I've read all the books and attended just about every class and seminar, and there is one thing I can tell you for certain: The internet and it's search engines are the cornerstones of modern marketing, and social media marketing is fast becoming the #1 method for optimizing search engine placement. As one of Claim.io's pioneering clients, I have etched my name and personal brand into over 300 social networking sites! So, why should you care about securing your name or brand with Claim.io? Keep reading, and I'll tell you... Here's what Claim.io can do for you: In the world of real estate, getting ahead online takes a ton of work and technical knowledge. Unfortunately, most of us are too busy focusing on closing deals to spend much time working on our online presence. What we really need is some help, and Claim.iodelivers. With Claim.io you can "claim" your name or business, giving you control of your personal brand across the internet. For example, you could create a username of "Bob Smith" which would then be signed up to 300+ social networks, all of which would link back to your main website, providing powerful SEO for that site. That means that if someone Googles "Bob Smith" there is a good chance they will be directed to your website. But, there's more... You'll have a personalized bio and picture that will detail your services and personality. That way, even if somebody finds you on a site unrelated to your business, they'll be able to know what you do. Adding short and long-tail keyword phrases to your bio will help your home site come up first whenever those phrases are searched in Google by potential customers. For instance, my bio says that I specialize as a "Bellingham buyers agent"... Now my name comes up on the first page if you Google that phrase. Of course, your success with Google placement will depend on your choice of phrases and local market competition. Regardless, your search ranking will certainly be better than it is now! I'm sure you have some questions, and that's just fine. I'm happy to chat with you and answer your questions any time.
