Promotion Strategy

Real estate is one of the most competitive areas in the Internet. And that makes sense since the sale of property tends to provide a really high income.

The approaches to promotion in this domain are very dynamic and change regularly. When we started the promotion of our first project back in 2010, we had to compete only with small agencies like ourselves. But since 2018, aggregators and search engine services have been prioritized in the top positions of SERPs.

Such changes and new promotion trends require well-coordinated analysis and regular willingness to update resources. On the average, a website design alone needs to be updated once in 3-4 years to stay afloat.

Other efforts include – partner integrations, interaction systems with a steadily growing customer base, analytic services that evaluate work efficiency and conversion quality.

When creating our promotion strategy, we focus on the proper project structure (architecture), website technical optimization, commercial factors, usability based on the user behavior analysis, and complex SEO optimization.

01 Project Architecture

Here we should point out the importance of URL pages hierarchy, object nesting, dependency and sitewide interlinking. Moreover, it’s worth considering the specifics of real estate market to put different real estate categories into separate groups – real estate from a developer (primary market), secondary market, new constructions, etc. A healthy competitive environment usually supports great number of subcategories, that’s why it’s important to consider the way of promotion for this or that subcategory beforehand and to understand what section it will have as a parent one. It’s not enough just to create “apartments” and “houses” categories.


It’s important to think over what types of apartments there are on a website and what subtypes they might have.

02 Technical Optimization

This part depends to a large extent on the competent project architecture. Proper and skillful nesting eliminates the possibility of creating empty subcategories, broken sections, repeated presence of one and the same object in different sections, etc.


Another important factor is the speed characteristics according to the recommendations of Google PageSpeed Insights, LightHouse, Web Vitals.js and others. Oftentimes real estate websites contain a large database of images, thus skillful indexing of these images is the key to a successful attraction of additional traffic.


Videos of real estate objects require certain attention as well, since they tend to significantly increase the weight of a project and affect its speed. A well-coordinated development team can help to cope with such technical issues. That is why at Webdelo we have a permanent team of programmers to assist our SEO department.

03 Commercial Factors

Since real estate is an organized business, it’s essential to take into consideration all commercial factors of this type of business: the section “About the Company” should be properly designed, all company details should be indicted as well as current reviews on Google and Yandex.Maps. We regularly remind our clients that commercial factors have a direct impact on the choice a website visitor makes when deciding which company to work with. Therefore, our main job is not only to provide SEO optimization but also to convince clients that our website can be trusted and our real estate agency is worth working with.

04 Behavioral
Factors

The choice of a property is a very important step in the life of each of our users. That is why we try to regularly analyze their behavior and adjust usability factors to provide the best experience while using mobile and desktop website versions.

05 Complex SEO Optimization

SEO optimization of a real estate website includes: on-page optimization of main landing pages for categories and subcategories, optimization of product pages (Usually, we use individual approach to each object instead of a stereotyped one. After all, every apartment or house is unique in its own way and requires individual attention), creation, maintenance and optimization of article section to attract and convert informational traffic.

We are working with projects from different countries. Currently, our portfolio includes real estate promotion projects in over 5 countries.

The VPUT project is a case of development and promotion of a large aggregator of rental real estate created on a turnkey basis from scratch. It’s a multilingual, multi-domain, complex, interesting and top-notch project. We used many marketing and SEO techniques in the promotion of this project. To combine a large semantic core the website uses a lot of internal landing pages as well as information pages to draw convertible traffic.

7 years of intensive promotion resulted in holding the leading SERP positions for the Bulgarian region. We are launching promotion in the regions of Greece and Montenegro as well. The website is indexed well both in Yandex and Google. This site is in the top positions on the Google SERP for generalized queries regarding vacation by the sea that don’t specify a region.

Realty Spain
Website: relatysp.com
Region:
Spain

Initially, this project consisted of two different websites villareal.ru and realtysp.com
At the first stages of our work we tried to understand the general visibility of each of the sites, doing our best to provide technical optimization and on-page configuration in the main sections of the menu. Once having achieved more accurate visibility of the projects, we identified the affiliation of the projects with realtysp.com being the main domain. That is why villareal.ru was merged using 301 redirect. After that realtysp.com began to grow steadily and in a short time it was able to land on the top 2 positions of the Google SERP for the main most popular query “недвижимость в Испании”. We kept it there for many years, simultaneously working on and expanding its semantics in new directions. We payed special attention to Barcelona and resort towns as well as to the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol, Costa Brava. All low- and mid-frequency queries were anchored in SERP tops and provided good conversion traffic.

With the growth of the hotel chain we started to expand the project for high-frequency queries related to daily apartment rent and reached TOP 20 in SERP. Due to the pandemic, we included an option for a long-term rent into our promotion.

The complexity of this project consisted in its technical structure. Initially it contained a huge number of technical errors and duplicated, broken links and intersections of the URL hierarchy for the English and Russian domains. We provided technical audit and a complete technical requirement specification for a programmer. We implemented most of the edits. After that the works on the project were suspended due to the pandemic; however, this website has significantly improved its visibility in the SERP and that is reflected on the charts below.

The special appeal of this project consisted in combination of two competitive niches within one site: the sale and rent of real estate in Moscow.
In order to combine these queries we separated these directions and used different internal landings for various clusters of regional groups (property in a specific area of Moscow). Besides, commercial real estate was transferred into a separate group. The block of products on the main page was accompanied by spectral words according to the “Korolyov” algorithm by Yandex (now it’s “Palekh” and “Yati”). Separate spam parts of the listing were hidden from indexing. Our final achievement was hitting the SERP TOP 10 in the domain of commercial real estate rent (office rent) in Moscow.

Of course, we are not ready to share all the secrets of our approach, but I’d like to point out that complex SEO promotion also includes working with content marketing, link factors and social networking websites.



Additionally, we create and support contextual advertising (search targeting, remarketing, retargeting, etc.) and targeted advertising on social media for our clients.
