OVERVIEW

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the practice of improving the technical setup, content relevancy and link popularity of a company’s website to improve search engine rankings for its pages.

SEO strategies are recommended by search engines to enhance the user experience and the page ranking of a website by providing content that is relevant to the user and increasing web traffic from your target audience. Examples of such real estate SEO strategies include the use of target keywords in the title, meta description, and headline (H1) text, descriptive URLs using the right keywords instead of string numbers, and the use of schema markup to delineate the estate agent SEO content of the page.

Local SEO

If you want to get customers who are interested in local businesses right around the corner, local SEO is the way to go. It focuses on two types of searches - local searches and location-based keywords.

It's easy to rank a local website - just follow the process, and you'll be good to go! At A1 SEO, we've been refining the local search process for the last 10 years, so there's no SEO magic involved - just simple tasks. If you do it right, you'll be able to get your estate agent website to the top of the local map pack (for example, Google Maps) with this SEO strategy, and you'll even be able to rank for location-based keywords too.

On-Page SEO

On-page SEO is all about the parts of a web page that you have control over. Most of the time, you can change those parts right away.

Giving it the attention it deserves helps Google figure out how important your pages are and links your content to the keywords that people are searching for. This is the power of SEO for estate agents.

SEO Audits

If you're looking to get a better understanding of where your website is in terms of search rankings, A1 SEO has got you covered. We've done SEO audits on hundreds of websites over the last 5 years, and we've found the main issues that need to be addressed.

Our audits look at all aspects of your website, from technical to on-page and off-page link building.

We use a few different tools to figure out where you stand with Google and give you actionable tips on how to get your website to rank higher through meta descriptions, SEO keywords, effective SEO strategy using longtail searches, and ensuring your website is mobile-friendly.

SEO Consulting & Training

Your best estate agent team can help your website rank highly in search results using SEO for estate agents, but they don't have the experience to do it. Your internal team can give you a lot of strategic direction, but it's expensive to hire an SEO estate agent specialist.

A1 SEO understands that big companies want to make sure their employees have the skills they need, and they don't want to rely on outside firms for their strategic planning needs when it comes to real estate SEO. We have trained some of the largest internal marketing teams in the world, including FMCG, B2B, and B2C teams.

Technical SEO

When it comes to technical SEO for estate agents, it's all about making sure your site is optimized for search engines for better online visibility and more traffic. It's about making sure your website is as friendly to Google as possible to improve your site's authority with key elements. Technical and on-page SEO is the foundation for building links and content marketing.

Sites rank better when they give Google more info about themselves. It's like trying to write an English-speaking professor's dissertation in Spanish - if the examiner can't read it, it's no use.

Technical SEO delivers because it depends on how fast A1 SEO can get started on your website. It gives us full control and valuable insights, and our estate agent SEO link-building campaigns give you immediate results as they drive referral traffic.

It takes time for Google to re-evaluate the quality of your estate agent site, but you should start to see an improvement in your rankings after a while.

White Label SEO

A1 SEO helps some of the biggest digital marketing companies in the UK manage their SEO strategies. We understand how hard it can be to staff, onboard, and manage accounts. A1 SEO's short-, medium-, and long-term options help take some of the stress off new clients.

We also offer white-label SEO that focuses on link building to drive traffic to your landing pages from other websites and improve your online visibility with organic leads, which is something most agencies don't have time or know how to do. We do technical SEO, on-page SEO, keyword research, and reporting for agencies that don't have their own effective SEO team to build links or those that are going through a staff change.

If you can outsource the bulk of your SEO, you can work with more clients without having to rush to hire. We're always happy to take phone calls and meet with the client or agency face-to-face.

OUR PROCESS

1

Onboarding

Once your contract is signed, we will begin our onboarding process. Our onboarding process kicks off the entire estate agent SEO campaign. From here, we will brief you on your real estate agent website's technical, on-page and off-page audits. We will also create your own tailored reporting dashboard so you can have complete oversight of your SEO strategy's performance in improving online visibility. At this stage, we also ask you to fill out a couple of forms to help our internal teams put together a strategy for your real estate agents.

2

Strategy Call

After the onboarding stage, you will already have deliverables being completed against your estate agent's account, and the clock will be ticking toward increased rankings. By now, our team will have spent a considerable amount of time familiarising themselves with your estate agent SEO industry and will reach out to arrange a deep dive call to go through our proposed strategy and gain feedback to allow us to tailor this strategy further to meet your real estate SEO goals. We expect all our clients who are letting agents, to commit to regular catch-ups on-going, ideally on a bi-weekly basis.

3

Niche Analysis

Now we can start cooking with gas! Armed with the knowledge gained from the onboarding process and our strategy call, our team of real estate SEO experts will conduct an in-depth estate agencies niche analysis, covering every topic and sub-topic within your industry. From here, we will create a master database containing each page of your website and what is required to start moving the needle in an extremely granular way and drive traffic to your page. This process takes anywhere from 20 to 500+ hours!

4

Link Building Strategy

Whilst your granular page-level strategy for real estate agents is being devised, our team of in-house digital PR experts will crawl through your Google Search Console account to find the biggest opportunities for external links and, therefore, more traffic. We look for pages where links will move the needle in a big way, getting you the best possible ROI for your budget in terms of online visibility. Our team has the ability to deliver scalable off-page SEO strategies from day 5!

5

Technical SEO Sprint

During the niche analysis of estate agencies and early link-building stages, our technical SEO team will be in the background working their magic. We run a benchmark of all of our client's websites against a 100+ point checklist and action any anomalies we find. We also do a deep dive within Google Search Console, looking for query gaps, indexing issues, broken average position lines, and much, much more. This is a sprint that is repeated every single month.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW LONG DOES SEO FOR ESTATE AGENTS TAKE TO WORK?

This depends on many factors, including your company's industry and keyword competition. SEO for estate agents takes time, but it should yield results in 6–12 months. Results are traffic and lead or conversion increases. Any business investing in real estate SEO should expect to see progress within this timeframe, even if you haven't reached your goal.

How does link building help SEO?

One strategy in SEO is link building, which sends a message to search engines like Google that your estate website is an authoritative resource. This means that sites with more backlinks will likely rank higher.

What is on-page optimisation in SEO?

On-page optimisation, also known as on-page SEO, is the process of enhancing a website's search engine rankings through changes made on the page itself. Measures to enhance the meta description and title tags are examples of this.

What does a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialist do?

When a website is tested, analysed, and modified by an SEO for letting agents specialist to be search engine friendly, it rises in the rankings on major search engines like Google and Bing.

In order to increase website traffic, lead volume, and brand awareness, an SEO expert will optimise each page of a website to ensure relevant search engine results and create a positive user experience. In other words, an SEO specialist is the same as any other marketer, whether they work in digital or traditional media, in that their ultimate goal is to increase revenue for the estate agents and their company.

An SEO specialist can do wonders for a business by increasing its website's Google rankings through the use of keyword research and SEO tools like Google Analytics. Some may also collaborate with other members of a marketing team to create new initiatives or improve the management of social media accounts in an effort to increase user engagement and website traffic.

What services does A1 SEO Offer?

A1 SEO offers scalable SEO for estate agents services, focusing on link building, content optimisation, technical SEO, local SEO, SEO consulting, and SEO training.

Do you specialise in any particular sectors?

Simply put, no, we do not specialise in any sector. That being said, the majority of our business is in eCommerce SEO services, where businesses are selling directly through a website. However, we have helped build dozens of high 6- and 7-figure lead generation businesses.

Why do I need A1 SEO when I can hire a specialist in-house?

At some point, it may be better to hire someone in-house, but in our experience, that only happens when your annual SEO costs are more than £70,000.

Using a third-party agency has a lot of benefits for estate agents, like having a team of experts who are up-to-date on digital marketing and the latest trends and developments in search technology specific to SEO for estate agents instead of just one person trying to keep up with everything. Also, one person in-house might get called into meetings, call in sick, and need at least a month off every year.

With A1 SEO, you get a group of people, not just one. You gain experience in many different fields, not just SEO for estate agents, and as we invest in training and development, you get better employees who bring more value to your business more often.

Not only do we take away the risk of hiring the wrong person, but we are also likely to be much cheaper than hiring someone in-house, and most importantly, you can trust us as an agency. Trust, Loyalty, and Collaboration (TLC) are the core of how we do business, and the success of our customers is always our top priority.

Why is it so important for SEO to have a content strategy?

Because people always have questions. They type them into search engines and hope to find what they are looking for. Only if the search engines can find the right answer can that happen. We help you come up with the best answers.

The best content strategies are those that focus on getting you seen in the searches that bring the best customers to your website. It's not about being popular or following the latest trend. Instead, it's about being relevant, easy to reach, and there when customers need you.

The good news is that we've been working on content strategies to help sites rank since long before they became trendy, so we know what it takes to get your website to rank.

Do you offer quick fixes and "black hat" SEO?

Never. When it comes to digital marketing, search engine optimisation, content creation, reputation management, and link building, we always use ethical and "white hat" methods. Quick fixes and fake boosts are just a waste of time, and we don't do them.

You can be "number one" for a keyword in a few weeks, but if it is a very popular keyword, the only way to do this is to trick the search engines. Some companies think this is a good solution, but the Search Engines always figure it out and punish the site. It's short-sighted and doesn't work, so we don't do it.

How much do you charge for your services?

Starting at £1,200+VAT per month, we offer a range of SEO services. We have a variety of packages that will work for most growing businesses, depending on their needs. Get a quote from us and a free review of your website by contacting us directly.

Who is A1 SEO owned by?

A1 SEO is an independent family-run business.  We are a limited company. The registration number is SC699214.

Why should I work with an SEO agency like A1 SEO instead of an agency that does everything?

There are a lot of agencies out there that say they offer "full service" and can do everything. From what we've seen, this is almost never the case. Most of the time, they will be good at some things but not so good at other things. They will say they can do all services, but they will outsource some of them without you knowing. We're different because we only offer SEO.

How long are your contracts?

Monthly rolling with a 6-week cancellation policy. We don't tie you into 12 or even 6-month contracts – we are that confident in our abilities.
