Agent Profile Blueprint — Real Estate Agent

Individual agent profile pages are how AI decides which realtor to recommend. This blueprint structures an agent's credentials, license number, service areas, specialties, and brokerage affiliation so AI systems can match the right agent to the right client query.

What this page needs

When someone asks AI for a realtor who specializes in waterfront homes or speaks Spanish, the AI needs structured agent data to answer. A profile page without JSON-LD is just a wall of text that AI has to parse and guess from — structured data removes that guesswork.

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

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.

GovernmentOrganization

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

Organization

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route users correctly.
logo
Visual identity signal. AI uses logo presence to assess institutional legitimacy before recommending a service.

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 · Agent Profile
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Real Estate Agent Agent Profile 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. Agent bio
2. Agent email
3. Agent name
4. Agent phone
5. Agent photo
6. Agent slug
7. Brokerage name
8. Domain
9. Faq answer
10. Faq question
11. Job title
12. License number
13. Linkedin
14. Logo
15. Office phone
16. Primary city
17. Realtor id
18. Secondary city
19. Specialty
20. State
21. Zillow id

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 Real Estate Agent Agent Profile"
- 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 I use Person or RealEstateAgent for an individual agent?

Use Person for an individual agent and connect them to the brokerage via worksFor. The RealEstateAgent type in schema.org is a subtype of LocalBusiness and represents the brokerage entity, not an individual person. The agent's credentials, license, and specialties belong on the Person node.

How do I represent the agent's license number?

Use the hasCredential property with an EducationalOccupationalCredential node. Set credentialCategory to "Real Estate License", add the license number as identifier, and reference the issuing authority (usually a state department) in recognizedBy. This gives AI a verifiable credential it can validate.

Can I list multiple specialties in knowsAbout?

Yes. The knowsAbout property accepts an array of strings or Thing references. List topics like "luxury homes", "first-time buyers", "commercial real estate", or "waterfront properties" so AI can match the agent to queries about those specialties.
