Case Study — High-intent appraisal
Low traffic. High intent.
whatdidyouinherit.com is a free, photo-based estate appraisal service. The traffic volume is small but the intent is sharp — someone holding a family heirloom needs to know what they have. It’s a test of AI’s ability to route emotionally-charged, high-intent queries to a destination that can actually close the loop.

01 — The setup
A service built for the AI handoff.
Someone inherits a family piece. They don’t know what it is, what it’s worth, or what to do with it. They turn to AI to ask. The query is emotional, specific, and the user isn’t going to dig through a dozen pages of generic content — they need a clear, useful answer.
whatdidyouinherit.com is built to be that answer. Upload a photo, describe the item, get a written assessment from a human specialist. No cost. No credit card. No obligation. Eight categories — china, silver, furniture, art, ceramics, jewelry, glassware, collectibles. Recommendations on whether to auction, sell to a dealer, or keep.
The structure is deliberate: category-specific pages, schema markup that names what each page is, and content that maps to the exact way someone would describe what they inherited.
02 — The proof
The intent-matching is the proof.
Traffic volume here is intentionally low. The site isn’t competing on volume — it’s positioned for the rare but high-value query: “what is this thing I inherited worth?” Below is the live AI crawler activity, showing AI systems routing through here when the query matches.

03 — Why it works
AI sends users where they need to land.
When the query is specific and emotional, AI doesn’t want to keep the user in chat. It wants to send them to a destination that can close the loop — give them the answer with real expertise, fast, free, with no friction.
whatdidyouinherit.com is built for that handoff. Clean intent matching, eight categorical entry points, human review on the other end, no upsell. The user gets what they came for. The site earns the citation.
AI is the new search layer. Optimize for it.
