Could you please email with some basics to start with. My website is almost done. I am having a pro web designer build it. They are going to provide SEO for 3 months. I am sure it is the pay per click kind.I am interested in becoming the GO-TO agent in this area…especially my website! We have a very transient population, so I feel it is very important that my site come up at the top!
To start, find the key words you want your website to rank for in the search engines. You can use Google Key Words to find out what is being searched for in your area.
Now you need to go and build links! I wrote a blog article about Real Estate Link Building that should give you some ideas on how to get links.
Its also very important that you have a blog attached to your website, preferably a wordpress blog as its the best blogging platform and there are awesome plug-ins available for free. You should blog at least 2 to 3 times a week on your blog. Try to title your blogs for long tail search phrases, for example: In my area, I would title one of my blog posts, Seven Hills Homes for Sale, which is a masterplan community in Henderson, Nevada. There are fewer websites competiting for this phrase as it doesn’t generate that much traffic but just think if you have hundreds of phrases like this ranking in the top 5, your traffic will be phenomenal.
The last tip I want to give you: Your website should be the center of your world. Use sites like Active Rain and Wanna Network to drive traffic to your website. Write all blog posts on your blog and then give a summary on your blog on AR and Wanna Network, indicating if you want to read the entire article, click on the link below which takes them to your website.
This should help you get started on creating your web dominance for your local real estate market!
