Our real estate SEO services
The market also has many real estate agents, property agents, property buyer’s agents, companies providing other real estate services, other real estate verticals and other companies actively competing for real estate related keywords on top of search engines like Google.
What are some of the most common challenges a real estate agent would face when optimizing their site for SEO or Google ?
- Real estate attract two side of the market – buyers and sellers.
- Lack of rankings for property appraisal related keywords
- Lack of local presence for terms like “agent near me” or “real estate company near me”
- Very low visibility only for specific service areas
- No consistent flow of leads
- No in-house expertise in SEO or paid ads
- No control over lead quantity and lead quality
- Forced to use between a couple of options for real estate CMS websites
While real estate agents generally cater to two side of the market, SEO strategy focused towards the sellers is generally viable as it keeps the money flowing into the real estate business.
People won’t always type in “real estate agents” into Google. Their searches will be much more specific like “property valuations” or “home buying checklist”. To cater to keywords at all part of the funnel will require a comprehensive plan of action including an implementation strategy to improve your SEO.
