Real Estate SEO Services
SEO for real estate is extremely competitive and one of the hardest niches to compete in. This is because real estate search is dominated by large national property portals, which compete for the same searches at a scale no single agency can match.

One of the hardest niches to compete in.
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 optimising their site for SEO or Google?
Two sides of the market. Real estate attracts two sides of the market — buyers and sellers.
Appraisal keywords. Lack of rankings for property appraisal related keywords.
No local presence. Lack of local presence for terms like “agent near me” or “real estate company near me”.
Patchy visibility. Very low visibility only for specific service areas.
Leads. No consistent flow of leads.
Expertise. No in-house expertise in SEO or paid ads.
Control. No control over lead quantity and lead quality.
CMS lock-in. Forced to use between a couple of options for real estate CMS websites.
Focus on the sellers — and the whole funnel.
While real estate agents generally cater to two sides of the market, an 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 parts of the funnel will require a comprehensive plan of action including an implementation strategy to improve your SEO.
We can help with a comprehensive real estate SEO strategy.

It’s about attracting more local buyers and sellers.
Real estate SEO will likely not outperform the large national property portals on Google. It’s about attracting many more local buyers and sellers in your area.
Some of the main benefits of our SEO plan include:
- Rank for key terms like “property appraisals” or “property valuations” to attract sellers to your agency
- Target the right audience to boost your conversion rates
- Educate and engage your local community, so your agency becomes a familiar name in the areas you sell
- Create service pages for other services your agency offers, like property management, property repair services and so on
Advice, not just implementation.
Our real estate SEO services are not limited to just doing the on-page or the off-page implementation but also focus on providing the right advice in helping your business grow. We can also help you with marketing automation or EDM management for your real estate business to hit the right customers at the right time.
Our real estate SEO keyword research.
We will help you find the most relevant real estate keywords to rank for, outside of ranking for your commercial intent service pages and home address pages.
Our keyword research will be commercial, transactional and likely to bring you actual buyers or sellers. It will uncover the most profitable keywords for you, including deep diving into your Google Ads, Facebook Ads or LinkedIn Ads campaigns to look at the highest converting keywords.
