12 recommendation queries (Q2, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q15, Q16, Q19, Q25, Q27, Q29) return zero mentions of Sage Hill Inn & Spa. The property holds a recommendation score of 51, leaving 49 points of headroom.

- Add FAQ schema markup (schema.org/FAQPage) to the published page so AI platforms can parse and cite individual Q&A pairs.
- Publish the completed FAQ page to the Sage Hill Inn & Spa website and submit the URL to Google Search Console for indexing.
- Re-run all 12 target queries after 30 days and record whether Sage Hill Inn & Spa appears in the AI-generated responses.
