Buyers in your sector are asking AI this right now
Architecture and design commissions begin with research - and that research increasingly starts with AI. Residential clients planning extensions, renovations, or new builds, and commercial clients scoping office fit-outs or retail environments, now ask ChatGPT to recommend studios before visiting a single website. The practices that appear in those answers arrive at the first conversation already trusted.
"Which architecture studio in Edinburgh specialises in residential conversions and listed buildings?"
"Recommend an interior designer in London for a high-end commercial office refurbishment"
"Best architect in the South West for contemporary self-build residential projects"
"Which planning consultancy works with SMEs on commercial development in the South East?"
These are the answers shaping your prospective clients' shortlists - before they ever visit your website.
What AI invisibility costs architecture studios
Clients shortlist practices before making contact
Clients commissioning architectural or design work research thoroughly before reaching out. AI tools now play a key role in creating the initial shortlist. If your studio doesn't appear in AI recommendations for your project type and location, you miss the opportunity to compete - before the client has even visited your portfolio.
Project specialism must be visible to AI
AI tools recommend studios they can match confidently to the client's brief. A practice with deep experience in listed building conversions, commercial fit-outs, or sustainable residential design needs to communicate those specialisms explicitly - both in how the website is structured and in the content it contains. Visually impressive portfolios don't help if AI can't read them.
Enquiry handling shapes first impressions
Clients approaching architecture and design practices are making significant financial and personal commitments. How quickly and professionally an initial enquiry is handled shapes their impression of how the practice will manage the project. Slow or informal responses lose commissions before a credentials meeting has even been arranged.
