Should Realtors® Use Video to Market Their Listings?

By Marketing Strategy

While all real estate markets are different and the type of real estate you sell may influence your decision, but here are 3 links to studies that make using video a smart move.

73% of homeowners say they are more likely to list with an agent who uses video (NAR)
403% more inquiries are driven from listings with video (NAR)
51% of home buyers use YouTube as their number one destination for a search (NAR)

Remember that your use of videos is more about marketing you and making your marketing stand out versus selling the house. However, videos expand the market area for your listing.

Website Makeover For the Walker Ottawa Real Estate Team

By Realtor Marketing

We are excited to unveil a website makeover for Walker Ottawa that will start a trend in 2022. What’s new? No drop down menus. Why? Because our studies have shown that visitors go not go back to the main menu and visit every sub-menu. By extending the page the visitor is exposed to all of the content increasing the time spent on the site and a better chance to make a good impression.. We also used a lot of images and created defined rows of information.

Check out our portfolio of other websites and collateral marketing material we have designed. https://www.limelightmarketing.ca/our-portfolio/

The Essential Local SEO Strategy Guide

By SEO, Ubertor, Wordpress

I recently read a great post about local SEO strategy from MOZ Pro. You can click here to read the whole post.

According to MOZ. local SEO is “Local SEO is the practice of optimizing a business’s web presence for increased visibility in local and localized organic search engine results. Proximity, prominence, and relevance are the three pillars of local search. Local SEO employs a wide array of technical and creative efforts to convince search engines that a business should be prominent in their results as a relevant answer to online searchers in close proximity to each business location.” Also imporant to note “a Google representative stated in 2018 that 46% of Google’s searches have a local intent.” We can only assume that it is much higher now.

I encourage you to read this post.
