Ranking First in Google

In the competitive world of real estate investment, having a killer property portfolio isn’t enough. You need to rank first on Google to get the best deals. Wondering how the top investors do it? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the top three strategies that will have your competition wondering how you pulled it off, all while leveraging the power of Left Main’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management).

1. Master the Art of Local SEO with Your Real Estate CRM
Local SEO is your golden ticket to dominating search results in your target areas. Think of it like this: if you’re investing in Chicago, you want anyone searching for real estate opportunities there to find you first. Your real estate CRM can play a crucial role here.

• Google My Business: If you haven’t claimed and optimized your Google My Business (GMB) profile, you’re missing out. Use your CRM to keep your profile updated with accurate contact information, high-quality images, and regular updates. Encourage happy clients to leave positive reviews — these can significantly boost your local ranking.
• Local Keywords: Use keywords that include your target locations. Instead of just “real estate investment,” go for “real estate investment in Chicago” or “best property deals in Houston.” Use your CRM’s data analytics to identify which local keywords are performing best.
• NAP Consistency: Ensure that your Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) are consistent across all online platforms. Inconsistent information can confuse search engines and hurt your ranking. Your CRM can help manage and synchronize this information across various channels. Consistency is key here, and yes, Google cares about these little details.

2. Content is King (But Only if It’s Relevant)
Creating content for the sake of content won’t get you anywhere. Your blog posts, videos, and social media updates need to provide real value to potential clients, and your CRM can help you tailor this content more effectively.

• Market Analysis and Trends: Publish regular updates on market trends, property value forecasts, and investment opportunities. Use insights from your CRM to tailor these updates to what your audience is most interested in.
• Success Stories: Share detailed case studies of your investment successes. Real numbers, real stories. Potential clients want to see proof that you can deliver. Your CRM can help you track and organize these success stories, making it easier to share them.
• SEO-Optimized Articles: Write articles that are not only informative but also optimized for search engines. Use relevant keywords naturally throughout your content, and don’t forget those all-important meta descriptions. It’s about striking the perfect balance between valuable content and SEO best practices. Your CRM can provide data on which keywords are driving the most traffic and conversions, allowing you to refine your content strategy.

3. PPC: Pay to Play Smart
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising can give you a quick visibility boost, but it’s not just about throwing money at Google and hoping for the best. You need a smart, targeted approach, and your real estate CRM can be a game-changer here.

• Targeted Campaigns: Focus your ads on specific demographics and locations. If you’re looking to attract investors in Miami, tailor your ad copy and keywords to that audience. Broad, generic ads will drain your budget without delivering results. Use your CRM to segment your audience and create highly targeted campaigns.
• A/B Testing: Don’t settle for your first attempt. Run A/B tests on your ad copy, landing pages, and calls-to-action. Find out what resonates most with your target audience and refine accordingly. It’s like fine-tuning a classic car — a little tweak here and there can make all the difference. Your CRM can track these tests and provide detailed analytics to guide your decisions.
• Remarketing: Use remarketing to stay on the radar of people who have already visited your site. Maybe they weren’t ready to invest the first time around, but a well-timed ad can bring them back when they are. It’s about staying top-of-mind without being intrusive. Your CRM can automate and optimize these remarketing efforts for maximum efficiency.

Ranking first on Google isn’t a matter of luck; it’s about leveraging the right strategies with precision and consistency. From nailing your local SEO and crafting relevant, high-value content to executing smart PPC campaigns, these tested and proven techniques can put you ahead of the competition. And by integrating your real estate CRM into these strategies, you’ll not only boost your SEO but also streamline your operations and improve client relationships. So, go ahead — claim your spot at the top. Your next big deal depends on it.
