How can we help your estate agency company?

We can get you more leads from organic search. Online traffic is crucial to the modern estate agency. Achieving your share of traffic and leads requires a successful search engine optimisation campaign. We have a long history of working with property companies to deliver sustainable leads at an acceptable cost per conversion.

We can help to turn your website into a traffic and lead generating machine that ranks highly for a wide range of keywords.

How does SEO work for property companies?

The first port of call for house buyers and sellers is Google. When they need to buy or sell a house they will search online to find the right company to help them. SEO can help to ensure that your business gets a percentage of those clicks.

When someone searches in Google for a keyword like 'sell my house' Google will show paid ads at the top of the results and organic listings underneath. SEO can get your site into the organic listings for a term like this but also for hundreds of other long and short tail keywords. By creating substantial quality content it's possible to build a useful and informative site that ranks highly in Google and is rewarded with search engine traffic.

We carry out SEO campaigns that include link building and extensive content production to make sure our clients generate targeted traffic from a wide range of keywords.

Estate Agency SEO - FAQs

If you have the budget available to do both then that would be the best course of action. We can quickly provide you with a quote for how much each would cost. If you have the budget for one type of campaign and you need more leads straight away then a Google Ads campaign would be the best choice. For building long term traffic we recommend SEO. We will also include timescales with any quote for when you could expect to see an improvement in traffic.

No, you can cancel your SEO or Google Ads campaign at any point. If you want to cancel just email or call before the start of the next month.

SEO takes time to work. How long depends on the site you're starting off with plus the competitiveness of the keywords you're targeting. If you have a strong established site already then we can show strong ranking improvements within a couple of months. If you are starting with a brand new site it will take at least a year to start showing improvements. With SEO it pays to start as soon as possible.

No, any additional fees your campaign may incur are already included in our monthly SEO cost.

 



What's involved in estate agent SEO?

SEO for the property market is highly competitive but comes with big rewards for the winners.

There are a number of big players in the online estate agency market all vying for page one positions. Our SEO process has been formulated to focus on the critical items that improve rankings, boost traffic and increase sales. SEO is a long term investment that can help your estate agency business to claim its share of search engine traffic.

Keyword research

Identifying the right keywords is the first step in an SEO campaign. We use a number of data sources to identify suitable keywords and then review the top ten competitors that are currently ranking for them. By comparing your sites strength with that of your competitors it's possible to identify suitable keywords which are achievable.

The SEO quote we provide will be based around preliminary keyword research that we've carried out which we will use to gauge the competitiveness of the market. If you sign up for SEO we will continue with your keyword research using past user data where available and will create a comprehensive keyword map and content strategy.

On-page optimisation

On-page optimisation is the part of SEO which relates to the actual code and content of a site. Meta data and content will be edited during an SEO campaign to make it highly relevant for the target keywords. The goal is to get specific pages to rank for groups of keywords but the content and usability of the pages also needs to be of a high enough quality to satisfy the user's intent. Technical SEO is part of on-page optimisation and deals with issues that could restrict search engines ability to properly crawl and index the content on a site.

Off-page optimisation

Off-page optimisation for SEO is primarily concerned with the link strength of a site. Link building is included in all of our SEO campaigns and goes a long way to achieving top rankings.

Monthly Reporting

We create comprehensive reports which go into detail on traffic sources, keyword positions and conversions to keep you informed and to keep the campaign on track.
