Let's ChatSuccessful project marketing means generating the number of leads you need at an acceptable cost per acquisition.
The ability to deliver the number of quality leads you need and to convert at every level of the funnel is a key strength of Property Hype. We use an integrated, multi-channel approach, that includes SEO as part of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy.
Let's ChatMarketing a development presents a number of unique challenges we are well used to overcoming. The most obvious is the fact there’s often no physical product for buyers to see and feel. Then there’s the fact a development’s website is relatively short-term, because it serves no purpose after the development has been sold.
This is where good SEO is vital. You need to rank high and fast on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) so your buyers can find you quickly. You need to show up when buyers are Googling your name, particularly if there is a lot of competition in your development’s area. A lost opportunity is a lost sale.
There’s no point in spending marketing money creating awareness if you don’t show up when your buyers search for you. There’s also a high probability that your competitors’ developments will appear as part of their SEO Strategy.
Let's ChatGrowing your sales funnel beyond your existing client base and referral relationships requires you to attract new customers constantly.
Every Real Estate Agency territory, or catchment, contains a cohort of potential customers who do not have an agency relationship or are looking for a change.
SEO is one of the most effective tactics for reaching these homeowners looking to sell and owners/investors looking for a property manager and driving them to your website when they have the greatest need or intent. It’s a no-brainer, really, for if you aren’t attracting them, someone else is.
Sellers and owners are looking for cues and the reassurance that you know your local area and have the experience and expertise to help them. They need to trust you; The more ubiquitous your digital presence, the more often they see you and are impressed by you, and the easier it is to find you, the greater the chance of you receiving their attention, lead or enquiry.
SEO is a potent medium-term strategy for helping your real estate business appear higher in search rankings when someone is searching in your service area and demonstrating your expertise, authority and trustworthiness.
Increased trust and a more comprehensive online presence translate to a greater number of engaged and receptive website visitors. Couple this with an impressively effective website, and you’ll dominate your competition and reap the rewards you deserve.
Every time your audience sees your name, you’re building your brand profile. It’s much harder to convince someone you’re a local area expert if you don’t appear near the top of the page when they search your area. The chances of a click-through decrease the lower your business is ranked. Increasing your organic search ranking increases your click-through rate because it’s easier to find you.
An effective SEO strategy presents you to sellers and owners who may not have been thinking about you. Our team will help you build your profile, your audience and your business with an SEO strategy tailored to your business in your local area.
When sellers, investors or owners are searching for someone who can help, they’ll enter keywords in their search bar. This might be something like ‘best real estate agents Carine’. Or they might type a more general term first like ‘best real estate agents north’ and then narrow their search from there. As part of your SEO strategy, we look at the keywords and search terms used by your audience. Then we look at your website to ensure it’s optimised by including those same keywords and search terms. This makes it much easier for them to find you by dramatically improving your search rankings at the same time. As visitor traffic and time spent on your site increases, so does the opportunity to create more leads and conversions. Google ranks sites where visitors spend the most amount of time more highly, so the longer you can keep visitors, the better.
Optimising the content on your site is more than just filling your pages with keywords (called keyword stuffing). Google’s AI technology is on to this, and it doesn’t work. Optimising is a technical process that involves things like a review of headings, title tags, meta descriptions, content pages and their actual content, plus a lot more detailed technical process. We do it all for you, leaving you to focus on your business.
Off-site, or off-page SEO, is what we do to increase traffic from other places to your website. The reason for this is simple. Google likes sites that its visitors like and the more visitors like a site, the greater its ranking. We build traffic by using backlinks to your site from a range of quality sites. This builds your brand reputation with both your audience and Google. It’s an integrated approach that includes blog posts, social media marketing, industry listings, independent reviews and guest content from you. The essential component for off-site SEO is high quality content that will be valued by your audience. Your professional views and opinions will attract more genuine visitors back to your site, which will be noticed by Google and improve your ranking.
Technical SEO is where we make sure everything on your site meets the technical recommendations of the search engines and that your site works seamlessly across all devices. Your sellers, landlords, owners, investors or apartment buyers expect a seamless experience and Google rewards sites that deliver. This is where detail is everything. We look at how long your site takes to load, how it loads across all devices, the size and type of images you have, how they appear, how your video works and how long it takes to view. Then there’s a list of what we call web vitals, which we’ll we go through to diagnose any issues that may penalise you.
High quality traffic comes from high quality content tailored to the audience at each stage of the funnel. This increases the chances of converting a visitor into a customer. Your content marketing strategy needs to connect and engage them quickly. We look at your on-site content to see whether you need to rewrite anything or add new pages, such as video or perhaps new images. At the same time our team are looking at where you are or should be off-site.
It’s important to maintain a consistent brand voice across all your content to help differentiate you from your competitors and leave the impression you want your audience to have. If you want to be seen as a leader, the tone of voice, authority, and information you use should reflect your leadership position. Our approach is collaborative and flexible. We can work with you to help you create and publish content, or we can do it all for you.
Most businesses in the real estate industry operate in specific geographic areas or regions. When someone searches using a local reference, Google will display three high ranking local businesses first. It’s called Google’s Local Pack or Google 3 Pack. If you’re positioned as the local leader, or you want to be, then you need to appear here. It’s a great opportunity to get in front of sellers, owners, investors and landlords ahead of your competitors. We will optimise your Google My Business profile to ensure you appear in the 3 Pack. This may involve reviewing your content and user experience as well as including current reviews.
This is where we find out what’s not working and why, and what the opportunities are when we fix it for you. Our SEO team has been independently ranked as one of the best on the planet and has delivered outstanding results for clients whose sites were falling off the rankings cliff or just not working hard enough. The discoveries they make during an audit of your website can, and have, led to a dramatic turnaround in SEO performance. The follow-on increase in traffic and conversions have been a game changer for many businesses like yours. We look at everything and anything that effects SEO performance, from content and security, to social media and off-site activity. It also includes whether or not you are being penalised by search engines for something you may not even be aware of. The gaps identified during our SEO Audit will inform your SEO Strategy and become opportunities to drive business growth. .
If you change your business name you will need to change your domain name. You may also decide to have a new site designed or move to a different hosting platform. What happens to the SEO of the existing site that’s working so well? How can you migrate to the new site without dropping in the rankings and starting all over again? How much traffic will you lose? The simple answer is to leave it to Property Hype. We have the experience and the expertise to plan a successful migration where you’ll retain your rankings, retain your website authority and be in the best possible position to start increasing traffic to your new website.
Positive independent reviews, like Google Reviews, create a very high level of trust and communicate that you know your business very well. This is because they have to be earned and the only influence you have is the behaviour and reputation that create the users’ brand experience. They position your brand as an authority or leader worth giving time to. A Property Hype Google Reviews Strategy will show you how and when to engage your customers in order to generate more reviews.
Our job is to find out why your SEO isn’t delivering, or to make it work harder. What’s causing your ranking to drop instead of rise, or not improve at all? How can we improve your SEO in order to deliver the crucial lead generation your business needs?
It begins with your team of experts
We’ll arrange a meeting to ensure we understand your business, your market and your competitors.
We also need to know where you’re at with your current SEO and other marketing activity, to find out what’s working, what isn’t, and what your expectations are. To get your business back on track quickly, we’ll bring in a team to work on all the essential areas at the same time.
The combination of their proven strategic and technical expertise is focused on generating the leads you need.
Let's ChatSEO Audit
We’ll do an SEO Audit which looks at your Onsite SEO, Off-site SEO, and Technical SEO.
The audit includes looking at the keywords and search terms your competitors use before we make any recommendations. At this stage, our team is looking for other ways and other words that may be just as effective but not used by your competitors
Let's ChatOnsite SEO for peak performance
With the Onsite SEO, we look at the front end of your site, which is everything your visitors see. We need to know how they move through your site, what they’re looking at, how long it takes to find what they’re looking for, and whether your site meets Google’s expectations of what a positive user experience is.
This is important because the reward for meeting, or exceeding, Google’s expectations is a better ranking. We know what Google’s expectations are, and how and when they change, so you can just leave it to us.
Let's ChatTechnical SEO, configure for success
For the Technical SEO, we look at the back-end of your site. This is vital to ensure things like page URLS are configured properly and not duplicated, and that visitors and search engines can find the pages you want them to see.
We also check things such as speed and website tags. It’s like a tune up for your site to keep it performing smoothly.
Let's ChatOff-site SEO build your reputation
The purpose of Off-Site SEO is to create backlinks, which are literally links back to your site from other sources.
A combination of sources is the most effective and while you may be doing some of this already, our team will search and find all the places you should be to complement any activity you are already doing. This includes blogs, review sites, industry directory listings and social media.
Let's chatHigh quality content to attract and engage your audience
All of this is held together by high quality, engaging content that is of value to sellers, owners, investors and apartment buyers. With engaging content, you’ll be rewarded by the search engines and by the quality of leads you attract as your visitors will be more likely to have a genuine interest in you.
Your brand voice plays a key role in Off-Site SEO. It’s important to have a single recognisable voice wherever you are, to reinforce a consistent brand perception with your audience.
Let's ChatSuccessfully compete against industry sites while still using them
You may use a range of sites such as realsestate.com.au and Domain, as most property businesses do. But the reality is, you’re also competing with them because that’s where your competition is. We’ll develop a strategy to show you how to compete with these sites even when you are still using them.
We’ll deliver and execute an effective SEO strategy that will complement and enhance all your other marketing activity. Your SEO will keep working hard in the gaps between paid marketing campaigns.
Let's ChatBe there when your customers are
When you operate in a local area, as most real estate agents and property managers do, you need to be seen as a local expert with a track record of success in that area. The greatest number of searches will happen at the top of the funnel when sellers are thinking about selling and owners are considering renting their property. Dominating this informational search stage is important as this is where you can find the greatest number of potential new customers.
You have to be seen to be trusted
You need to be visible, you need to demonstrate your leadership position and you need to have a clear brand position that sellers or owners can connect with.
This is where our proven SEO strategies work effectively as a long-term investment. By having a continuous presence on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) and dominating the organic search space, you establish your brand as a leader who can be trusted.
Use your story and share your success to generate quality leads
Your story, your success and your local knowledge all translate into a higher level of trust to your potential clients.
Your SEO will also increase the effectiveness of your paid media marketing at a fraction of the cost, whilst filling the gaps in between campaign activity. Property Hype will put your business in front of sellers and investors, whenever they search for someone in your area. Once they click through, we’ll ensure your web content is optimised to generate quality leads and conversions.
The website of a development usually doesn’t stay live once the development has been sold. So, unlike a real estate business that operates in a local area, there’s no need for a long-term SEO strategy. However, quality SEO is still vital to success. Why? Because your new site needs to rank as high as it can, as quickly as it can, to establish the brand and location.
There may also be competing developments in the area, in which case we need to ensure you’re found first and fast.
When someone searches for your development we want them to find you, not a competitor.
We’ll develop an SEO strategy to complement your other marketing activity, build a pipeline of quality leads early and ensure you own your organic search space on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).
Property Hype has been recognised, and awarded, locally and internationally as one of the most effective SEO companies anywhere.

Increased traffic
More visitors means more conversions which leads to more sales.
With good SEO, those visitors will be the ones who are most likely to convert.
Improve ROI
Good SEO can help reduce your spending on paid advertising and media, which can lower your CPA leading to a better ROI.
Complements multi-channel marketing
SEO can amplify the effectiveness of all the other channels in your marketing mix to create a holistic marketing system.
Focus on your business and leave the leads to us
If you don’t live in the digital world, like we do, it’s almost impossible to keep up with the rapid changes that will affect the way your marketing works.
Google’s recent algorithm change to reward good SEO and punish sites using bad SEO (known as Black Hat SEO) is a good example. We know what to do because that’s all we do. We know how to drive traffic and generate quality leads using effective SEO.

Whether it’s paid advertising or sending our forgotten website presence straight to #1 organically within a year of engagement, I can honestly say I never believed Property Hype could achieve what they have for my business. They proved me wrong again and again.”
The results were well beyond our expectations. We grew by 1/3 within 12 months. Besides this, the relationship with Property Hype has been very professional, consistent, and has continued to build over time. We have recommended them to several other businesses and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them again.
The response we managed to obtain through the digital marketing implemented by Property Hype was essential in achieving the high level of sales success on the project. In fact I would say it was surprising even, both in terms of the quantity, but more importantly, the quality of the leads received. Plus backed up with great service.
SEO is a process used to improve your ranking with search engines. It uses a combination of technical and digital marketing skills to optimise your website and the content on it to make it more search engine friendly, making it easier for users to find you when they are searching for your services. This is combined with activity outside, or off your site, to create links back to your site. With SEO for real estate, the optimisation is focused on generating organic traffic to increase quality leads from sellers, owners, buyers, tenants and investors.
Yes. Making it easier and faster for your prospects to find you during an organic search is definitely good for business. Being there when your customers are searching for services like yours, in your area, can only improve your chances of being contacted. That’s what makes SEO for real estate so valuable. It works constantly in the background to improve your organic search results and complements all your other online and off-line marketing activity. If someone searches for ‘real estate agents Wembley’, and that’s your area, wouldn’t you like to be the first one who appears?
Real estate is a highly competitive industry where the decision by sellers, owners, investors or project marketers on whether or not they’ll work with you requires a high level of trust. It’s also very localised, with area and product specialists. SEO is important to help your business appear on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) when your audience is searching. It supports and reinforces your brand position by ensuring your presence. Your content will then work to increase your brand credibility and further establish trust with a consistent voice. This is how SEO builds your brand and your business at the same time.
There’s traffic, and then there’s quality traffic, that becomes quality leads and results in higher sales conversion. That’s the kind of traffic that a well-developed SEO strategy will drive to your website.
The most effective approach is a combination of SEO strategies. You need to be found when people are searching for services in your area, so having a Google My Business listing optimised to appear in the Local Pack is essential. Your website needs a content strategy to ensure your content is Search Engine friendly and to make sure your pages rank highly for particular searches such as property listings, property management and services. Then it’s time to think about creating backlinks to drive quality traffic from other sites. This includes blogs, social media, directory listings and other third party sites. Remember, user experience is important and rewarded by Search Engines. Your site needs to be optimised for both.
The first thing you need to do is research the keywords and terms buyers in your area use. This will tell you how to describe the property in a way that is relevant to your buyers. For example, there’s no point using the actual area in the description, if buyers are searching by the number of rooms. If possible, make a list of the different types of buyers that may be interested in a property. These are your buyers personas. This is important because there may be several different types of buyers, at different life stages, that could all be interested in a single property. If you think about an apartment, for example, it can appeal to first home buyers, downsizers, investors or an owner buyer. You’ll find they’ll all begin their search using different terms because their main interest is different. By listing all the personas, you can ensure your keywords and terms cover all of them, increasing your opportunity to attract a quality lead. Your listings should be promoted across your social media sites with backlinks to your website which has a detailed description of the property and local area amenities and attractions. When a property is sold, leave it on your site for a few weeks, or even months. This is a demonstration of your sales prowess and also an opportunity to redirect the visitor to similar properties you may have listed.
This depends on your site and what needs to be done with keywords and your SEO Strategy. At Property Hype, it’s normally at least $2,500 per month consulting. The more we can do each month (on an hourly basis), the faster your results. We charge by the hour and share the timesheets of the team with our clients. Because of our transparency, you can be guaranteed we are the ones actively working on your SEO, not outsourcing it to a cheaper third party and charging you a premium.
We’ll do tactical keyword research to determine this, but in most cases it’s company type + location, such as “property management agency Perth”, “real estate agency Sydney”. Sometimes we’ll drill down on the location to cover more precise geographical searches. We want keywords that people who are high quality leads – and therefore more likely to convert – will use, not broad and generic keywords with high competition and a lower ROI that won’t lead to conversions.
Local SEO is important because you need to be found and seen in your local area. You can’t claim local expertise if no-one knows you’re there. Being a real estate leader in a local area means you have knowledge and experience that will be of great value to sellers, investors and owners.
A meta title is a description that appears in the results on a Search Engine Results Page (SERP). It’s a brief summary or description of what you’ll find if you click through on any particular page listing. It’s seen by the person doing the search and also the search engines. It’s an important tool in real estate SEO because that’s where you can include the keywords you want the page to rank for.
SEO is a long-term strategy due to both the work that needs to be done initially and the on-going optimisation process. It’s not like advertising which can generate results as soon as a campaign beings. It’s more like building a solid foundation over a number of areas.
At Property Hype, we usually start to see results not too long after we begin on-site SEO. This continues to improve month on month as we roll out more content, on-site optimisation, technical SEO changes, and off-site SEO strategies. The length of time also depends on how competitive your industry is. For real estate companies, your direct competitors would most likely already be undertaking SEO and often using exactly the same keywords, so it may take some time (sometimes several months) to build up your site’s authority and overtake them in the search engine results.
SEO drives traffic to your site. It complements, supports and amplifies your other marketing activity. It makes it easier for sellers, owners and investors to find you. It builds your brand and business. High quality, relevant content increases lead generation and sales conversion.
Best practice SEO is ensuring you have the right keywords for Google to rank your page. User experience is important, and rewarding their time with a positive experience using high quality content that will build trust in your brand and business, is a good thing. But it won’t help your ranking if Google can’t find the keywords to rank the page. You can’t do this by buying backlinks, keyword stuffing, or any of the other bad practices Google is already well aware of and deploying their extensive resources to eradicate. Slow and steady wins the race with real estate SEO. Sharing your knowledge, your success and your expertise is the best way to attract visitors and generate leads.
We understand your industry and business. We are focused on generating the highest possible ROI, with no lock-in contracts and highly transparent work practices. We do it all here in Australia. Our track record of success in real estate SEO speaks for itself.
