When someone asks for an architect for a house extension in my area, is it you?
Homeowners planning an extension and developers planning a scheme both start with a search. They look at work, they look for someone local, and increasingly they ask an AI assistant who to talk to. A portfolio site that never says what you do, for whom or where is beautiful and invisible.
By running the check you agree to our terms. Results are automated and not a guarantee.
Two minutes. No sign-up, no card. You keep the results.
What we usually find on architects’ websites
- A site that is all images, with almost no text for a search engine or assistant to read
- No page for the kinds of project you take on, so nothing ranks for extensions, conversions or new builds
- ARB registration and RIBA chartered status missing from where a machine looks
- Projects with no location, so the practice never appears for the places it works
Your check reads up to 25 pages of your site and scores it for Google search, direct answers and AI assistants, then shows the biggest problems in full. If you want them fixed, Deplova does it on a monthly package. See the packages.
What a practice’s website needs to be found
Google, the direct-answer boxes and AI assistants all want the same three things from a practice’s site. The check tells you which of them yours already has.
- 1A page per project type, saying what it involves and who it's for
- 2Each project named with its place and what you did, in text rather than only pictures
- 3The practice's registration, the areas it works in and how to start a conversation
In structured data, the site should declare its type as ProfessionalService, schema.org’s word for it, with the name, address, phone number and opening hours. That is how a machine files the business under the right heading. The check reports whether yours does.
Questions architects ask us
Our work speaks for itself.
To people, yes. Search engines and AI assistants read words, not drawings. A sentence under each project is enough for both.
