SEO for
realtors.

You will not outrank Zillow on homes for sale in your city. You can own the neighborhood, seller and new-build searches it answers badly.

Duplicate IDX

Agents: your IDX pages carry the same MLS remarks and photos as every other site in town. Google has no reason to pick yours.

Rented domain

Brokers: IDX in an iframe or on a subdomain often earns your main domain very little. Check that before you pay for content.

No seller pages

Listing agents: your site talks to buyers. A seller checks you before the listing presentation and finds nothing to read.

Name-only ranking

Developers: you rank for the project name. Nobody knows that name at pre-construction. They search the area and new construction near it.

Neighborhood searches

Twenty-six weeks for a sample team, one neighborhood at a time.

Example of a sample real estate team, Halvane Homes, on a results page over 26 weeks. For the search “selling a house in Alder Park” it moves from position 14, a team bio, to position 2, a neighborhood seller page, behind one listing portal. 5 of 8 neighborhoods reach page one. The portal search “homes for sale in Alder Park” stays at 19, and Old Town and Lakeview stay with the portals.

Searched A seller checks the neighborhood before calling anyone.

  1. Searched: A seller checks the neighborhood before calling anyone.
  2. Off the page: Portals and a cash buyer answer. Halvane’s bio sits fourteenth.
  3. The work: A page for the neighborhood, then seller pages, then new construction.
  4. First screen: Week 21, on the first screen. A portal still holds the top.
  5. Read: A seller reads the page. “Homes for sale” stays with the portals.

  • Seller pages: selling in this area, what the buyer agreement changed, how you price

  • Your Google Business Profile kept current
  • A monthly read of what moved on Google

The cycle

SEO is the slow, owned half of Lead. Every search that lands goes to a site that answers it and into your CRM.

  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.

The outcome

Less Work

Pages get written and published without you writing them.

Less Time

You give market knowledge once. It keeps working.

More Sales

More buyers and sellers can reach you without a portal in between.

Your questions

Is SEO worth it for real estate agents?

It can be, if you aim at what the portals don’t own: your neighborhoods, condo buildings, seller questions and your own name. Zillow and Realtor.com hold “homes for sale” in most cities, so judge SEO on the leads it brings, not on rankings.

How long does real estate SEO take?

Months, not weeks, and nobody can promise a ranking. Neighborhood pages and searches for your name usually move first, and you see what moved in a report every month.

Can a real estate agent have a Google Business Profile?

Yes. Google treats agents as individual practitioners, so you can have a profile apart from your brokerage’s. The name, address and branding rules are strict, and a profile that breaks them can be suspended.

Google Business Profile for Real Estate Agents

How much does SEO cost for a real estate agent?

Agencies charge monthly, and the price only means something next to what it buys: pages, profile work and a report. SEO sits in our Managed plan, from $4,000 a month.
