7. “It took me a bit over a month to get any rankings popping up on the first few
pages in Google. But then I started applying the training and I started getting a
couple leads a week. Then within about 5 or 6 months I was ranked on page 1
for several terms in Baltimore. Now I’m ranked #1 or #2 in all of my main
keywords for the Baltimore area and get on average 25-30 seller leads a
month... I’ve closed 3 deals in the past 90 days and 2 set to close this month.
100% from leads from my Carrot site”.
- Brittany Bolling - Baltimore, Md (Carrot member Since 6/13)
10. What Is SEO?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility
of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid
("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the
search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search
results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users.
(source: Wikipedia)
11. Break It Down In Simple Terms...
By giving Google (and other search engines) what they
want, Google will reward you with higher rankings.
And Google gives you the tools to find out exactly
what you need to do to get the traffic that’ll turn into
customers for you.
It ain’t rocket science here folks :-)
16. I Get This Email A Few
Times A Week...
“I’ve had my site up for a few months and I’m
not getting many leads and not ranking on page
one in Google. How can I get there? “
17. Then I say...
“First off, don’t rely on SEO only during the
‘build up phase’... the first few months. Post
ads, videos on youtube, etc. But then, to rank in
a more competitive market (all major cities are
competitive markets, small towns are easy)
you’ll likely need to do a few extra
things to rank high”
23. But, If Brittany, a self-confessed
“non techie” who had a full-time
job, had never done a deal, (and
now is 6 months pregnant) can do it
in Baltimore, you CAN do it too.
26. SEO Friendly URLs
Your URLs should
be simple, easy to
read, and ideally
have your
keywords in them
when possible
27. Site Structure
Should be easy for
Google to spider,
have the correct
code structure, load
fast, be easy to
navigate, and the
proper elements
coded right in.
31. Keywords Used Right?
Your pages should
have a good mix of
your keyword
phrases, pictures,
and structure so
Google has the info
they need to know
your site is very
relevant.
32. “Google and Bing agree that the ideal configuration is for websites to
have a single set of URLs for all devices and to use responsive Web
design to present them accordingly”
33. We Make It Easier...
Site Structure
SEO Friendly URLs
Meta Information
Content Relevance
Keywords Used Right?
Mobile Elements
Domain Elements
40. How People Mess Up...
- Change their title tag to something like this:
“ ABC Properties “
- Make it too broad:
“ Discount Homes - ABC Properties “
- Don’t target on “action” phrases:
“ sell my house “
(rather than “sell my house fast in Baltimore” )
43. So, lets look at those
keywords and see
why some get leads
and some don’t.
44. Cash Buyer
TIP: Look at the
“Local Monthly Searches
column.
That’s where the gold is.
Add your city name
before or after the
keyword to increase
quality of your traffic
and chances of ranking
well
45. Motivated
Seller
TIP: This reveals how
people are searching
online.
Are you optimizing for
keywords that will
produce any real quality
traffic?
Most investors aren’t.
46. Private Lenders
TIP: Using your
website to
recruit private
money can be
touchy with the
SEC.
So, use your
blog and write a
post on each of
these keywords.
