Published the 2026 State of AI Visibility in Real Estate benchmark with its machine-readable dataset, press kit, methodology, and source-backed public product surfaces.
Release: state-of-ai-visibility-2026Updated July 10, 2026Publisher: Real Estate Agent AI Index Research Desk
Published the aggregate benchmark covering 128 AI answers across 16 U.S. markets.
Authority model separates broad source-backed directory coverage from stricter featured rankings.
Directory pages expose AI Visibility as the default sort and Consumer Authority, production, and reviews as supporting lenses.
Team and individual categories are kept separate for each live market.
Consumer shortlist, privacy, terms, referral disclosure, and evidence-submission workflows are public and machine-readable.
Validated refresh policy explains how public evidence layers update while rank movement remains gated.
Ranking placement cannot be purchased, and submissions cannot buy inclusion or favorable scoring.
Known limits
Featured rankings use a higher evidence standard than the broader directory and may include fewer names.
License and disciplinary checks are not yet automated.
Public directory coverage is live in four markets while the benchmark measures sixteen markets; expansion markets remain unpublished until their proof gates clear.
AI visibility coverage grows as each market completes a direct, source-backed evaluation.
The Index is not an unreviewed live scrape. New source information is verified before it can change a public ranking.
