About the project
- Niche: Real estate services and sales
- Promotion Region: Spain
- CMS: WordPress
- Promotion period: February 2023 – May 2023.
In January 2023, a client approached Netrocket for SEO services, specifically seeking expertise in SEO for real estate from an inbound digital marketing agency. The client’s objectives were as follows:
- Website traffic increase.
- Improvement of visibility and ranking in search results.
- Increase the number of conversions and sales.
The company’s website is built on WordPress. It has minimal SEO optimization and a sufficient number of technical bugs. We agreed on a work plan for the next 3 months, focusing on real estate SEO, and started working in February 2023.
At the beginning of June 2023, we observed a 67% increase in organic traffic, a 44% increase in conversion rates, and an improvement in the behavioral metrics of the website over the last 3 months as compared to the previous period.
This real estate SEO case study illustrates the effectiveness of a well-planned and executed SEO strategy in the highly competitive real estate market.
The Challenge
- High competition and high average bill.
- Real Estate SEO is further complicated by the dependence of demand on the location of the real estate.
- Real estate has many parameters and details, which is a challenge for the creation of optimized content for each property type, area, and other characteristics.
- Long decision-making cycle: Buying real estate is a major financial decision. It typically requires time to consider. This is reflected in conversions, as users may spend a long time searching for information, comparing different options, and doing additional research before deciding to buy.
Execution/Optimization Process
For the first month of working, we focused on real estate SEO by analyzing and researching the niche to develop an effective advertising strategy.
- We did research on the real estate market, the competition, and the target audience.
- We have identified the most important keywords and phrases related to the sale of real estate.
- We carried out an analysis of the current state of the website, its visibility, and its performance.
Optimization of content and site structure
- We performed on-page optimization. This included optimizing titles, meta tags, URL addresses, and page content.
- We created informative and unique pages for each property type, neighborhood, and other characteristics.
- Expanded the structure of the site by creating logically related sections and sub-sections.
Off-site optimization
- We have a strategy in place for off-site SEO optimization.
- Created a database of authoritative websites to promote services, increase brand visibility, and get backlinked to the site.
Technical Optimization
- We’ve addressed technical issues such as broken pages, low website loading speed and index bloat.
- We optimized the URL structure and created an XML sitemap.
Updating and adding content on a regular basis.
- We regularly update and add information to the site. This helps attract and retain visitors.
