Part Two: One Great Website is Good, Many good Websites is Great
Unfortunately for those who work in the SEO field, no one website will show up highly in all relevant search fields. While an individual brokerage can climb search rankings for real estate related searches in their market, like Chautauqua County, competition because much harder if not impossible for larger fields, such as New York, or heaven forbid, simply Real Estate. Good Brokerages recognize this and develop relationships with larger sites to make sure their listings are displayed there as well. The technical term for this is syndication.
To explain this, I will use our company, Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate as an example. Our main websitehttp://www.howardhannaholt.com does very well if someone was going to search a general market term like. “Chautauqua County Real Estate”. We also run local office and agent websites, such ashttp://www.hhhfredoniahomes.com to cater to individual market searches such as, “Fredonia NY homes for sale”. However many of our buyers come from outside markets. Our listings also are displayed on howardhanna.com, which has the largest market share in NY, PA, OH, and WV. Additionally our listings are displayed on qualified member sites of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, the largest network of brokerages that exists. That same listing will also be displayed on industry staples such as REALTOR.com, Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo Real Estate, and many more. While we like to keep some of our cards in hand, a listing with us will not just go up on our local board, office, or agent’s website, but over 500 other sites nationwide.
Simply put, the more places a buyer can find your home, the better.
