| HAR.com (Team) | Active | Strong | 4.96/5, 288 surveys |
| LinkedIn (Joe) | Active | Moderate | Exists, not AEO-optimized |
| Active | Moderate | Business page active | |
| Active | Moderate | @thepropertyjoesgroup | |
| Zillow (Joe) | Active | Weak | Profile exists, few reviews |
| ILHM Directory | Active | Strong | CLHMS member listing |
| KW Memorial | Active | Moderate | Basic team profile |
| Google Business Profile | Unknown | Critical Gap | Must verify/optimize |
| Yelp | Not Found | Missing | No profile detected |

| YouTube | Partial | Weak | Video on site, no channel strategy |
When users ask AI engines about Houston real estate, here is who gets cited:
| Query | Who AI Cites | TPJG? |
|---|---|---|
| "Best luxury realtor Houston" | Paige Martin, Nan & Co, Uptown RE Group | NO |
| "New construction realtor Katy TX" | Red Lion Realty, Willie Realtor, Builders | NO |
| "Inside the loop realtor Houston" | Houston Properties, Man-Edge, City Brix | NO |
| "The Property Joes Group" | TPJG website, HAR, Facebook | YES |
| "Joseph Diosana realtor Houston" | HAR, LinkedIn, KW, ILHM, Zillow | YES |
TPJG only appears for branded searches (when someone already knows the name). For category searches -- the queries that bring NEW clients -- TPJG is invisible to AI engines. This is the gap AEO closes.
AI engines build answers from "truth sources" -- platforms they trust. Here is TPJG's checklist:
No Schema.org Markup
AI engines cannot machine-read TPJG's credentials, service areas, or reviews. Houston Properties uses NewsArticle schema and gets cited. TPJG has zero structured data.
No FAQ Content
AI engines extract direct quotes from FAQ sections. TPJG has no FAQ anywhere on the site. This is the single easiest AEO win.
No Topical Authority Content
No pillar pages for luxury, new construction, or inner loop. AI has nothing to associate TPJG with these topics. Competitors have hundreds of pages.
Google Business Profile Unknown
GBP is the #1 local trust signal. Google's Gemini AI pulls directly from GBP data. If not fully optimized, TPJG is invisible to Google's AI.
Reviews Concentrated on HAR Only
288 surveys on HAR is excellent, but AI engines weight Google, Zillow, and Yelp more heavily. Need to migrate happy clients to these platforms.
No Press/Media Mentions
Zero news articles or press releases found. Media mentions are high-authority citations that AI engines trust deeply.
| Credentials | CLHMS, CRS, CNE, MCNE, ABR, e-Pro, TX Broker -- one of the deepest stacks in Houston |
| HAR Rating | 4.96/5 from 288 surveys -- elite-level social proof ready to migrate to Google |
| Sales Volume | 335+ properties sold combined -- substantial track record |
| Tech Edge | Northwestern CS degree + real estate broker = rare differentiator |
| Speed Claim | "Sells in <45 days vs. Houston avg 153 days" -- powerful quotable stat |
| Heritage | Keri's generational Texas real estate family -- authenticity signal |

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create Review Link Kit | Short Google link, QR code, email template, text template |

| 3 | Mine HAR 5-Star Reviews | Email all 288 HAR respondents asking them to post same review on Google. Target: 50+ conversions. |
| 4 | Create /review Page | Branded page with buttons: "Review on Google" / "Review on Zillow" / "Review on Yelp" + QR card for closings |
| 5 | Response Protocol | Reply to EVERY review within 24 hours. Mention specifics. AI engines weight review engagement. |
When asking for reviews, suggest prompts that generate keyword-rich content AI can extract:
Goal: Reviews like "The Property Joes Group helped us find a luxury home in River Oaks" -- exactly what an AI would quote.
| Competitor | Why AI Cites Them | TPJG Counter-Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Houston Properties Paige Martin |
100+ neighborhood guides, $2B sales, WSJ/Fortune/Reuters press, NewsArticle schema | Cannot match volume. Match DEPTH in luxury + inner loop niches. Out-credential them (CLHMS + CRS + MCNE stack). |
| Nan & Company | $1.1B global sales, luxury brand positioning, strong media presence | Differentiate on tech-forward approach (Joe's CS background) and personalized service vs. boutique firm. |
| Red Lion Realty Katy/New Construction |
500+ closings, 350+ Google reviews, strong blog content for Katy keywords | Create competing content for Katy + new construction. Leverage TPJG's broader Houston coverage. |
| Tech + RE Fusion | Northwestern CS + Broker License = rare. Position as "data-driven luxury agent." |
| Credential Depth | CLHMS + CRS + CNE + MCNE + ABR + e-Pro. Few Houston agents match this stack. |
| Speed | "Sells in <45 days vs. 153 day Houston average." Build entire content pieces around this claim. |
| Proprietary Systems | "5 Step Maximum Price Process" + "10-Point Marketing Strategy" = brandable, quotable. |
| Heritage | Keri's generational Texas real estate family. Authenticity AI engines recognize. |
AEO has two layers. The machine layer (schema, structured data, FAQ markup) is invisible to humans — pure optimization. The human layer (blog posts, guides, review responses) must sound like Joe and Keri wrote it. Not a marketing agency. Not AI.
Short sentences. No greetings. No signoffs. Bold claims backed by data. Median 17 words. Drops into a topic without preamble.
"Inside the Loop, a 3-bedroom under $800K sells in 19 days. Outside, 47. That gap is where we operate."
Use for: Market reports, luxury features, new construction guides, LinkedIn strategy posts, video data overlays
Warmer, more context. "Thanks so much!!" energy. Asks questions. Median 40 words. Provides the "why" behind recommendations.
"Hey — if you're looking at Heights right now, the spring inventory is the best I've seen in two years. Seriously. Let me show you what just came on."

"Would Joe actually say this?" If no, rewrite it.
