Search Engine Positioning - UK Property Portals - Estate Agency Websites

Estate agents need to consider getting as many pages related to property and their location positioned on the search engines as possible and should make sure each of these pages is targeted to appear on the front page of Google. That is exactly where the property portals customers begin their search.

Search engines exist to serve their customers the information they require. If your Estate Agency ans properties are not listed, they can not help you. If you are using one of the commercial house search facilities such as Find a Property, Prime Location, Right Move etc. ensure that your property details are optimised for Google. The bottom line is that if your properties, services or financial products are not available on the front page of Google you may lose the sale or instruction, either to a competitor or because the buying impulse is lost.

Pros and Cons

The idea is simple. One site collects all the UK's properties for sale and for let and arranges them in a database. Users can search for the property of their dreams in seconds without having to trawl a mass of individual sites. Then they can click through to the Agent who has instructions on that property and make the necessary arrangements.

The Reality

There are almost as many databases as individual Estate Agents. The public can't stand this.
All are slow and based on decrepit technologies. Many sites are simply lists, with little or no searching possible. Many sites don't display pictures of the properties, making comparison impossible. There is no vetting of Agents within the sites. You could find yourself next to some very shady operations. Almost all the facilities are vastly overpriced.

The Benefits

Some sites will drive some (but not much) traffic to your site.

Want to become an estate agent?

Its not all glamour.

Estate agents staff deal with thousands of Tenants and Purchasers and hundreds of Landlords or Vendors each year. Our clients found that much of their staff time was being spent in routine administrative work.

Prospective Tenants or Purchasers would phone to ask a lot of questions about Properties for rent or sale, and to make appointments.

A significant percentage of Appointments were no-shows, or they weren't interested when they saw the property. When a prospective Tenant/Purchaser wanted to apply for a Property, they would come into the office to fill in forms, occupying counter staff for 30-90 minutes, and having to take time off work themselves.

Landlords would phone asking for copies of letters, Account details etc. Tenants would phone asking for copies of Corgi certificates, report Repairs and generally ask basic questions.

On the Sales side, things could be even worse. By transfering a lot of this part of the property transaction to the web, forward thinking agents can free up valuable time. By making this process as maintenance free as possible further expense is also saved.
Ultimately, more listings, more commissions.

Email marketing for UK estate agents

E-mail is truly one of the Internet's most powerful tools. Never before has it been possible to reach such a large number of people at such a small cost. While surfing the Net is a national pastime, studies indicate that the average Internet property buyer only returns to a few select web sites.

So how do you get them to return to yours? By providing valuable content, preferably content that makes the user want to revisit your site for updated information.

However, with the millions of web sites offered on the web, most people need a gentle reminder.

Email marketing is an effective element in your estate agency marketing campaign. One of the best ways to keep in touch with prospects is to provide them with regular and consistent communication through property email or estate agents newsletters that areinformative, colourful and appealing.

Marketing For Estate Agents, Letting Agents, Surveyors & Solicitors

Today's estate agents, letting agents, surveyors and property solicitors need to learn the best techniques for capturing property sales leads, following up with prospects and converting them into customers. The problem with traditional estate agency advertising is you never know how successful it is.

Traditional real estate marketing, such as direct mail, magazine ads, classifieds, television and radio spots can all be useful. But what of internet marketing, keyword and meta tag strategies, newsgroup and mailing list postings, banner advertising, reciprocal links, online promotions, content positioning, online image development, email strategies and interactive features?

Let's face it, your estate agency advertising either generates leads and helps you close property deals and transactions or it doesn't. And if it doesn't generate income, it doesn't do you any good. Although so many estate agents are already are on the Internet, a vast majority of advertising web sites don't bring any results.

The Search and Submit real estate marketing method, however, deals only in results. You can accurately measure your cost per lead, cost per appointment, and cost per closed transaction. You know exactly which advertising works and which advertising doesn't.
