Deep into Google+ etc. to make updates

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner CA#01772851 HI#RB21268

Seems like it's been so long since I've written an Activerain blog! But I have been deep into the bowels of the Internet (does it have "bowels"?). This is my time to make updates here and there and everywhere now that my Rothwell Realty Inc. website is up. And now that I am wearing one more hat, that of being the president of the corporation, broker in charge, what have you.

Coming up with unique copy for the various websites I have out there to let the public know is not too bad but time consuming. Since I don't want the words to be exactly the same (GOOGLE doesn't like that), I've tried to weave wonderful new copy around certain POINTS that I want to get across.

www.HellaRothwell.com

This has been my catch-all website for all the real estate things I'm doing and really needed to get "weeded".

And it has been interesting how much help GOOGLE+ can be. Today, for example, it really started to concern me that the Google map still had me pointed to an old address. Not only that, I COULDN'T change it by merely going into my account. I guess to make those major kind of changes AN ACTUAL PERSON NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED especially when they can't find my address.

WHY IS THAT, YOU ASK?

Because Carmel-by-the-Sea does not have any addresses!!!

Nope, no street addressed. Makes it hard when you try to locate us from an electronic finder. So how do we find OURSELVES? What we do, taking my address as an example, is say "Dolores between 5th & 6th". And if you want to get VERY particular, you count the lots and whether you are on the EAST or WEST, or NORTH or SOUTH side. Depends how the city fathers have you on their official documents.

My office is even more difficult because the building lies east to west between TWO streets, which are Dolores and Lincoln, and there's a courtyard that runs between one and the other, my office being in the middle.

SO BACK TO GOOGLE+

I had to get two actual people (vs. virtual ones) involved to get me located PRECISELY on the Google MAP. And they did a great job. If you search for "Hella Rothwell" you can see what I mean. Let's see if I can put the map up here:

Rothwell Realty Inc in Suvecino Court on Dolores between 5th & 6th, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93921

Rothwell Realty Inc. in Su Vecino Court on Dolores & Lincoln between 5th and 6th Ave, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93921 

NOW TO GETTING A PHONE NUMBER CHANGED

They promised to get my old phone number changed (which also takes PEOPLE) but that hasn't happened yet. I'll see if that propagates by tomorrow.

MORE TOMORROW....

Nothing today, so I will get back to Google+

Welcome to my world.  When you sell raw land before it has homes, many times all you have is a legal and no address until permit is pulled.  

Many times I will say goto the closest home and then it is the 3rd lot to the left or right.

Julie A. Black - Yes, it is a hot market. Here it is not QUANTITY, but $$$ especially if you want to be within the city limits of Carmel-by-the-Sea. As to GOOGLE+, that is the best way of getting positioned on Google's search engine.

Bob Crane - I've been getting excellent response from GOOGLE. Helps to be a BUSINESS with a WALK-IN address. That's how she explained it to me. They want GOOD maps.

Endre Barath, Jr. - Good to know!!! I may take you up on that. So far so good.

Kevin B. Tolbert PA Team Keller Williams Realty of Port St Lucie - Here, everyone has a MAIL box in the town's post office. UPS & FEDEX find us, though, they are used to it. The post office, on my block  on the NE corner of Dolores & 5th, is a great place to meet up with people because, obviously, EVERYONE goes there.

Hella, I do not envy that project you are working on yet do understand the importance and the necessity. All the more complicated and time consuming when dealing with third parties. You’ll get it all done and then there will be more.

Yes, I am pretty sure the Internet does have bowels.

I am more convinced that the Internet has deep caverns more than bowels, as very seldom does it discharge any thing but stores in dark places that only key words can bring to light. 

Nice website with the 2 locations

I would have built new landing pages on that catch all site instead of building a whole new site.

Hella, so with no addresses, it's just your name and "Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA?" How charming and also confusing for our modern world! Congratulations on opening your own brokerage and may you prosper in 2015.
