are different achievements. Dates and actual responsibilities must be visible.
Real estate / Architecture and design
AI recommendation visibility for architecture and design firms
Clients may ask AI to recommend a design firm for a housing development concept, an office project or industrial working documentation. I measure these selection queries against the firm's actual building types, design stages, team roles and evidenced project experience.
- Distinct buyer prompts by building type, project stage and geography
- Portfolio records separating concepts, design deliverables and completed buildings
- Qualification evidence and repeat BMR tracking
Selection barriers
What stops AI from identifying the right design practice
The broad phrase 'full-service design' does not tell a client which work stages and responsibilities the firm really covers.
02
Stages are conflated
Concept design, statutory design documentation, working drawings and construction-stage services have distinct deliverables and contracts.
03
Qualifications are unsupported
SRO membership, BIM proficiency and lead-designer claims require applicable records and evidence; a generic badge is insufficient.
Buyer intents
How design clients search for a suitable practice
Each buyer intent is checked against actual past projects and proposed deliverables.
| Client question | Evidence to check | GEO improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Who designs public-building concepts? | Comparable assignments and the firm's actual contribution | Project pages with role, stage and supporting evidence |
| Who can prepare design and working documentation? | Contract scope, stages, credentials where legally required | Differentiate deliverables and applicable qualifications |
| Which practices use BIM for residential developments? | Real model workflows, delivery stages and usable examples | Explain actual information-modelling outputs |
| We need a lead designer for an industrial facility | Building-type experience and multi-discipline coordination | Show documented coordination roles and relevant case examples |
Verifiable facts
Evidence for architectural and engineering expertise
Article 48 of the Russian Town Planning Code distinguishes design and working documentation; individual-home requirements are not identical to large capital projects. Article 55.8 sets out conditions for SRO-member rights with statutory exceptions. These texts guide verification, but do not establish any particular firm's project history.
- Portfolio: building type, design stage, dates, actual contribution and permission to publish
- Competence: architecture, engineering disciplines and verifiable information-modelling practices
- Rights and responsibility: SRO applicability, contract duties and lead-designer scope
GAEO brings real-estate GEO methodology, not a claimed measured outcome for an architecture-firm client.
Methods and sources
Scope of work
My GEO programme for architecture practices
I pair project-specific commercial demand with documented expertise and accurate wording.
Map the target questions
Separate concept design, technical documentation, BIM, lead design and construction-stage roles.
Audit portfolio evidence
Verify stage, year, authorial contribution, source and publication rights for each project.
Improve structured content
Plan specialism pages, project records, service-stage explanations and relevant expert references.
Measure recommendation quality
Repeat non-brand questions and track BMR alongside accuracy of AI descriptions.

FAQ
Questions about the service
Can a practice promote concepts without completed buildings?
Yes, if their stage and unbuilt status are explicit. Visualisations must not be labelled as built projects.
Does every design assignment legally require SRO membership?
No. Specific contract types and statutory exceptions determine applicability. Each claim should be verified against the applicable rules.
Is adding 'BIM' to a services list enough?
No. Describe the actual process, model outputs, project stages and team responsibilities.
How do you measure GEO for architects?
We track a fixed set of buyer questions, BMR, accuracy of specialism attribution and reference to real projects.
What does architectural GEO cost?
The published GAEO audit and monthly plans apply. The scope depends on building types, services, jurisdictions and target queries.
