Challenge
Build organic visibility for a huge, multi-city website as quickly as possible on a brand-new domain.
Solution
We produced a large volume of well-researched content ahead of launching the website and ramped up efforts soon after everything went live. Targeted outreach was conducted simultaneously to promote this content and ultimately acquire links to increase its visibility on the web.
We strategically blocked Google from crawling ANY listings for the first few months of the site being live, slowly opening things up over time with key/focus areas. While seemingly counter-intuitive for a real estate website, this forced search engines to only crawl the content we produced rather than thousands of listing pages that can be found across thousands of different real estate websites.
Rather than waiting for traffic/leads to materialize (which are lagging indicators), we focused entirely on what we could control—our input.
Results
Eventually, this non-stop effort did result in traffic and leads. Thousands of organic visitors reach Texas Real Estate Source every day. If we were to pay for similar traffic, we’d be spending upwards of $360,000 per year. Despite unforced registration on listings, we receive leads and inquiries daily.
