Getting good results from the site agent

Tips for prompting the AI agent

What you write in the agent panel decides what the site agent builds and where it makes changes.

Say what you want and where

More detail gets a better result. When a request is vague, the agent has to guess or ask what you meant; when it's specific, the result is more likely to match what you had in mind.

Two requests side by side: a vague one answered with a question, a specific one answered with the page built

The agent can make changes on any page of your site, not just the one you have open — so say where the change applies. "This page" means the open page; name pages to work on just those; describe a site-wide change and it works across all of your pages.

Select the element first

Selecting an element before you send a message tells the agent exactly which one you mean — the selection travels with your request, so it can act on "this" without a description. For a quick change to a single element, the inline element editor is faster; see Editing selected elements.

Ask for options

Select a section and ask what it could be — the agent can lay out a few directions to pick from, then build the one you choose. Plain questions work too: ask what a page is missing, or which of two ideas fits your site better.

Show it with an image

Attach a screenshot of a design you like and ask for that treatment, or attach the photos you want placed on the page.

Make preferences stick

A one-off instruction lasts for the task at hand. When a preference should hold from now on, say so — "always keep headings sentence case", "never use exclamation points" — and the agent saves it to memory and applies it in every later chat. Review what it has saved in Site Settings > AI > Memory.

Mention your services by name

The agent can look up your services, service areas, and business profile, so a name is enough — ask for a page for your gutter cleaning service and it pulls the real details.

Iterate in the same chat

A chat keeps its context, so follow-ups land on what the agent just built — ask for a tweak, or for the same change on another page, without re-explaining. When a result isn't what you wanted, say what's missing instead of repeating the request. Start a new chat when you move on to unrelated work.
