RE/MAX is the most searched for Real Estate company on the internet.

A recent article at MarketingPilgrim.com shows that RE/MAX is the most searched for real estate company on Google. The article, which talks about how to best use an internet marketing technique known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO), shows that RE/MAX beats all of it’s competitors including CENTURY 21, Prudential, Coldwell Banker, and Keller Williams in search volume.

The data used in the article comes from Google Trends. Google Trends charts how often a particular search term is entered into Google. The data shows that RE/MAX has dominated it’s competitors since at least 2004 which is as far back as Google Trends data exist. The data also shows that RE/MAX has not only dominated its competitors but has also shown significant gains in its search volume over the last four years.

While Google Trends only tracks data from Google, many industry experts agree that it acts as a good indicator for search engine activity as a whole because of Google’s prevailing market dominance.

It seems at least that it is no surprise that RE/MAX is doing so well on the internet given that in the 2007 Swanepoel Trends Report, Stefan Swanepoel, proclaimed RE/MAX to be the leader in cutting edge of technology in the industry.

RE/MAX International has a network of almost 115,000 agents in 65 different countries worldwide.

Is Remax's site really the best optimized? Or do they get more hits because of all their TV advertisement?

The data from the article does not show number of hits on remax's web site. It shows a comparitive analysis of which real estate companies people are searching for.

Thanks for that great commercial!  Yes it's true and I provide all my sellers with that newer information.  Dave Lininger has stuck to his guns on the website, promoted it, marketed it regionally and we've had great success.  There was also something from HitWise also.  I do have the number of hits on the site & will get back to you on that.
