Pricing Page Blueprint — Home Construction

Your pricing page is where potential clients decide if you fit their budget. This blueprint structures your custom home build, home addition, major renovation, and new construction pricing into a machine-readable offer catalog so AI systems can match your company to budget-specific queries and compare you accurately against competitors.

What this page needs

The pricing page directly influences which budget tier AI places you in. When someone asks "how much does a custom home cost in Denver" or "affordable home additions near me," AI needs structured pricing data to give a useful answer. Without it, your company gets skipped in favor of competitors who provide clear numbers.

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

HomeAndConstructionBusiness

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route users correctly.
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 · Pricing
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Home Construction Pricing 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. Addition description
2. Addition price range
3. Addition service description
4. Business name
5. Custom build description
6. Custom build price range
7. Custom build service description
8. Domain
9. Faq answer
10. Faq question
11. New construction description
12. New construction price range
13. New construction service description
14. Pricing page description
15. Pricing page title
16. Renovation description
17. Renovation price range
18. Renovation service 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 Home Construction Pricing"
- 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 the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. Adjust the number of offers to match your actual pricing tiers. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

How should I represent per-square-foot pricing in structured data?

Include the per-square-foot rate in the description field of each Offer alongside the total price range. For example, "Custom homes starting at $175 per square foot, typical builds range from 2,000 to 4,000 sq ft." The price field works best with a total range, while the description provides the granular per-square-foot context AI needs to answer specific pricing questions.

Should I include lot and land costs in my pricing structured data?

Only if your company handles land acquisition as part of the build package. If your pricing is construction-only, say so explicitly in the description field: "Price does not include lot purchase or land preparation." This prevents AI from giving misleading total cost estimates. If you do offer turnkey packages that include land, create a separate Offer for that tier with the combined pricing.

Can I add a free consultation offer to the pricing page?

Yes. Add another Offer in the catalog with "price": "0" and "priceCurrency": "USD". Name it clearly, such as "Free Initial Consultation," and describe what it includes in the description field. AI systems surface free offers prominently when users are in the early research phase, so this can be a strong way to capture leads from AI-driven recommendations.
