I want to show you something important. Many good businesses miss easy work because AI does not know their limits. When AI does not see numbers, it fills the gaps. That means wrong jobs and wasted time.
Why AI Needs Your Limits
Here is what I see every day: AI recommends a mover for a piano that is too heavy. It sends a crane too small for the reach. It books a print shop for a banner wider than the press. None of these owners planned to hide this info. It just was not written in one clear place.
AI works with what it can read. If your site does not say your max width, height, weight, tonnage, or power needs, AI will guess from others. That guess costs you time and trust.
Action today: write your top five limits on paper. Think size, weight, height, power, and daily capacity.
What to Put on a Capacity & Limits Page
Keep it simple. Use clear labels and numbers. List the facts that decide if a job is a fit.
- ▸Size: max width, height, length, area. Example: “We cut sheets up to 48 in x 96 in.”
- ▸Weight: per item and total. Example: “Max single item 800 lb.”
- ▸Power and systems: voltage, phase, BTU/ton, water/gas needs. Example: “Requires 240V, 30A.”
- ▸Reach and clearance: boom reach, door size, ceiling height, staircase width, truck clearance. Example: “Truck needs 11 ft clearance.”
- ▸Quantity and speed: items per day, square feet per day, photos per hour. Example: “We paint up to 1,200 sq ft per day.”
- ▸Materials: what you accept and what you do not. Example: “We do not handle asbestos.”
- ▸Location rules: elevator required, loading dock, no basement access, steep driveway limits.
- ▸Time limits: job length caps, earliest start, latest finish.
If you serve many services, split by service. Use the same labels each time.
Action today: make a draft list with 8–12 facts like the ones above.
How to Write It So AI Understands
Short lines. One fact per line. Use units that people search for. If you serve two unit systems, give both. Example: “Max board size: 48 in (122 cm) wide.”
Use simple verbs. “We can …” and “We cannot …” help both people and AI. Add one clear example under each limit. Example: “We mount TVs up to 85 inches. Larger needs a two‑person crew.”
Use the same words AI tools use. Add common names and synonyms in plain text. Example: “Ceiling height (clear height). Door size (doorway width). Forklift capacity (lift rating).” No code is needed. Plain text is enough.
Add one or two photos with a tape measure in frame. Add a short caption like “Hallway width is 36 in.” This helps AI and helps customers.
Action today: write three lines now: “We can…”, “We cannot…”, and “We need…”.
Where to Put It and How to Link It
Make one page on your site with a clear name. Good names are “Capacity & Limits” or “Capabilities & Constraints.” Put it in your main menu or footer. Link to it from every service page and from your quote form. Add “Last updated” with the date at the top.
If some limits only apply to one service, repeat the key lines on that service page. Keep the full list on the main page. This gives AI one source of truth.
I want you to test it. That is why I built FoxRadar — so you can see in 60 seconds whether ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok know your brand. After you publish, check if these tools can answer: “What size can they handle?”
Action today: create a draft page at /capacity or /limits and link it in your footer.
Keep It Fresh and Prove It
Update the page when you buy new gear, add staff, or change vehicles. Add “What changed” in one short line. Keep old limits below as history if that helps explain quotes.
Add three real job examples with sizes. Example: “Moved a 700 lb safe from a first‑floor office. Door width 34 in. Used ramp. No stairs.” AI loves real proof. Customers do too.
Tell your team to use this page in quotes and emails. If they see a mismatch, have them send you a note. Fix the page fast. Fresh facts win trust.
Action today: add a “Last updated” date and one real example to your draft.
