The holy grail of Internet marketing:  To be found on top of the first page of Google.

 

Why would we want that?  To be found.   It is well known that to be found on Google increases many fold the times you are found.  Being on top of Google, page 1, means far more visits.

 

For Real Estate Agents That means 2 things:  

 

  1. More potential clients logged in and using the searches  
  2. More traffic for advertized listings

For an agent's clients that means.

  1. agent works with more buyers and 
  2. more traffic for your home 

 

hence  more chance of finding right buyer for the home

 

In a time where 95% of home buyers start their search for a home online, a seller must use a Realtor who is consistently on top of Google.

 

REALESTATEGUY has the claim of being the consistently highest ranked** local real estate website in Madison Wisconsin.  

 

In a range of searches that consumers might initiate a search for a home in Madison wi, RealEstateGuy consistently came out on top.  Above any other individual, agent, or even other company.

 

Take' for example, the search "homes for sale madison wi"  yeilded the following taken by screen shot.

 

 

 

The first 3 entries are paid advertising.   Real Estate Guy holds the first place there after.  Actually RealEstateGuy holds places #1,3 and 5 in this search.

Other searches were short sale homes for sale,  REG pages were #2,3,4 & 7.  a whopping 4 of 10 results.

real estate for sale Madison wi  #3.

 

The great thing about the internet, is that sellers can check this for themselves.   Check your agent has great pictures on his listings, and great placement for his website.

 

As a home seller, you should decide search would you use to find a home in Madison Wi.  google that search term.   If your agent is not in that term, maybe you should try one that is!!

Being on page 1 of Google is indeed the Holy Grail of marketing.  But the real work starts when you get there.  And, that is getting the folks to stay on your site once they click on it.  Compelling copy and useful information is key!

Guy, we try to preach the same gospel to listing clients in our Madeline Island, Wisconsin area.  If prospective buyers can't find your agent's website, how are they going to find your listing?

Jeanie and Ralph, thanks for the comment.  Yes, retention is very important, but worth nothing if they don't find you.  

Hi Eric, Every agent should be doing this, thank heavens they all don't
