Real Estate SEO & Domain Authority

I want to talk about domain authority and how it applies to SEO for real estate websites. 

This is an SEO topic that I think most Realtors® Team leaders, Brokers, and even real estate SEO experts don’t have a strong grasp on, yet it is one of the most important factors in ranking a website.

First, let’s make a distinction between “on page” and “off-page” SEO,

On-Page SEO For Real Estate 

On-page SEO is what you can physically do or have your team of programmers, designers, writers, and SEO people do to your website.

Should a real estate company hire internal SEO?

While having an internal SEO offers some advantages, it may not be the most cost-effective or efficient solution for many real estate

It' not very often you get a chance to work with a legendary company like RISMedia. 

This past year we have had the great fortune of working with John Featherston and his whole team at RISMedia on their rebrand and website redesign and it has truly been a career-defining project. 

John and the team were kind enough to share these words. 

Here is the full press release: 

Vancouver, Canada. March 1, 2021 -- RISMedia the leading information and news provider to the residential real estate industry, today unveiled their new, modern brand and tagline “Integrity In Real Estate” as well as a comprehensive overhaul of their entire website and technology platform.

Greetings valued customers,

I’m writing this post to help explain REW’s deprecation policy and also to help our customers understand the serious potential risks involved in running deprecated platforms as well as the significant advantages of upgrading to current technology. 

I recognize that if you are reading this you have likely come here via one of two channels. Either you have been sent here by an account manager who is being proactive about encouraging you to upgrade or you are an existing customer who is having a technical issue with a deprecated platform and you have been told that it is no longer supported. 

Note: If you have already ordered your Renaissance platform you do not need to continue reading. Thank you for your order, you are

Recently some of our clients in Florida have reported receiving letters from lawyers threatening legal action against them due to fair housing violations. These letters generally are claiming that the client’s real estate website is not accessible according to ADA and that constitutes discrimination under the fair housing act. 

This is very similar to what we saw a few years ago when lawyers were going after ADA specifically (not related to fair housing) but this addition of “Fair Housing” is a new twist and one we feel all customers should take seriously.  

Why it really sucks

When a law firm (or someone pretending to be a law firm) sends you a threatening letter it can be very stressful. Generally, these actions not only demand compensation

I’ve been in the prop tech space for 16 years. In this time, I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting some of the most creative, intelligent, inspiring entrepreneurs in the world. We have hustled shows together, we have learned together and we have grown together. In these 16 years I have been truly blessed to also have made some great friends.

As we head into 2020 I find myself thinking: Wow it’s a new decade! Can you believe it?

For me it’s a special time.

Personally, I have turned 40, my youngest is now a teenager, my oldest is 24. I have decided to focus on my health & personal wellness, my relationships & family (especially my marriage to my amazing wife) and I’ve found myself focused far more on what I can do to feel like I’ve done right by

 Ever since my post iOi article I have received a lot of interest from companies and founders asking me to give feedback on, evaluate or acquire their businesses. Some really awesome people with great vision and a love for prop tech just the kind of people I love spending time with.

There are also some really exciting companies that are growing, have a great customer base, have not over leveraged debt, are at or near profitability and have a unique product set that could really benefit REW and our customers. I’m extra excited about the potential to have some of these companies and their people join REW. We’re being super picky about where we put our resources (time and investment funds) but I think in 2020 you’ll see some great new additions to the REW

So it’s the end of 2019 and we're coming into the beginning of 2020.

I’m headed over to one of my favourite conferences, the One C21 conference for Century 21 Canada.

Before I head out, I touch base with our customers. I send out a blast email letting them know about a new CRM, a new promo etc (you know doing my sales & marketing thing) and for those that write back I also ask them a very important question.

“How has your experience with REW been so far?”

I ask because I genuinely want to know. I want to make sure we’re as good as we can be, but also since I know I’m headed to a conference where we have hundreds of customers, I need to be prepared to work on any relationships that need love. "Run towards any problems” that is what Tim from my
