Real estate SEO works by aligning your website with how buyers and selers actually seareh, while strengthening authority signals that search engines trust.
Our process includes:
01
Market & Competitor Analysis
The process begins with a comprehensive SEO audit of your real estate website. This assesses technical performance, site structure, page speed, mobile usability, indexation, content quality, internal linking, and existing keyword rankings. We identify any technical or on-page issues that may be limiting search visibility, local rankings, or user experience, and prioritise them based on their impact on lead generation.
Alongside this, we conduct an in-depth competitive analysis to understand how top-performing local and national real estate competitors are positioning themselves in search results. This includes reviewing competitor keywords, content strategies, backlink profiles, Google Maps visibility, and local search presence across your target locations.
By analyzing gaps between your website and competing agencies, we uncover opportunities to improve rankings for high-intent buyer and seller searches, strengthen local authority, and outperform competitors in competitive property markets. These insights form the foundation of a clear, data-driven SEO strategy tailored to your goals, locations, and services.

Keyword & Market Research
Keyword research focuses on identifying high-intent property search terms that buyers, sellers, landlords, and investors actively use when searching online. These keywords are selected based on relevance, search demand, competition level, and, most importantly, user intent. The objective is to target searches that indicate a strong likelihood of someone needing real estate services, whether they are looking to buy, sell, rent, or invest in property.
Once identified, keywords are mapped strategically across your website based on intent and location. Informational keywords support blog and resource content, helping to capture early-stage research searches, while commercial and transactional keywords are assigned to service pages, location pages, and property-focused content. This ensures every page is aligned with clear search intent, improves local and organic rankings, and increases the likelihood of converting visitors into qualified enquiries.
In parallel, we refine your target service areas to ensure your website captures demand from the locations that matter most. This allows you to attract buyers, sellers, and investors who are actively searching for real estate services within your key markets, rather than generating unfocused or low-quality traffic.
03
Technical & On-Page Optimization
This stage focuses on improving the technical foundation and on-page structure of your real estate website to enhance both search visibility and user experience. We refine site architecture to ensure key service, location, and property pages are easy for search engines to crawl and for users to navigate. Clear page hierarchy and internal linking help distribute authority across your website and support stronger rankings for high-intent searches.
Mobile usability is prioritised, ensuring your website performs seamlessly across all devices. This includes optimising page speed, layout responsiveness, and user flow to reduce friction and encourage enquiries from mobile users, where a large proportion of real estate searches take place.
On-page optimisation is then applied across key pages, including title tags, meta descriptions, headings, URLs, and content structure. Each page is aligned with specific search intent and location signals to improve relevance, visibility, and conversion potential. Together, these improvements help your website perform better in search results while delivering a smoother, more engaging experience for prospective buyers, sellers, and investors.

Local SEO & Google Maps Optimization
Local SEO is a critical component of real estate search visibility, particularly for businesses that rely on enquiries within specific geographic areas. This stage focuses on strengthening your presence in local search results and Google Maps to ensure your business appears when buyers, sellers, and investors search for real estate services near them.
Your Google Business Profile is fully optimised with accurate business information, service categories, descriptions, location targeting, and ongoing updates. This helps improve relevance, trust, and visibility within the local map pack. In parallel, local citations are built and cleaned across trusted real estate, business, and local directories to ensure consistent name, address, and phone number information.
Additional location-based signals are strengthened through review optimisation, local landing pages, and proximity-focused relevance factors. Together, these improvements enhance map visibility, increase local authority, and generate more qualified local enquiries from users actively searching for real estate services in your target areas.
05
Ongoing Optimization & Performance Tracking
SEO performance is continuously monitored using data from analytics, ranking, and local search tools. Key metrics such as keyword positions, organic traffic, Google Maps visibility, user behaviour, and enquiry conversions are tracked to measure progress and identify opportunities for improvement.
Regular, transparent reports provide clear insight into what is working, how visibility is improving across target locations, and where further optimisation is required. Reporting focuses on meaningful outcomes, including lead quality and local search performance, rather than vanity metrics.
Based on performance data, algorithm updates, and changes in buyer and seller search behaviour, strategies are refined over time. This ongoing optimisation ensures your real estate website remains competitive, adapts to market conditions, and continues to generate consistent, high-intent enquiries that support long-term growth.
