Tips for Getting Leads for Your Real Estate Website

Do you want your real estate website to generate more qualified leads for your business? Of course you do! Even if your website is running like a well-oiled machine, there's always room for improvement. Generating more leads through your website depends in part on the stuff you see – social media links, content marketing, search engine optimization – but also on some of the less visible aspects of online marketing. Of course, quality is just as important as quantity, so you also want to make sure that you're generating leads who are genuinely interested in what you have to offer.

Looking for More Leads? It All Starts with an Optimized Website!

Ahead, we'll cover some simple tips to help make sure that your website is generating leads to its fullest potential. The team at Delta Media Group has extensive experience in real estate marketing, and we're happy to share our knowledge with you to help grow your business.

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – If you want potential leads to find your website, you need to show up where they're most likely to be looking. Search engines are major drivers of online traffic, so ranking well for local real estate searches is a huge part of marketing and lead generation. SEO also allows you to lock on to the region that you serve, so that you won't be competing for attention with real estate businesses outside of your area.

• Social Media Integration – Social media is an excellent place to find qualified leads because you can learn so much about a person from their social profile. Make it easy for tech-savvy prospects to find your website by maintaining a social media presence, and linking your website content back to your social media pages. That way a prospect can either contact you directly through social, or find your website easily.

• Prominent Contact Information – Make it easy for leads to contact you by displaying your contact information prominently on your website. You can add basic contact information to the header or footer of every page, and you'll also want to have a contact page where prospects can easily locate all of your contact information in one place.

• Email List Sign-Up & Contact Form – Generating traffic is the first step, but you also need a way to acquire contact information once a prospect reaches your site. Your "contact us" page should have a form that allows prospects to contact you directly through your website. If you offer emailed listings or any other type of email marketing, your sign-up form will be another great place to acquire contact information.

• Premium Content Offers – It's much easier to get prospects to provide contact information if you provide something valuable in return, and offering premium content is an excellent incentive. You can offer updated listings, long-form content with tips for buying or selling homes, or even a city guide that's packed with local knowledge. When a prospect signs up to receive premium content, they benefit from the content, while you benefit from the contact information that they provide in exchange.

Your online lead generation efforts should be customized to fit your real estate business, and your target audience. The tips we shared above are fundamentals that will work for nearly every real estate marketing plan, but there's plenty more you can do to make the most of your website lead generation. Contact the experienced team at Delta Media Group to learn how to generate more leads – and more closed deals – through your real estate website.
