Team Page Blueprint — Home Construction

Your team page introduces the people behind the builds. This blueprint structures your construction managers, architect liaisons, and site foremen with their job titles, certifications, and professional profiles so AI systems can evaluate the expertise and qualifications of your crew.

What this page needs

The team page signals depth of expertise. AI systems evaluating home builders look beyond the company name to the people doing the work. Structured employee data with certifications like OSHA training and LEED accreditation tells AI that your team has verified qualifications, which directly influences whether you get recommended for specialized queries.

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.

Person

name
Named humans increase citation confidence in high-liability niches. A faceless organization is harder for AI to recommend for law, medicine, or finance.
jobTitle
AI uses job title to classify expertise level and match the provider to credential-specific queries.
sameAs
AI cross-references the person against external sources to confirm they exist. LinkedIn is the strongest signal for professional services.
hasCredentialconditional
AI cites credentials before recommending licensed professionals. Critical for law, medicine, finance, and regulated contracting.Only required for licensed professions (law, medicine, finance, contracting). If your industry does not issue a professional license, this field is not applicable.

Organization

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.

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 · Team
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Home Construction Team 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. Architect liaison linkedin
2. Architect liaison name
3. Business name
4. Certifying body
5. Construction manager linkedin
6. Construction manager name
7. Domain
8. Faq answer
9. Faq question
10. Foreman certification
11. Site foreman linkedin
12. Site foreman name
13. Team page description
14. Team page title

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. hasCredential

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 Team"
- 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. Add or remove employee entries to match your actual team. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your team page.

Frequently asked questions

Should I list subcontractors or only in-house team members?

List your in-house team members in the employee array. Subcontractors are separate businesses, not employees, so they do not belong in this node. If you want to highlight trusted subcontractor relationships, consider a separate section on your site with knows or colleague references, but do not mix them into your employee roster. AI needs accurate organizational boundaries to recommend your company correctly.

What certifications matter most for home construction teams?

OSHA safety certifications (10-Hour or 30-Hour) are baseline for any construction team. Beyond that, LEED accreditation signals green building expertise, EPA Lead-Safe Renovator certification matters for older homes, and state-specific contractor licenses validate legal authority to work. List every legitimate certification your team holds — AI uses these to match you to queries that mention specific qualifications like "LEED-certified builder" or "licensed contractor."

Can I include team photos in structured data?

Yes. Add an image property to each Person node with the URL of their professional headshot. While AI primarily uses text-based structured data for recommendations, image URLs can appear in rich results and knowledge panels. Use high-quality, professional photos hosted on your own domain for best results.
