Architects are found by AI when their footprint pairs a crawlable portfolio with written context. Naming your building types, notable projects, and approach gives an assistant something to describe and recommend.
These are the terms that describe architects in AI sourcing tools and assistant queries. Your public footprint should state the ones that are genuinely true of you, in plain language.
Lead with the role and one measurable outcome. Assistants surface specificity, so name the result, not just the title.
Architect, sustainable residential. Delivered 30 low-energy homes, RIBA chartered.
I design homes that tread lightly. I focus on sustainable residential work, with a portfolio of low-energy projects and chartered status.
Through the words around it. Add written descriptions of each project so an assistant can understand and cite your work.
Specialization is more findable. Naming a focus, such as sustainable residential, makes you the answer to a specific query.
Surfd scores how AI search sees you as a architect, shows what the assistants say, and drafts the fixes. Free to start.
