Where You Are TodayNikki Hayden · Oley.io

Your Starting Line

You sold over 62 homes and $31 million in volume in 2024 alone, and Gemini does not name you when buyers search for a Cincinnati realtor. Your Google Business Profile has only 12 reviews while competitors sit at 75 to 240. This plan closes that gap fast.

The three gaps that are costing you leads

1 · Your Google Business Profile is not optimized for search
Your profile has only 12 reviews and lacks the category depth, photo volume, and post cadence that push agents into the map pack. Competitors like Plum Tree Realty have 240 reviews and consistently outrank you on every Cincinnati buyer search.
2 · AI assistants do not name you as a Cincinnati realtor
When buyers ask Gemini for a top Cincinnati real estate agent, your name does not appear and competitors like the Finn Team are recommended instead. Without structured AI-readable content and citation signals, you stay invisible in this fast-growing search channel.
3 · Your online presence is scattered across outdated brokerage profiles
Search results surface a Team Herr page and a LinkedIn profile with old brokerage affiliations alongside your own site, creating conflicting NAP signals. Inconsistent listings confuse Google and suppress your local authority score.

You have the production numbers to dominate Cincinnati search results, and right now almost none of that shows up online.

Your Visibility Scorecard

We scored your local visibility across the six signals Google and AI assistants use to rank and recommend realtors. Here is where you stand today.

34 out of 100

Strong agent, weak digital footprint.

You are a top-1% producer in Hamilton County but your online signals do not reflect that yet. With 12 Google reviews and zero AI visibility, you are handing map-pack clicks and AI referrals to competitors every single day. The opportunity to close this gap is wide open.

Foundation IdentityNikki Hayden · Oley.io

Your NAP and Keyword Universe

Before a single page is built, we set one canonical identity, your Name, Address, Phone and Website, and use that exact version everywhere. One typo or swapped number and Google decides you are two businesses. This is step zero, and everything else depends on it.

The 10-Phase Playbook

Here is the entire system on one page. We run the phases in order, each one feeding the next, toward a single goal: rank your Google Business Profile in the top 3 of the map pack, and get you named in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The sections that follow detail each phase.

1

Re-optimize your Google Business Profile fully

Update your GBP with the correct primary category, add real estate service categories, upload 20 or more photos, and write a keyword-rich business description citing Cincinnati, Mason, and Northern Kentucky. Set up a weekly Google Post cadence covering listings, market tips, and client wins.

Week 1
2

Launch a review velocity campaign

Send a personal text or email to every past client asking for a Google review, targeting 20 new reviews in the first 30 days. Reaching 60 or more reviews puts you in range of every current map pack competitor.

Week 1 to 4
3

Fix all NAP inconsistencies across directories

Audit and correct your name, address, and phone number on Zillow, Realtor.com, LinkedIn, Facebook, and the Team Herr legacy page. Consistent citations are a direct local ranking signal for Google.

Week 2
4

Build neighborhood landing pages on your site

Create individual pages for Hyde Park, Mason, West Chester, Covington, and Anderson Township, each with local market stats, recent sales, and area highlights. These pages capture high-intent neighborhood searches and feed AI citation engines.

Week 2 to 3
5

Add structured data markup to your website

Implement LocalBusiness and RealEstateAgent schema on your homepage and agent bio page so Google and AI assistants can read your credentials, service areas, and contact details. This is the single fastest way to improve AI visibility.

Week 2 to 3
6

Create an AI-readable credentials page

Build a dedicated page listing your production stats, top-1% ranking, $31M volume, and service areas in plain structured text that AI assistants can cite. Gemini and Perplexity pull answers from authoritative, clearly structured web pages.

Week 3
7

Publish monthly Cincinnati market update content

Post a short monthly market report to your site covering median prices, days on market, and inventory trends for Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Fresh, locally specific content builds topical authority and earns backlinks from local news and community sites.

Month 2 onward
8

Earn local backlinks from Cincinnati media and orgs

Pitch a market quote to Cincinnati Business Courier or local neighborhood blogs and get listed in Hamilton County and Northern Kentucky real estate resource pages. Each earned link increases your domain authority and local search relevance.

Month 2 to 3
9

Activate a social proof loop for ongoing reviews

After every closing, add a one-click Google review request to your post-closing email sequence so review collection becomes automatic rather than a one-time campaign. Consistent new reviews signal ongoing activity to Google and improve map pack ranking.

Month 2 onward
10

Monitor AI mentions and expand citation footprint

Run monthly AI visibility checks on Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity using your target keywords, and submit your profile to any real estate directories or local business indexes that AI engines are known to pull from. Adjust content and structured data based on what the AI responses show.

Month 3 onward

Phase 1-2 · Foundation

Weeks 1-2

The output of these two weeks: one perfect Google Business Profile, your details locked everywhere, and a baseline so we can prove results in 90 days. This is the highest-leverage work in the plan.

Step 1Run your baseline audit

We record where you rank today for your target searches, note the top-3 map-pack competitors for each, check your site speed, and ask ChatGPT and Perplexity who the best realtor in Cincinnati is, recording whether you appear. This is the before-picture we measure against.

Step 2Claim and verify your Google Business Profile

We claim and verify your listing, set it to Service Area Business since you serve multiple neighborhoods, and add your 8 service areas exactly as written in Section 04.

Step 3Set your categories
Step 4Fill every profile field
Step 5Upload 30+ geo-tagged photos

Headshots, a branded cover, closing shots, real listing photos and neighborhood shots. Each photo is geo-tagged to its area before upload, so Google ties you to those locations.

Step 6Start weekly Google Posts

One to three posts a week, rotating updates, results, FAQs and testimonials. An active profile is one Google rewards.

The Implementation PlanNikki Hayden · Oley.io

Phase 3-4 · Website & Content

Weeks 2-6

With the profile live, we give your name a permanent home: register , make it technically clean, then publish 44 keyword-targeted pages. This is the engine that ranks you across every market, and the asset that stays yours no matter where you hold your license.

Step 1Lock the technical foundation
Step 2Build the 44-page matrix

Three page types, each with a distinct job, so no two pages compete with each other:

4
Service Hubs

Buying Agent, Listing Agent, Real Estate Agent, Realtor.

8
Area Hubs

One pillar page per neighborhood you serve.

32
Leaf Pages

4 services across 8 areas, the money pages.

Step 3Make every page trustworthy and AI-ready

Weeks 3-6

This is our flagship system, built to produce keyword-targeted real estate content at scale around the 8 markets you serve. It is the difference between ranking in one neighborhood and owning the whole region.

44 pages

Generated, optimized and published in about 30 days, each targeting a high-intent search.

Phase 5-6 · Citations & Reviews

Weeks 3-6

Citations tell Google you are one real, verified business. Reviews tell Google you are the best one. We do them in order, the AI-critical sources first, because those are the ones ChatGPT and Perplexity pull from.

Step 1Build the AI-critical citations first
Step 2Build supporting citations and fix your name

Facebook, LinkedIn, BBB, your local Chamber of Commerce, Nextdoor and the major data aggregators, every one matching your exact details. We also consolidate any name variants into one, so engines stop seeing several different people.

Phase 9 · Getting Into AI Search

Month 2+

More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity who the best realtor in Cincinnati is. The assistant names a few, and those win the lead before a Google search ever happens. Almost no Cincinnati realtor has claimed this yet. You can.

Where you stand in AI search today

ChatGPT
Not yet named

Pulls from trusted listings and reviews. Your signals are too thin to surface.

Gemini
Not yet named

Leans on your Google profile and Maps, which are not built yet.

Perplexity
Not yet named

Cites directories and Reddit, where you are not yet present.

The realtors AI names are not always the most experienced. They are the ones whose information is structured for machines to trust and repeat. That is exactly what we build for you.

What we do about it

We structure your information so AI engines can read, trust and recommend you: a clean and consistent identity, answer-ready content that matches how buyers ask, and placement in the sources these tools quote. Then we test your priority questions every month and track your name moving into the answers. It is the fastest place to build an advantage right now, because your competitors have not started.
