Nowadays in Real Estate it’s so important to have an Internet presence, and not only that, you need to be very prominent.

If you want to get your share of the leads that come from the Internet through your website, there are very specific things that you need to do, and in a certain order to enable your Website to out-perform your competition.

You’re a real estate agent, and your job is to sell homes to buyers and to list and sell homes for sellers.

You should think about hiring someone like us to provide you with a strategy to have your website give you a daily supply of buyer and seller leads from your website.

If you already have a website we can review it for you and let you know if we can work with it, or whether you need to start from the ground up…from scratch.

Some Agents want a website that looks good, with lots of pictures and words and phrases that enhances their image !
If you’re that type of Agent then we probably can’t help you.

On the other hand, if you’re the type of Agent who wants a website that works and will give you with a daily supply of leads, then we can definately help you out.

Who cares if your website looks good….if it contains great information and links that help buyers and sellers understand the buying and selling process, and it gives tons of local and neighbourhood information then you will get more business from your website than those agents who use the Internet to promote themselves as # 1 etc…

When reading this post, just think about yourelf NOT as a Real Estate Agent, but as a business owner…it will make more sense then…

Website and Business Owners, thinking about otsourcing your SEO and Search needs…
If you are struggling with a website that produces no leads, or even worse, dud leads who aren’t ready to buy or sell now, you can change that !

Your Income will Increase if your website can simply perform the way you want it to, and you grab your share of the Online Business.

There are so many factors that can influence how Your Website Will Perform.

Some companies will charge you a lot of money to “SEO Your Website”… …Just make sure you’re getting what you want….and it’s sometimes not easy to know what you want in this field.

I only perform SEO White Hat, or best practices, and my focus is optimizing websites for Organic Search, which is what people get when they perform a search on Google.com

If you want to get into Adwords and PPC Campaigns I can help you with that too.

I have Solid Testimonials from recent website owners where their businesses went up by 100% due to simple website changes.

I recently consulted with a company who source jobs for Teachers in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. They have offices in Melbourne and another in London England.

They wanted their website to rank higher in the search engines.

I met with the owner of the company on 2 occasions where I tried to understand their business and what they needed to do to get more online business.

We did a couple of conference calls with his web designer, myself and him, where we set out a strategy to rank higher for the best keywords and phrases.

Now they feel more focussed and confident in their Internet Strategy to capture more online leads for their business.

They already spend a lot of money on Google Adwords to drive traffic to the website, but see the huge importance of getting ranked high using Organic Search Engine Optimization Tactics.

Recently….after only a few months…they are seeing real results…here’s an email I received today from the owner of the company.

Hello George,

“I was going to email you today to tell you some good news.”

Have a little search for “OUR CHOSEN KEYWORDS” and “OUR OTHER CHOSEN KEYPHRASE”….for the phrases we have concentrated on we had 3 listings on page one last night!

Remember…3 Listings on Page 1 of Google for your chosen keywords gives you 30% of the search results, or 3 times the chance of getting the click…when some people would kill for just 1 listing on Page 1.

A few days later, I get another message from the Owner…
“We are getting a lot more WEB traffic at the moment. I don’t think we are in a position to maximise twitter and Facebook yet as we are struggling to keep up.”

If you’d like to have the problem of having too many leads….contact me…

Testimonial from a business owner who gave up some responsibility and profited
Since George Bradie started to advise and implement our initial SEO changes back in 2009 ANZUK has seen a 100% increase in overseas teacher leads which we have been able to convert into significant feet on the ground in Australia and the UK.

George single handedly gave us the means to grow our profits by an average of over 100%.

Investing in George for your SEO will net results.

I was very sceptical at first and was trying to do everything on my own and in-house.

Don’t wait too long for this opportunity….

If you have a real estate website or blog and you’re not using Google Analytics, or any other type of Analytics, then you could be flying blind.

Most websites today might come with some sort of analytics attached to it, to show you how many hits you got, including unique visitors and returning visitors.  It might also tell you how many times your online forms were filled out and how many leads you got from your site.

But…you have the opportunity to take this to a whole new level with the information and data presented in Google Analytics, which is absolutely free to use.

Not only will you get the same basic data you would expect from any website provider, but you can dig much deeper into this data to find out more important facts about your website visitors and where they came from, as well as what they were searching for when they found your website.

You can also see which other websites referred traffic to your website, and which sites people went to when they left your website…all great information to know.

Find out where your visitors are coming from, what the avearge age is and are they male or female …

Use this initial basic information, then start to utilize the Custom Reporting in Google Analytics to present the information that’s most important for your business.

Have you considered using WordPress to manage your Real Estate Wesite or Blog ?  If not, you should give it a look !

You can have a free WordPress hosted website or Blog, but here, we are recommending a self hosted WordPress Website or Blog.

When you self-host your sites using WordPress as your Content Manager you get a whole host of options and settings you can customize, as well as thousands of free plugins you can use on your sites.

Some Plugins are specifically geared towards real estate agents, but most are there to help you manage your site, or to help you add images quickly without knowing any code.

Here are the steps to take to set up your first real estate website or blog using the self-hosted option.

1. Make sure you have a domain name you want to use with your new website or blog, and access to change the DNS Settings.

2. Sign up for your own hosting account, and I recommend using Hostgator for your hosting needs, it’s who I use.

When you have your hosting account in place, they will send you an email confirming your account is active, and they will provide you with the Domain Name Servers.  These are the two names which will be a bunch of numbers like ……..   NS…followed by some numbers.

Your Domain Name must point to these servers to work with your hosting account and WordPress when you have it set up.  You will log-in to the account where you bought your domain name and simply change the DNS to your new server numbers.

Once you have pointed your domain name to these servers, you can now login to your Hosting Account’s Control Panel and use the quick launch tools there to easily hook up your new domain name to WordPress.

There will be some set-up information you will need to enter, create passwords etc….then your WordPress Website or Blog will be up-and-running within minutes.

You will see a link to go view your new WordPress Website…click on that and bookmark it for later use.  You can then navigate around the WordPress Content Manager and Dashboard to start setting up your site exactly the way you want it.

WordPress has some default information already there for you, but you can remove/delete a lot of this…things like a sample page, a sample post etc…

Search through all the WordPress Themes and choose one you like…then activate it to see how it looks…don’t like it…simply download another theme and see what it looks like.

This is your basic guide to get yourself up-and-running with a Self Hosted WordPress website or Blog for your real estate business.

More articles will follow to help you get more out of your new WordPress sites.
