Hey everyone,

Building backlinks is still a good way to build authority (and boost SEO) for your website. I know that some people are struggling to earn them, so I wanted to share these tips on how you can get started:

  1. Create good, engaging content: Write blog posts, local guides, or free tools like mortgage calculators that others would naturally want to link to.

  2. Share your content: Post your blogs and listings on social media and send them to your contacts. More exposure = higher chances of backlinks.

  3. Leverage online profiles: Make sure your website link is on every online profile you have like your brokerage site.

  4. Help the community: Participating in charity events or sponsorships can get you links on organizers’ websites. However, even without backlinks, I still encourage you to join outreach programs as a way to give back to the community that supports us.

  5. Write guest posts: Offer to write quality articles to relevant sites in exchange for a link in your website.

  6. Write testimonials for vendors: Write and give testimonials to lenders, inspectors, stagers, etc., and ask them to include your website link when they post it.

  7. Land a spot on resource pages: Find reputable real estate resource pages and ask to have your site included.

  8. Research your competition: Check who links to your competitors, reach out, introduce yourself, and see if they’d link to your site too.

  9. Leverage collaborations: Work with partners on marketing campaigns or content. You can ask for backlinks naturally, but avoid suggesting you’ll link them in return, since that can violate Google’s guidelines

  10. Fix broken links & unlinked mentions: Search for broken links or unlinked mentions of your business and ask the site owners to update them. You can find unlinked mentions of your business or website by typing “[Your Business Name]” -site:[yourwebsite.com] in Google.
