Are you are real estate broker seeing the power that individual agents possess through blogging, thinking, we could own the search engines for this area if we could just harness the efforts of our agents?
…Then suddenly, you realize that you have the following challenges holding you back?
- Can't risk the liability of agents posting freely.
- Don't have the resources to get the team to see the value and embrace the effort.
- Don't have the tool for agents to post content into the current company site.
- Recognize the nightmare in organizing the presentation of so much content.
- Don't have the IT team to support such a project.
- Don't have the resources to train the agents to blog effectively and consistently.
Making announcements about our company's product is not the normal M.O. here at the Tomato, but when you're about to make history, you need a soapbox, and what better platform than our own?
On August 21st, at EWM Realtors in Miami, FL, we soft launched a first of it's kind real estate broker blog. The list of features and the possibilities that they have immediately afforded EWM are more than exciting, they are ground breaking.
Beth Butler was faced with a challenge. How do I gain dominant exposure in the search engines for as many as 70 Greater Miami neighborhoods... and not spend a fortune doing so?
SEO companies were quoting her staggering figures to write Search Engine Optimized pages for each community. The results we not going to be 100% guaranteed and it could take as much as 6-9 months to begin to see results. By then the SEO company would have their money and have moved on.
Since she joined ActiveRain this April, Beth had been watching blogs rise as a powerful tool to gain nearly instant exposure in the search engines for all levels of search terms and phrases.
The light bulb went off! If a single real estate blogger can earn success in the Search Engines just through blogging, imagine the success EWM will achieve with a good percentage of an 800 agent office blogging their brains out. With agents specializing in each community and real estate niche in the Greater Miami area, we'd have thousands of pages of local real estate content in no time.
Just as ActiveRain has been able to leverage the blogging of many to increase their dominance in the SE's, EWM as a blogging group would gain similar exposure for their agents.
Beth called the Real Estate Tomato and asked if we could develop a tool that would allow her company to blog it's way into dominance in the search engines.
3 months later, we launched such a tool.
