Real estate agent marketing: local SEO, ads and AI search

Buyers and sellers now start with Google and AI tools, not a yard sign. We help you own local search so more clients find you before they find a portal.

Where your customers find you

01

Local Services Ads

Pay-per-lead listings at the top of Google, with a Google Verified badge.

02

Google Ads

Search ads for the jobs you want most, paid per click.

03

Map pack

The three businesses Google shows on the map for a local search.

04

AI search

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity.

What's costing you clients

Portals own the search results.

We target the searches they don't own, like "best real estate agent near me" and neighborhood-specific seller searches.

Your Google profile is an afterthought.

A strong profile with steady reviews puts you in the map pack when sellers look for an agent.

You're not showing up in AI answers.

People now ask ChatGPT who the best agent in their area is. We build the content and reviews that get you named.

When demand shows up

Listing season peaks in spring, and sellers start researching agents in winter. We build your visibility early so you're on their shortlist.

Frequently asked questions

Can I compete with Zillow in search?

Not on every search, and you don't need to. We focus on agent-specific and seller searches where an individual agent can rank.

Are Local Services Ads available for real estate agents?

Yes, real estate is an LSA category in many markets. We'll confirm eligibility for yours.

How do I get more seller leads?

Target home valuation and listing searches, and keep your Google profile and reviews strong. Sellers check reviews before they call.
