Why SEO for Estate Agents Is Different
The portals win the property searches. The instructions are won elsewhere.
Most people looking for a home go straight to the big property portals, and trying to outrank them for property listings is rarely worth the effort. But the people who bring in your income, sellers and landlords, choose an agent differently.
They search for estate agents in their town, free valuations, letting agents and property management. They read reviews, look at how you market homes and want to know you understand their area. Those are searches your own website can win.
That is where we focus: valuation and landlord pages, a page for each area you genuinely cover and local content that shows you know the patch better than anyone.
Who Estate Agent SEO Needs to Reach
The people who instruct you, not just the people who browse.
The seller
Thinking about selling and wants a valuation. Compares agents on reviews, fees and local knowledge.
The landlord
One property or a portfolio. Wants reliable tenant finding, management and someone who knows the rules.
The relocating buyer
New to the area and researching neighbourhoods, schools and transport before they search the portals.
The investor
Looking at yields and areas, and wants an agent who understands the local rental market.
