SEO Checklist for Real Estate Listings

How to Increase Website Visibility and Attract Homebuyers

Traditional SEO practices that solely focus on keywords are quickly becoming outdated. A significant leak of Google’s internal documents revealing over 14,000 ranking factors highlights a pivotal shift towards user engagement and intent-based SEO practices. Search engines now prioritize content that resonates with users and aligns with their search intent, rather than emphasizing keywords, backlinks, and meta tags.  

This shift indicates that Google is focusing more on the quality of content rather than its quantity.  For real estate listings, this means focusing on hyper-local content, user-friendly search tools, and in-depth resources that resonate with buyers’ specific needs. 

The following guide provides frameworks beyond your standard keyword strategies to increase your listings’ visibility and establish a robust online presence, such as:

  1. Developing High-Quality Content that Targets User Intent
  2. Optimizing Your Visual Content
  3. Ensuring Your Site Is Mobile-Friendly
  4. Encouraging User Interaction on Your Listings
  5. Incorporating Deep Linking Within Your Website
  6. Submitting an XML Sitemap to Search Engines
