SEO for
commercial real estate.

A tenant searching for flex space in your submarket lands on LoopNet first. You can own the searches it answers badly: the submarket, the property type, the broker who knows the building.

Portal-only availabilities

Your availabilities are on LoopNet and Crexi and nowhere on your own site. Google sends the searcher to the portal, and the portal shows them every other broker too.

No submarket pages

Tenant rep: nobody searches your firm name. They search industrial space near the port, medical office by the hospital. Your site has no page that answers either.

Flyer PDFs

Square footage, the NNN rate, clear height and loading docks sit in a flyer PDF. The same facts as plain text on a page are far easier for Google to read.

Unclaimed office

Your office has no Google Business Profile, or one on a virtual suite. Google wants a staffed office with set hours before it shows you in Maps.

Submarket searches

Twenty-six weeks for a sample brokerage, one submarket at a time.

Example of a sample commercial brokerage, Brenlow Commercial, on a results page over 26 weeks. For the search “office space for lease old mill district” it moves from position 16, a team page, to position 3, a submarket page with every available suite, behind one listing portal. 6 of 8 submarkets reach page one. The broad search “commercial real estate for lease” stays at 21, and Downtown and Harbor Yards stay with the portals and the bigger firms.

Searched A tenant with a lease ending looks for space before calling anyone.

  1. Searched: A tenant with a lease ending looks for space before calling anyone.
  2. Off the page: Portals and a bigger firm’s research answer. Brenlow’s team page sits sixteenth.
  3. The work: A page for each submarket, then one for every available suite.
  4. First screen: Week 23, on the first screen. A portal still holds the top.
  5. Read: A tenant reads the suite page. The broad “for lease” search stays with the portals.

What you get

  • A page for each submarket and property type you work: industrial, flex space, retail, medical office
  • Availability pages on your own domain, with square footage, rates and photos in plain text
  • Tenant rep pages: how a space search works, who pays the broker, what a tour day looks like
  • Your Google Business Profile, kept true to your staffed office
  • A monthly read of the searches and pages that moved

The cycle

SEO is the owned half of Lead: an owner or tenant who searches your submarket finds your page, and the inquiry goes to your CRM, not a portal.

  1. Lead

    Everything that gets you a lead.

    More people find you and reach out.

  2. Prospect

    Turn interest into a sale.

    More of them say yes, and you never chase.

  3. Client

    Keep the job moving.

    Jobs run on time, with less of you managing them.

  4. Kept or closed

    What happens after the job.

    Finished work brings in the next job.

  5. Growth

    Feed it back into the machine.

    Every finished job helps bring the next lead.

Then it starts again.

CRM: Customers, conversations, bookings, jobs and employee tasks in one place, across all five.

What we build

The website

A site with every listing, its flyer and specs, and a page for each property type.

SEO

Listing and property type pages that come up when tenants search office or warehouse space.

AEO

Market pages on leases, zoning and build-outs that AI tools can quote when a tenant rep asks.

Lead generation

A space requirements form and listing flyers that ask for an email before the download.

Social posts

New listings and closed deals posted on LinkedIn, where owners and tenant reps look.

AI agents

An AI agent asks size, budget and move-in date before a broker spends a call.

Missed calls

A missed call from a sign gets a text back and a tour of the listing.

Booking

Property tours book into the listing broker’s calendar, with the address and suite.

The dashboard

Every tenant and buyer inquiry, filed by listing, on one dashboard.

Reviews and referrals

After a lease or sale, clients get asked for a review and the name of someone who needs space.

Email campaigns

New listings go to tenant reps and investors by property type and size.

PostHog analytics

PostHog shows which listings get read, and who comes back to the same one.

Session replay

Session replay shows the tenant rep who opened the flyer and never asked.

Monthly numbers

Each month you see inquiries by listing, tours booked and deals in LOI.

Every inquiry reaches one dashboard, and DocuSign stays for the LOI.

What we build

The plan

Less Work

Submarket and availability pages get written and kept current without you writing them.

Less Time

You give the market knowledge once, on a call. The pages keep using it.

More Sales

More tenants and owners can reach your brokers without a portal between you.

Your questions

How can SEO help commercial brokers get qualified leads?

It puts your pages in front of people searching your exact submarket and property type, who are further along than a cold call. They land on your site, so the inquiry is yours and no other broker is shown beside you.

How long does commercial real estate SEO take to work?

Months, not weeks, and nobody can promise a ranking. Commercial searches are fewer and more specific than residential ones, which suits a focused page. You see what moved every month.

Can a commercial brokerage get a Google Business Profile?

Yes, for a staffed office with set hours. Google does not allow a virtual office. Brokers who meet clients at that office can have a profile of their own as well.
