Point 2 Agent Sites Really Have a Lot to Offer an Agent

During my coaching sessions with Katerina Gasset I have been encouraged to move my web sites to Point2Agent as a hosting company. I looked around and signed up for a standard account and sort of left it alone.

The past few days however, I have been really lifting the hood and I am finding out that there is a serious SEO engine just waiting to be started. The data that is collected even for the standard account is simply awesome! I am upgrading to the professional version and I know that even more is available for me when I do that.

If you are looking for a hosting solution I can strongly encourage you to take a look at a Point2Agent package.

Best wishes,

Scott

I have had my site for two years now. Lots of ways to do your own SEO. Between Point2, AR posts to Localism and Craigslist I get great page 1 placement on Google and Yahoo fro my mjor keywords.

I have two websites -- an Advanced Access and a Point2Agent. I get different resulsts from each but the latter is quite robust and laden with tools.

Bart- I wish you luck with your site. Keep me posted on what is working for you.

Rolando- I will do some posts on the SEO within Point2 shortly. Thanks for the comments.

Andy- I think if you put some time into the site you will find that there is a ton of features just below the surface.

Scott- Congrats on Page 1 placement!. That is fantastic.

Andrew- I am curious about the different results you recieve. Can you share more?

Kelly- Glad you like your site. What level is your site? Do you have a Professional version or the standard?

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Best wishes,

Scott

I have a standard account with Point 2, but I have really modded it out. I've also changed all the meta tags, keywords, page names, etc. to fit my needs. Check it out.

I've written threads before asking if members with professional or premium membership have noticed a big difference with the leads they're capturing on their site, etc. I know an agent here that has one of the higher memberships and I never see him anywhere on the search engines, but mine comes up - sometimes even on page 1 for certain keywords. It's all in the customizing.

I agree -Point2 is great. Very easy to use. Very customzable.

I am having a technical problem with mine right now, but I will get it figured out. I hope you have been busy in Tacoma. I am officially back to blogging today, so you cant rat me out :-) Just playin!

Angela- Nice looking site. It looks like you have put a lot of time and effort into it. Are you having a lot of success with leads from it?

Jenniffer- Thanks for the comments. Yes the sites are easy to use.

Brande- I wasn't trying to rat you out LOL.... glad to see you're back to blogging. I will be dropping by.

Bob- We need to make the time. I know if I don't set aside a block of time I NEVER get to doing anything.

Thanks for the posts.

Scott, I do capture a few leads a week with it. Since I jsut started it a few months ago and have been updating it frequently ever since, I'm sure it will take my site a little time to move up in the search engine. I've definitley noticed it moving since I customized my keywords and have been adding content rich information.

Thank you, by the way, I have worked extremely hard on it. The first 3 days I spent 40 hours working on it. Since then I'm pretty sure I've put in a total of at least 100 hours. I see why website designers and SEO experts charge so much!!

I have upgraded to the professional version and I have found even more to be excited about. I am going to be putting together a series of posts that hopefully will provide some assistance to others to help maximize their experience with their Point2 sites.

Best,

Scott
