SEO and Link Building for Real Estate Professionals

For most real estate professionals, the concept of SEO isn’t exactly a familiar one. It’s not one of those acronyms that effortlessly rolls off your tongue. But regardless of whether you’re a real estate agent, investor, broker, or property manager, SEO will play a role in your success.

SEO – also known as Search Engine Optimization – is the process of optimizing web pages so that they satisfy search engine algorithms and rank higher for specific topics and keywords. It’s the practice of telling Google (and other search engines) why your website content is worth being shown to users who are searching for information on a particular subject matter.

We could dig into the intricate technicalities of search engines and how Google’s complex, ever-changing algorithms work, but let’s save some time and think about it in very clear terms. Because at the core, every SEO strategy is ultimately about lead generation.

The real estate industry is highly predicated on leads and referrals. Without them, your business dries up and you’re left investing in time-consuming, intensive processes that yield minimal results. But lead gen doesn’t just happen offline at industry conferences and steakhouses – much of it starts online.

In 2019 and beyond, most of your leads are using the same basic resources and methods to discover what they’re looking for. Google is one of – if not the most significant – staples in this search process. The data reveals that 44 percent of real estate buyers begin their home buying process online, while 95 percent use the internet at some point in the search process.

Google is the best referral partner a real estate professional can dream up. But in order to leverage the influence and reach of this powerful search engine, you have to make it happy. And if there’s one thing Google loves, it’s links – specifically authoritative backlinks. Thus, at the heart of any successful SEO strategy is a firm dependence on link building.

The Recipe for Successful Real Estate Link Building

Link building is part-science, part-art. It requires time, experience, technical know-how, and creativity.

Google and other search engines work by using math & artificial intelligence. Our method for building links ensures we are solving the math equation while avoiding black hat strategies so you can rank for national and local terms.

What is Link Building?

Link building is the formal name for the process of acquiring hyperlinks from other websites to your own. Hyperlinks are little codes of text that allow internet users to effortlessly navigate between related pages on the internet. Search engines reference these hyperlinks – more commonly known as links or backlinks – to create interrelated webs that can be referenced and used to categorize web pages and content according to subject matter, relevance, and quality.

There are two basic ways in which Google uses links: (1) to discover new web pages; and (2) to determine how well a page should rank in search results for specific search terms and queries. Search engines have “crawlers” they unleash to search pages that are included in their indexes. When these crawlers see a backlink from another reputable website, it’s a positive signal. When lots of quality external links are identified, the crawlers naturally assume that there’s a reason for these references. As a result, the page that’s being linked to is also likely to rank well.

Link building is arguably the most difficult aspect of SEO. It’s not an endeavor where you can afford to take shortcuts or use get-rich-quick hacks to surge ahead. In fact, cheap, shady link building techniques – known as black hat link building – will lead to stiff penalties and negative long-term ramifications that hurt your real estate web presence far more than they help.

In order to truly utilize link building agencies as they're meant to be leveraged, you have to make a long-term investment in sustainable SEO practices that satisfy both Google and your target audience. In doing so, you’ll reap rewards like:
