How do I find Real Estate keywords? …and why are they so important? In search engine professional terms, what we are talking about is the concept of targeting long tail keywords or what used to be referred to as "bottom feeding". What are Long Tail Keywords?
Long Tail keywords are those 3, 4, and 5 word keyword phrases which are very, very specific to what you are selling and "where" you are selling it. Whenever a customer uses a highly specific search phrase, they tend to be looking for exactly what they are actually going to buy. There are significantly less daily search counts for these phrases however in almost every situation, such extremely specific searches are far more likely to convert to a desired action (lead generation) than general generic searches. Generic Searches tend to be geared more toward the type of research that consumers typically do prior to making a decision. To help illustrate this phenomenon, let’s take a look at the typical step-by-step path that a home buyer travels on the way to a making a home purchase. The Buyer first begins to think about moving or buying a new home.
The Buyer seeks information about housing in preparation for possible purchase.
The Buyer evaluates alternatives to product (location, features, pricing, etc…). REQUESTS MORE INFORMATION
The Buyer then makes a decision to VISIT specific communities or homes. MAKES CONTACT TO ARRANGE VISIT
The Buyer narrows the communities, neighborhoods or homes and requests to meet with a Sales Professionals
The Buyer then commits to Buy, or goes back to step 3 to "rule out" current housing candidates.
The Buyer then evaluates the buying experience, the home and community after buying it and may provide referral. Using the above 7 step path to a purchase as our scenario, you can probably already see that you want to target the consumer who is in step 3 or 4 A Buyer makes their VISIT Decision.
…because once they have made their decision to buy something and "where", that’s when they start using very specific search phrases to seek out their target purchase. The Good News About Long Tail Real Estate Keywords
Highly specific multi-word phrases tend to be far easier to rank well in the search engines than the more generic single keyword or double keyword phrases. Here’s a specific example. Let’s say you have specialized in a niche market, Golf Course Properites in Southern California. At first, you might consider targeting a generic phrase like "Golf Course Communities" or "California Golf Cource Communities". After all, Golf Course Communities is what your prospects are looking for. However, if you tried to go after that phrase, you’d be facing direct competition from big portal sites like GolfRealEstateOnline.com or GolfCourseRealty.com, etc. It’s unlikely you’d be able to knock any of those sites out of the top 10 unless you’re willing to invest a significant amount of money, a huge amount of time, and create a ton of content. But, even more important, Golf Course Communities isn’t the best phrase for you to target anyway. That’s because many people who search using that phrase are doing very general research on where they might like to go. They’re probably not saying to themselves… "I’m looking for a Golf Course Communities in California, on the 9th hole."
or “I’m looking for a Golf Course Community in Southern California that allows pets” If they were, they’d be entering something different than "Golf Course Communities in California" Long Tail Real Estate Keyword Advice
So let’s look at some of the keywords that are specific to what you’re selling—keywords that you can start ranking for and generating traffic and lead conversions right away. Here are a few highly specific key phrases that relate to customers who are much later in the buying cycle—at least at step 3, perhaps at step 4: Pelican Hill Golf Course Properties in Newport Beach CA
Pebble Beach Golf Club and Oceanfront Homes For Sale
Of course, these are just a few examples. I’m sure you could think of many more. However, the point is twofold; The long tail keywords are much easier to rank for.
People who search by using long tail keywords are far more likely to become leads and visitors to your website and if they visit they are much more likely to purchase! Even More Good News on Long Tail Real Estate Keywords
Of course this suggests that you should be creating pages that zero-in on capturing long tail keyword searchers. And, since there are potentially so many different long tail combinations that searchers may use to buy what you offer, that means you’ll likely be creating even more pages. The goods news is that Google likes sites that have more pages. It makes the site look more substantial, more established, and even more real in the eyes of the world’s most popular search engine. Keep in mind that your “unique” pages need only be variants of your main offering(s) but focused on a specific long tail niche. Therefore, each and every page will have a unique title, description meta tag, h1 header tag, and body content that emphasizes your community by using the long tail keyword that you choose for each specific page. None of this is exceptionally difficult, but it sure does work well to capture prospects at the optimum stage of the buying process! Therefor, instead of focusing on just two or three highly competitive general keywords, target the dozens or even hundreds of easy-to-rank-for long tail real estate keywords. Also keep in mind, however, that the downside of focusing too much effort on the long tail keywords is, if you target phrases which are too specific, you might not get enough traffic. That’s why it’s best to have: Some pages sending you large amounts of less-targeted traffic, and
a large number of pages with each sending you small amounts of highly targeted traffic. But overall, it’s best to think of it this way; would you rather rank for one keyword which sent you 1000 web site visitors a day or 200 key phrases, half of which sent you 1 lead a day? After you do the math you’ll see that 100 leads is much better than 1000 web site visitors who are only doing research. And there is no question that the use of ultra-specific keywords demonstrate a greater intent to buy on the part of the prospect. This simply leads to more leads which is, of course, what you are really after. The difficulty with Long Tail Real Estate Keywords
There’s just no substitute for Research In the end there is no substitute for doing professional keyword research and determining which keywords have enough traffic to make them worth going after. And this effort MUST be combined with doing a comprehensive competitive analysis to determine which keywords you’ll be able to successfully pursue and rank for based on the sites you’d have to compete against. When pursuing easily ranked, traffic generating long tail real estate keywords you cannot afford to "just guess". For instance which phrase gets searched more? Retirement Communities California
California Retirement Communities
Retirement Community California
California Retirement Community
