Team Page Blueprint — Insurance Agency

Your team page is where AI learns who actually works at your insurance agency. Named, licensed agents with real titles, credentials, and specializations make your agency citable at the individual level. This blueprint provides the JSON-LD graph that connects every team member back to your organization so AI can surface the right agent for the right coverage query.

What this page needs

The team page is where AI connects named professionals to your agency. When someone asks "who handles commercial insurance at this agency" or "does this agency have licensed life insurance agents," the answer comes from structured data on this page. Named humans with insurance licenses and specialization areas raise trust significantly — anonymous teams get skipped.

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

InsuranceAgency

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.
url
AI verifies real people exist through linkable profiles. Without a URL the Person node is an unverifiable claim.
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.

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 Insurance Agency 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. Agency name
2. Domain
3. Faq answer
4. Faq question
5. Person
6. 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 Insurance Agency 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

Frequently asked questions

Should every agent at my agency have a Person node?

You should include a Person node for every licensed agent and client-facing team member you want AI to know about. At minimum, include the agency owner, senior agents, and anyone who specializes in a specific line of coverage. If AI cannot see a person in structured data, it cannot attribute expertise to them or recommend them by name when a user asks for a specific type of insurance agent.

What insurance credentials should I include?

Include hasCredential for genuine professional licenses and designations. Common insurance credentials include Property & Casualty License, Life & Health License, CPCU (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter), CIC (Certified Insurance Counselor), AAI (Accredited Adviser in Insurance), and CISR (Certified Insurance Service Representative). Only include credentials the person actually holds.

How should I indicate each agent's specialization?

Use the description field on each Person node to specify what lines of coverage the agent focuses on. For example, "Specializes in commercial property and general liability insurance for small businesses" or "Personal lines specialist covering auto, home, and umbrella policies." This lets AI match the right agent to the right coverage query.
