    BASIC SEO PROGRAM BY ESTATEVUE

    The basic SEO marketing program is a great program for various stages of your real estate business. For beginners looking to get their feet wet this is an easy product to understand.

    Our program is based on keyword sets. Keyword sets are the phrases that your customers use to find you in search engines online. For example, if your customer was new to your city and wanted to find a REALTOR® then they might load up Google and type in 'best REALTOR® in city name'. With a little luck, they might find your website. With a program like our basic SEO program, your "luck" begins to increase. That's because it's not luck and there isn't a magic switch to flip to simply turn it on or off. SEO is one of those amazing components to marketing that offers tangible marketing ROI, however, it takes time, consistency, and patience. The changes ebb and flow throughout weeks and months. Overall, when you look at an SEO graph over one year you should see a slow and steady climb.

    Before we begin, we analyze which key terms are popularly searched in your local market areas.  We then analyze some other data like how long you've been in business, what weight your current website carries, and how much content you currently have. There are many factors that go into the creation of your SEO program. We can discuss these with you and generally we formulate a collaborative plan.

    This month we aren't discussing the technical stuff though. We're discussing the stuff that you can actually see. That's because each month we do the following work on a basic SEO website.

    Write Content

    Each month we curate unique content for a blog article. This content is written to appeal to search engines. It is also optimized for the key terms that we have decided on above. These topics can be written based on your input and ideas, however, the majority of our customers appeal to the set and forget it program.

    Post and Optimize Content

    The original content that we produce is then formatted and added to your website's blog page. The articles are posted at relatively the same time each month for consistency. At the same time that we add the content, we are also ensuring that the SEO and Readability of the article are optimized to appeal to search engines.

    Photos

    We add at least one royalty-free stock image to compliment the article topic.  This image is optimized for SEO purposes. At your request, we can send you this image along with the link to your article so that you may use it in your social media posts for backlinks.

    Maintenance

    When we log in to your website each month we also ensure that things are working properly. Each month we manually clear your cache and review your plugins.  Your website plugins should always be kept up to date in order to maintain speed and security.

    Reporting

    This program includes basic quarterly reporting. The reporting will include a link to review the article that was posted for the month. It will also include information on any other updates, or maintenance that was performed, eg: how many plugins required updating. More often we use our reporting to communicate your overall position increases, along with strategies you can employ to help us, help you, increase your rankings.

    WHO IS THE BASIC SEO PROGRAM BEST FOR?

    The basic SEO program is a great plan to keep your website content fresh for a low cost. It also ensures that your website stays secure and up to date in technology. While it does not include core updates, nor backlinking services we are always providing opportunities for you to get involved. With the basic program, you can be confident that your site is being looked after in good hands.

    This is a great solution for established agents looking to maintain an already established website or for new agents who are looking to get their feet wet with SEO.

    All SEO programs are offered on a two-year contract.

    WHAT DOES AN UPGRADE TO MWP GET ME?

    estatevue real estate marketing mwpWhen you choose to subscribe to our MWP program you get more time allotted to your account each month. With more time comes more services. Not only do you get all of the above but they also include some bonuses.

    Keep reading below to find out the key differences between basic and MWP:

    Write MORE Content

    Our MWP clients benefit from extensive content development. Each monthly article contains a minimum of 800 words. We also pay close attention to your cornerstone pages within your website to ensure they are also optimized based on your specific key terms. We either add, delete or modify the content on these pages to achieve perfect Readability and SEO scores within our software.

    Post and Optimize MORE Content

    Each month a blog article is posted to your news section. At the same time, we also add any content that you have sent over to us. This could include monthly newsletters, brokerage news, or local market stats. It could even be custom-written posts from your internal team if you have additional news to share. These additional internal posts are scheduled to release throughout the course of the month. This is a great tactic for keeping your website content extra fresh.

    MORE Photos

    Our MWP customers benefit from multiple photos. We include a featured image in your blog post with a watermark for your brand or brokerage logo. We also source up to 6-8 additional images for use in social media posts.

    Maintenance

    All website plugins are regularly checked to ensure speed and security are upheld. This is a very important step. We also make regular recommendations in our reporting to keep you apprised of any maintenance milestones that might be coming up. These can include core updates and more.

    Reporting

    This program includes bi-monthly reporting. The reporting will include a link to review the article that was posted for the month. We also indicate if any other posts have been scheduled for the month. pages that were optimized for better SEO and Readability are also noted at this time. Reporting will also include information on any other website maintenance that was performed, eg: how many plugins required updating.

    We also share stats on your social media statistics if available. More importantly, we share insight into your SEO positioning and traffic. Our goal is always on increasing your website visibility in the search engines.

    Social Media Posting and Backlinks

    Another key difference in the MWP program is our backlinking program. We tie your social media accounts into our software for Google's My Business, Facebook (META), and Twitter.  Each month we create 6-8 posts scheduled across these three mediums.  Each post includes a backlink to the article that was created for the month. The posts all include royalty-free stock images and are appropriately tagged.

    This portion of the MWP program helps to keep your social profiles up to date and fresh. It also helps to distribute backlinks to your website, which is an important component of SEO.

    In addition to creating backlinks on social media, we include one post on our own social media accounts to your monthly article. This is also shared in a monthly blog article on our website each month. Keep reading to see examples of how this is achieved each month below.

    WHO IS THE MWP SEO PROGRAM BEST FOR?

    real estate seo basic marketing planThe MWP real estate marketing plan is best for agents who are looking to make a dent in their rankings. The extra time each month allows us to create authoritative content for your website each month. It also allows us time to share that content in order to increase your website visibility. If you or your team members are not able to share links to your website due to time constraints, technology barriers, or otherwise then this is the program to consider. It's fully automated and highly effective.
