What is the most common combination of words consumers use to find properties? I know it's sort of like giving your opponents the key to the city but is it the city first, then "real estate" or "real estate" and then the city, or what?
My partner says he'd type, "Homes for sale in Omaha" but Google doesn't care if it's a complete sentence! I say, "Real Estate, Omaha" with a comma. But actually, before I was involved in this project, I said "Homes for sale, Omaha"
I agree with Shane. City State Real Estate is probable searched most often. I would also try City State Homes For Sale.
Stephen ~ I have always assumed (and I think it's so) that the most common search is [city] real estate. It's certainly the way I would do the search. That being said there are a lot of people out there searching with much longer phrases for all sorts of things.
Ever since I got a new computer I have been fixing glitches, figuring things out, etc by putting in practically a full sentence that describes my problem. I've been amazed to find that I can get my answer successfully in almost every case using the reallllly looooong search term. It showed me that there are a lot of people who enter search terms that way rather than the short, concise way. Opens up a lot of possibilities!
What i was trying to point out is there is no guessing at all involved in this. You can use that tool and literally check the search volume per month for any phrase you want. They do key word suggestions and once you put in a few main phrases viola you have any phrase imaginable and whether or not someone is searching for it and how often and total volume. You dont have to guess! Its all there for you just put it in and see what it says for your city.
Thanks for the response, Sarah. We're going for "Omaha Open Houses" since we're advertising that, but have a way to go in that category! Good to hear from you!
