Do you ever just search the way your customers do? Do you know how they search?
I keep an eye on the search "Northwest Indiana" and although I haven't really worked hard to get SEO strength since the search term is pretty wide, I was pleased to see that I have gained page 5 and 6 coverage without even really working it. Basically all organic and natural.
Here are the page one results, the map at the top was for another state, gotta love google:

I'm sure REALTOR.com searches well, this result actually surprises me. Who ever really goes to GNIAR? Not the agents that's for sure. This one seems to be a Google error, maybe the county pages on REALTOR.com would be better.
