Why off-plan questions are different
An off-plan buyer is choosing a promise. The questions to AI assistants reflect that: they are about delivery track record, payment structure, escrow protection and dates, as much as about location and price. The engine that answers them is looking for facts a developer or broker has published, and it is cautious with anyone who has not.

- "Which Dubai developers have the best on-time delivery record"

- "Is [project name] registered with DLD, escrow account"
- "Which agencies sell [developer] projects, do they charge the buyer"

For developers
- One page per project, with unit types and sizes, starting prices by type, payment plan in full (percentages and milestones), handover date, DLD project number and escrow account bank, service charge estimate, and location with distances to landmarks.
- Construction updates on the project page, dated, with the percentage complete. Engines are asked about progress and quote dated updates.
- Delivery record: a page listing completed projects with promised and actual handover dates. This is the single most-asked trust question, and almost no developer publishes it.
- Broker list: which agencies are authorised to sell the project, so the engine can route buyers to them rather than to unauthorised resellers.
- Plain FAQ per project: fees, Golden Visa eligibility, resale rules before handover, mortgage availability, furnished or not.
For project-focused brokerages
- A page per project you are authorised to sell, with the same facts as above and your own analysis: who the project suits, comparison with two alternatives, rental yield expectation with the assumptions stated.
- A page per developer: track record, payment plan style, areas, and your experience with handovers.
- A "how off-plan works in Dubai" guide: Oqood registration, escrow, DLD fees, resale, payment on delay.
- Your authorisation letters or developer partnership status, stated.
