ACTIONABLE ONLINE MARKETING TECHNIQUES…

 

1) Run an ad this week on Facebook to target potential sellers within a 1-mile radius of your listing

 

2) Optimize your listing descriptions with the hottest keywords in your market so your listings rank well on Google

 

3) Create niche landing pages on your website – Think waterfront homes, single story homes, condos, etc

 

4) Optimize all of your YouTube Videos so they show up on the first page of Google

 

5) Blog about new businesses that are coming to town and how local jobs, traffic, or home values may be affected

14) Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console so your website is automatically indexed every time you create a new page or post
