SEO For Estate Agents

SEO, short for search engine optimisation, is a digital marketing practice that focuses on growing online visibility by bringing your website up through the organic search listings. Research shows that 75% of searchers will never scroll past the first page, and as many as 25% will click on the first result, so being in this space is extremely valuable for your estate agents.

Boost Your Site up the Rankings

We use a huge range of SEO methods to get your estate agents website moving up through the ranks and onto the first page of Google. SEO encompasses both technical and creative aspects, and we take care of both.

The first step to boosting your site is conducting keyword research, this is to ensure we are ranking for the terms your potential customers will be searching for. Targeting a keyword such as ‘estate agent London’, for example, will be highly competitive. Opting for smaller terms such as ‘estate agent NW2’ may have a lower search frequency but may result in better visibility.

We then engage in on page and off page SEO to boost your ranking. This includes tweaking content on your site, writing blogs, posting regularly on social media as well as improving links to your site from other, external pages.

Local SEO Built for Estate and Letting Agents

When a homeowner is thinking about selling or letting, one of the first things they do is search for agents in their area. Those searches are highly local, and the agents who appear in the map results and the top organic listings get the first chance to win the instruction. Our SEO for estate agents focuses on exactly those moments.

What We Focus On

• Google Business Profile: a fully optimised profile for every branch, with the right categories, services, photos, posts and opening hours.
• Reviews: a simple process for asking happy vendors, landlords, buyers and tenants for reviews, and responding to them professionally.
• Branch and area pages: pages for the areas you genuinely cover, with real local information such as the streets and property types you know best, rather than copied text with the town name swapped.
• Valuation pages: making sure your sales and lettings valuation pages rank and convert, because they are where instructions begin.
• Technical health: fixing problems common to property websites, such as thin or duplicate listing pages, expired property pages, slow image-heavy pages and poor mobile layouts.
• Local authority: accurate listings in trusted directories and relevant local links and mentions.

Why Genuine Local Content Matters

Many agency websites try to rank in lots of areas by publishing near-identical pages for each town. Google increasingly ignores or demotes that kind of content. Instead, we help you create a smaller number of genuinely useful pages for the areas where you have branches, sales history and local knowledge. These pages rank better and are far more convincing to a vendor comparing agents.

Content That Answers Local Questions

People moving home search for answers: what is my property worth, how long does selling take, what do landlords need to know about new regulations, what is a street or school catchment like. Helpful guides and market updates written by your team show expertise and give people a reason to contact you. We can plan, write and optimise this content for you.

SEO and Paid Search Together

SEO takes time to build, so many agencies pair it with pay per click advertising for estate agents to generate valuation leads straight away. The keyword data from paid campaigns also shows which searches lead to instructions, which sharpens the SEO plan. If your site needs work before SEO can succeed, see our estate agent website design service.
