The buyer questions we asked, and whether Purplebricks was named

Technical checks that failed
Weight reflects how much each signal affects whether an engine can find, read and quote the site.
| Weight | Issue |
|---|---|
| 2 | No llms.txt published |
| 2 | No Organization schema, so engines have to guess who you are |
| 1 | Heading levels skip (H2 straight to H4), so structure is unclear |
| 1 | Most images have no alt text |
| 1 | No FAQ schema |
| 1 | No quotations from named sources |
What would move this
In the order that changes the number fastest:
- Make the pages quotable. There is no clean passage for an engine to lift.
- Tell engines who this is. Structured data is missing or incomplete.
- Earn third-party mentions. Around 85% of the sources engines cite are other people's pages, so this is the ceiling on everything above.

How this was measured
Buyer questions are generated for the site's own category and grounded in live web search, then asked of an answer engine, and we record which brands it names. Technical checks are direct fetches and HTML parsing, not model guesses. A check we cannot measure is left out of the score rather than counted as a failure. Scores move as the web changes, so treat this as a reading taken on 2026-10-02 rather than a permanent fact.
