Which keyword(s) would I like to be number 1 on?
How much time can I dedicated to achieving this goal?
What kind of traffic will getting to number 1 get me?

An good SEO plan to improve your rankings of your real estate website can costs thousands of dollars. You can actually put together your own plan with just a little bit of help and the right direction. There are over 10 key areas you will want to focus on to get to the top, here are 3 tips to start with.
Keyword(s) - What keyword(s) are you going to focus on? Understand the competition on the keywords that you want to achieve top rankings for. Instead of just running a search, get a short term membership to a tool like WordTracker so you can really get an inside look on what the competition is like. Build a list of related keywords so you can really compete.
Content - Getting to the top of the search engines means creating content based on those keywords. Don't just create 1 page on each keyword, create 3,4, or 5+ pages on the most competitive keywords. Having a deep amount of content on a particular subject will demonstrate your expertise and get you climbing to the top. For each keyword set a goal of how many pages you want to create and finish that goal before you move on to the next set of pages.
Update Schedule - Consistency of updates to your website and blog is one of the biggest factors that you can control that will improve your rankings in the search engines. Search engines (and your visitors) like fresh content. Releasing a new page every day might be a bit too tough, so put a plan of action in place that will allow you to stick with it and see results. Starting with a goal of a page each week can keep you ahead of many others in your market.
