Homepage Blueprint — Plumber

The homepage is the identity anchor for a plumbing business. It tells AI systems who you are, what services you offer, where you operate, and how to reach you. This blueprint provides the complete JSON-LD graph your homepage needs so AI can classify, cite, and recommend your plumbing company with confidence.

What this page needs

The homepage is the single most important page for AI discoverability. It is where AI systems look first to understand who you are and whether your plumbing business is worth recommending. Every other page on the site inherits credibility from what the homepage declares. Without structured data here, AI may index deeper pages but still lack the identity anchor needed to recommend your business.

Business identity. The Plumber node declares your company name, logo, address, phone number, service areas, and social profiles. This is the canonical record AI uses to identify your business across the web.
WebSite declaration. The WebSite node anchors your entire site graph. It gives AI a root-level reference that every other page can point back to with isPartOf.
Search action for sitelinks. A SearchAction inside potentialAction tells search engines and AI systems that your site has internal search, which can trigger sitelinks search box in results.
Geographic coverage. The areaServed and geo fields tell AI exactly where your plumbing services are available, which is essential for location-based queries like "plumber near me."

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

Plumber

name: Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.
url: AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route users correctly.
telephone: AI won't recommend a business it can't confirm is reachable. Phone is the primary trust signal for service businesses.
address: AI needs a verifiable address before recommending local services. Used for coverage zone inference and location-based queries.
geo: AI uses coordinates to confirm service coverage and answer location-specific queries. Without geo, AI guesses your location from address alone.
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.
sameAs: AI cross-references sameAs links to confirm the business exists outside its own domain. One link minimum.
logo: Visual identity signal. AI uses logo presence to assess institutional legitimacy before recommending a service.

WebSite

@id: All other schema nodes reference this ID. Without it the graph is disconnected and AI sees isolated, unrelated data.

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.

You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Plumber Homepage 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. Business
2. Business name
3. City
4. Domain
5. Faq answer
6. Faq question
7. Homepage title
8. Latitude
9. Logo
10. Longitude
11. Maps cid
12. Page
13. Phone number
14. Price range
15. Primary city
16. Secondary city
17. Site name
18. State
19. Street address
20. Zip

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 Plumber Homepage"
- 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. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your homepage.

Frequently asked questions

Why use the Plumber type instead of LocalBusiness?

Plumber is a specific subtype of HomeAndConstructionBusiness in Schema.org. Using it instead of the generic LocalBusiness tells AI exactly what trade you practice, which helps it match you to queries like "find a plumber" rather than just "find a local business." The more specific your type, the more accurately AI can categorize and recommend you.

Do I need the SearchAction if my site does not have search?

No. The SearchAction inside potentialAction is only useful if your site has a working internal search. If it does not, remove the entire potentialAction block. Including a broken search URL can hurt rather than help.

How many cities should I list in areaServed?

List every city or region where you actively provide plumbing services. There is no upper limit, but each entry should be a real coverage area. The homepage is a good place to declare your primary service area, while the dedicated service areas page can carry the full list with more detail.
