Agents
SEO for estate agents that wins instructions
SEO for estate agents is about the vendor and the landlord, not the buyer. Property portals win most buyer searches, but valuation and letting searches are where an agent site can win.
Marketing for estate agents through search works best with area guides and valuation pages for each part of your patch. Vendors search for agents in their area, and they want local proof.
SEO for letting agents adds landlord searches, such as letting fees, property management and landlord guides. These bring instructions that last for years.

The problem
Why agents struggle to get found
SEO problems for agents usually come from sites built around property listings. These six issues come up most.
No valuation pages
Agents without area valuation pages miss the vendors searching for them.
Thin listing pages
Expired listings and portal-style pages create thin content.
No area guides
Area knowledge stays in your team's heads instead of on your site.
Landlords ignored
Letting agents with no landlord content miss long-term clients.
Fees hidden
Landlords compare fees, and hidden fees send them to competitors.
Search terms
What vendors and landlords search for
Agent search terms split into valuation, landlord and area searches. We map each group to one page so pages never compete.

Area knowledge
Area guides that win valuations
SEO for estate agents is strongest when your local knowledge is on the page. Area guides covering streets, schools, transport and property types rank for vendor and buyer research searches.

Estate agent SEO built on area guides also lasts. Guides updated with each season of sales keep ranking year after year, while listing pages come and go every week.
