I recently read a great post about local SEO strategy from MOZ Pro. You can click here to read the whole post.
According to MOZ. local SEO is “Local SEO is the practice of optimizing a business’s web presence for increased visibility in local and localized organic search engine results. Proximity, prominence, and relevance are the three pillars of local search. Local SEO employs a wide array of technical and creative efforts to convince search engines that a business should be prominent in their results as a relevant answer to online searchers in close proximity to each business location.” Also imporant to note “a Google representative stated in 2018 that 46% of Google’s searches have a local intent.” We can only assume that it is much higher now.
Over the years working with new Realtors® I notice there was no roadmap to ensure they covered all the steps to be a successful Realtor® so I broke down all of the tasks, prioritized them and added a recommended time frame.

This website has a page for every city, town, village and county in Alberta. A total of 798 pages. We used the WordPress CMS and we have integrated the MyRealPage IDX feed. As Alberta has gone to one real estate board this site is the first to capitalize on the change.

If you have a lot of pages with long drop-down menus, there is a better way to display them. Bonnie Looby’s website has 64 lake pages, 18 Community pages and 23 price range pages.

“You have to remember that your personal brand already exists. People Google you when they are considering hiring you, or they look for references online when they are thinking about buying from you. If nothing exists, that can have as much of an impact as having the wrong information show up. Just like the clothes you wear, how you communicate, the ideas you share, and the things you create, your footprint in the world represents you regardless of what you think.”
“Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.”
