Having valuable content on your website and blog will give you a greater chance for buyers and sellers finding your site.
You should create real estate content on your site and your blog that is:
- Relevant
- Current
- Unique
- Keyword-rich content
- On topics that visitors will find engaging, informative, and entertaining
- It must a be related to the local market
Here are some tips to do just that:
Use Keyword Research Tools: There are any number of tools you can use to find real estate keywords. Google Adwords is a great source, along with sites like Moz, Google Correlate, and more. Many are free, and several will allow you to put keywords together to get long-tail phrases that are now more commonly used by searchers.
Find the Most Trending Topics in Real Estate: This is another key part of being found by searchers. The content you produce has to be popular, has to address issues, questions, and problems that buyers and sellers face.
Use Wider, Relevant Content: What is newsworthy in real estate? What are current and forecasted interest rates? How much are homes expected to appreciate in value over the next five and ten years? How can people get their homes paid off before retirement?
Post Content Often: Website SEO is all about frequent new and unique content. By posting regularly you are giving yourself the opportunity to connect with past and future clients.
