Hyperlocal Real Estate Marketing - DarrylO Web Design

Google loves blogs because of their clean architecture and frequently updated, focused content. The archived content, the comments, permalinks (other sites linking back) etc. The blogging platform is also conducive to social media platforms (social sharing, bookmarking, tweeting etc) which is good for Google rank. Frequently updated, focused content = SEO.

Your content and headlines provide keyword search engine optimization. Google is very good at delivering the best results for a given search. Your content must be among the best results. The challenge is that real estate keywords are very competitive. The good news is that most of your competitors make the mistake of shouting out to everyone (trying to attract a broad audience)

Hyper local content is the secret to ranking high in Google.

Here are some ideas for content: Posts about what’s happening in your neighborhood (real estate) new buildings, new developments, tear downs, proposed construction, shopping centers, businesses etc.

What’s happening in the community: Schools opening, closing, expanding. Playground or skate park proposals, downtown merchant goings on. Budgets, taxes, hearings.

Photos & video: Local parks, beaches, hiking places, famous residents, local landmarks with descriptions etc.

Polls: Do polls on everything from the best pizza place to the best sleigh riding hill.

Guest posts from attorneys, mortgage brokers, interior designers, builders etc.

Guide to: neighborhoods, condominiums, a rental and/or vacation rental guide etc.

Market statistics (not just the numbers. Give an overview of what’s happening in your neighborhood)

Keep in mind also that you’re not creating content for Google, you’re creating content for real people. Keep an actual person, your ideal client, in mind when developing your content. You have an opportunity to develop relationships and build trust through your website.
