Blog Content Suggestion

[Smuck]

I wanted to make a blog content suggestion for anyone who posts blogs to garner new clients.

Colleen (the wife, boss, and our broker) wrote up an offer yesterday for a client that came to us through a blog entry we wrote. I published a blog entry about homes in Sun Willows. Well, if a person searches for 'sun willows homes' especially adding the city 'pasco' to it, our blog comes up number one. Our client came to us as a result of looking for a home in Sun Willows! There are probably only 100 homes in Sun Willows, but I knew we would eventually get a client.

My point is, everyone serious about getting clients through search needs to have content about every community, park, place, etc., in their respective cities. Generally, these topics are easy to rank for, receives minimal traffic, but pay off in the long run.

For those with cool idx searches, you can draw the client in by adding a link to a map search of the community in your blog entry. I believe REW's idx functionality allows for map searches plus more.

Anyway, I just thought I would throw the blog entry content suggestion out to anyone interested.

P.S. I just published a blog entry about our local softball complex being rated #1 in the nation. Do ya think I wrote the blog entry about the softball complex, or for the search, 'homes by pasco softball complex.' Hmm, probably both!

Good advice as always Joe!

Thanks Benjamin! I'm probably 'preaching to the choir' when posting this to you or some of the other seasoned folk around here, but thought I would suggest something to some who are kinda starting out and need some easy to attract search traffic.

It's never to late to teach an old dog new tricks in my book Joe.

That is great advice. Using very specific location targeted keywords in your blog not only makes it easy to rank in search engines but you get better conversions. The users searching for specific terms are more likely to be in a buying frame of mind than the ones that are using general search terms.

Absolutely true, many clients are looking for properties through search. Having a good quality blog content which is related to your business is a good way to reach that potential client. Your purpose here is for the benefits of the readers and to get readers converted as a client.

My site doesn't do well for my large keywords like Pocono Real Estate, or Lake Wallenpaupack Real estate, but my site ranks in the top 3 for almost every community I have a page for, with hardly no seo on those pages.

It is very easy to rank for specific areas/communities/towns.

And a very good practice Dave. The Sun Willows home search I started this thread closed last week. All because I took a few minutes to write a blog entry about the community.

Great advice! I received a few leads just like that in the past. I guess I need to blog more instead of looking through this forum! lol
