To be successful doing your own real estate seo work you don't have to be a computer genius. To succeed you just have to know the right things to do.
Real estate seo will allow you to the freedom to succeed without having to do:
Getting your website or blog to the top of the search engines means you are never truly "done" with your website. One of the biggest reasons that most websites fail to reach top rankings is the simple aspect that the website owners stop adding new information to their sites.
Content for your real estate website can be as simple as 350-400 words. This can be done in as little time as 30-40 minutes so that means updating your website is easy, right? In real estate there are already 100's of tasks to do each day so how do you make time to update your website?
Having an easy schedule to add new information to your website will allow you to add the updates that get you rising to the top. Consider the following schedule as a basis for your plan of adding content.
Week 1 - Write 1 page about a neighborhood that you do business in on a regular basis.
Week 2 - Write 1 page about the types of homes (architecture, floor plans, differences between models, etc) in the neighborhood that you wrote about in teh first week.
Week 3 - Add a testimonial of a client that moved into the neighborhood that you wrote about. Create a link from that testimonial to your neighborhood page.
Week 4 - Write 1 page about an aspect of the community in the neighborhood that you wrote abot in week 1. This could include information about a park, community center, local events, or anything other item that is specific to that neighborhood.
The above schedule is just a guide, you can't add too much content as your visitors, and the search engines are always looking for the latest information! Adding just 4 pages of content to your website each month will keep you far above your competition and have you climbing to the top for the most competitive of keywords in your market.
Creating new website content and updating content on your website that has been up for some time does have it's benefits. Beyond the benefits of rising to the top in the search engines, updating your website with fresh information provides for the following:
Happy visitors - People visiting websites don't like to see information that is out of date. I invite you to think how you would feel if you went to a website about real estate and you noticed you could purchase a home in Beverly Hills for $100,000! At first you might be excited and then you would realize that someone has not taken the time to update it with the latest information. Your visitors will be more involved with your website and reach out to contact you more often when you add new information.
Search engines visit more often - The major search engines, Google, Yahoo, and MSN want to provide the most relevant information to the people using their services. Creating new content and up to date content will bring the search engines back to your website more often. The more often they come back, the more likely they are to send visitors to your website when a search is performed.
Following a simple schedule and updating your website with content is one of the best ways to increase your rankings and provide value to your visitors. We invite you to discover more about adding content to your website and how it can improve your rankings with our Real Estate SEO course.
