When a home buyer or seller asks ChatGPT or Google's AI who to work with in Surprise and the West Valley, how often does Realty ONE Group come up, who comes up instead, and which websites the AI is reading.
Ten everyday buyer and seller questions, asked again and again across both AI engines. "Named" means Realty ONE Group appeared in the answer.
Share of answers naming Realty ONE Group on the ten core questions, each full measurement cycle.
Up to 33% on Oct 6, then back to 28% and 23%. AI answers change from hour to hour, so six cycles is a range, not yet a trend: the office shows up in roughly a quarter to a third of answers. The measurement continues every other day; a fair read needs about four weeks. The Oct 10 cycle completed 65 of its 80 answers. A separate set of control questions, never disclosed, went from 0 of 29 on Oct 2 to 7 of 30 on Oct 8 and 4 of 26 on Oct 10.
Every brokerage mentioned across 943 answers (all questions except individual-agent lookups).
Where the office already shows up, and where buyers asking the AI never hear its name. Each question asked 56–60 times.

The three gaps are real buyer situations in Surprise's backyard: military moves to Luke AFB, 55+ communities around Sun City West, and job relocations. The office is close to invisible in all three.
"Realty ONE Group Surprise office agents" and "should I hire a Realty ONE Group agent in Surprise AZ": named in 119 of 119 answers. When someone already knows the name, the AI knows the office.
Most buyers don't start with a brokerage name. They start with a situation (first home, VA loan, 55+, relocating), and that's where the office drops out of the answer.
138 of 282 core-question answers name Realty ONE Group.
58 of 297 core-question answers name Realty ONE Group.
The answers above cited 4,146 web pages from 240 sites. The AI builds its picture of a brokerage from these sites, mostly not from the brokerage's own website.
So visibility is won on Google, Zillow, Realtor.com and the state license record, and on whether an agent's name, phone and brokerage read the same on every one of them. When they disagree, the AI hedges or names someone else.
Make each agent's name, phone and brokerage identical on the state license record, Google, Zillow, Realtor.com and Homes.com. Our audits of five local agents found mismatched phones, old brokerages and duplicate profiles on almost every one.
google.com is the most-cited site in these answers, and published research on how AI picks agents found Google Business Profiles behind about a third of agent citations. A complete, claimed profile for the office and each agent, with a real website link and current reviews, is a top lever.
Luke AFB / VA loans, 55+ communities and relocation are near zero today. Agents who already do this work can say so, in plain terms, on the pages the AI reads.
A clean, dated record page for the office and each agent: license, brokerage, contact and real listing facts, written for both people and machines. Today parallaxlistings.com appears in 0 of 921 cited links; that is the starting line.
Keep the same questions running every other day and compare four-week windows, against eXp and Keller Williams as the control. Changes take weeks, not days, to show up in AI answers.
