  • Be sure that each page has a unique META Title tag
  • Sign up for Google Analytics (it's free). Let it work for a month - you'll be amazed at the insiteful data it can produce. 
  • When adding body text, avoid industry-speak.
  • Mine you web logs for search phrases your customers use.
  • Promote your site on all your marketing materials: biz cards, flyers, signs, ad specialties, etc.
  • Include your contact information on every page
  • Append your title tags with your phone #
  • Be sure to pay attention to each page's META Description tags - more often than not, they will display in search engine result pages
  • Use keywords in your headlines (H1 and H2 headlines rank higher than normal text)
  • Add ALT tags for each photo
  • Avoid using graphics for navigational links. Search engines like keyword-rich text links.
  • Keep it fresh! Search engine spiders recognize sites with fresh content and will visit more often.

Good idea for phone number. Especially for an agent that is able to self promote vs company promote.

Thank you for the tips.  I never append my title tags with my number that is something I have to add to the list.  Have a great day!
