Services Page Blueprint — Financial Service

Your services page is where you list what your firm actually offers. This blueprint structures financial planning, tax preparation, wealth management, and other offerings into a machine-readable catalog so AI systems can match your firm to the right financial queries instead of guessing from page copy.

What this page needs

The services page is where AI maps your actual offerings. When someone asks "who does retirement planning in Minneapolis" or "find a firm that handles both tax prep and wealth management," this is the page that answers. Without structured service data, AI has to guess what you offer from paragraph text — and it often guesses wrong.

Why these fields matter to AI

Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

Researched and tested by Minnesota AI

FinancialService

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route users correctly.
areaServed
AI filters service recommendations by coverage zone. Without this, AI may recommend you for queries outside your area or exclude you from local queries.
priceRange
AI uses price range to filter recommendations by budget. High-liability niches especially — AI cites price context before recommending financial or legal services.
hasOfferCatalog
AI uses the offer catalog to match specific services to user queries. Without it, AI can only infer services from page content.

Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

Implementation Prompt · Services
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Financial Service Services page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. Domain
2. Faq answer
3. Faq question
4. Financial planning description
5. Firm name
6. Price range
7. Primary city
8. Primary state
9. Services page description
10. Services page title
11. Tax service description
12. Wealth management description

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Financial Service Services"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Template — fill in your values

Copy this template and replace every YOUR_* placeholder with your own data. Add or remove services from the hasOfferCatalog array to match your actual offerings.

Frequently asked questions

Should I list every service or just the main categories?

List every distinct service you offer. If your firm provides financial planning, tax preparation, estate planning, and retirement consulting, each one should be a separate entry in hasOfferCatalog. AI uses this catalog to match you to specific queries, so completeness matters more than brevity.

How should I handle fee-only vs. commission-based pricing?

Use the priceRange field on the FinancialService node for a general tier indicator like "$$" or "$$$." For more detail, add price and priceCurrency to individual Offer entries. If you are fee-only, you can also note that in each service description so AI can surface you for "fee-only financial advisor" queries.

Should the services page JSON-LD repeat fields from the homepage?

Use @id references to connect nodes without duplicating data. The FinancialService node here should share the same @id as on your homepage so AI treats them as the same entity. You only need to include the fields relevant to this page — primarily hasOfferCatalog, areaServed, and priceRange.
