What are Tauranga real estate agents getting wrong?
35% show no visible review/update date
The fix: On time-sensitive pages, display a maintained review date so readers can assess currency.
29% have no structured data at all
The fix: Add LocalBusiness JSON-LD so AI engines can identify the business, its services and its area.
6% triggered the historical rules-v1.0 crawler check
