Real World Examples

How to Use These Examples

Each example follows the same pattern:

Select a boundary — Choose a county, city, or draw a custom area

Ask a question — Describe what you’re looking for in plain English

Review and refine — Work with Ploti to narrow down results

Export or save — Add properties to leads or export for further analysis

The best way to learn is to try these queries yourself. Copy the prompts, adapt them to your market, and see what Ploti finds.
