Category: Carrot News

We just launched a NEW feature into Carrot called Instant Address that solves a problem many investors have. Incomplete house addresses. This can be frustrating.

Sometimes a motivated house seller lead gives you their address but it’s not quite what you need to look up the property details.

It turns out there is a simple solution for this. We noticed that not all real estate leads give the most accurate information when requesting a quote for their property. For example, a lead might say they want a quote on their address at 637 Alderwood St., but without the city and state, it can be difficult to know exactly which house is theirs.

We decided it was about time we fixed that, and today we want to show you exactly how we did that, with data to back it up.

Data To The Rescue

We were curious how often incomplete property address information was happening to our members. So, we took a random sample of 500 lead addresses and dumped them into an excel spreadsheet.

We then went through and found how many addresses were given without a properly formatted address.

Surprisingly, 50% of these entries had less than optimal address formatting!

Note: This is not to say that 50% of these addresses were bad or unusable, not in the slightest. Rather they might only require a little more digging to understand them. Also, if a lead was qualified, they probably filled out more info on the step-2. But needless to say, we knew we could make this process better.

How To Get Complete Addresses From Your Leads, The Easy Way

There is no use reinventing the wheel on this one.

You will notice when you go to sites like Zillow or any other major lead generation site, they have that nifty address autocomplete feature. You know the one, you start typing your address and some behind the scenes magic happens. Your address, without you typing in more than a few letters or numbers begins to appear.

We knew this would help both leads and InvestorCarrot members. So… we built it into all Carrot websites.

It is in your account right now. All you need to do is turn it on.

Here is what the feature looks like:

Carrot “Instant Address” On Your Forms…

But we wanted to make sure that this didn’t hurt conversion rates or ruin lead data getting into your account.

We hooked up with a few of our members who were willing to let us test this on their websites.

Here are the aggregate test results.

Uhh, Can You Explain The Increase In Conversion Rates Please?

I know what you are thinking… how did this help conversion rates? Let me just say this, we weren’t testing if this HELPED conversion rates, rather we wanted to make sure it didn’t HURT conversion rates.

The fact that the conversion rate went up may or may not be directly correlated with this test. We would need to do more testing and get a bigger sample before making that claim.

But suffice it to say, that inserting this feature does streamline the process for your house sellers especially on mobile devices… which would likely also improve the performance of your pages + get you more complete addresses in your lead database.

In fact, it likely improves the chances because it’s just too darn easy now.

Think About It

This feature is pretty common these days. Leads are accustomed to seeing it all sorts of different websites.

Autocomplete is especially helpful for those on mobile because, with a few finger taps, they can insert their address.

So What’s The Point Of All This And What Should I Do With This Data?

I am glad you asked.

The ENTIRE point of this is that the feature does the following for you:

1. Ensures you are getting good property address data
2. Doesn’t deter a lead from giving you their address (it actually makes it easier for them to give it to you)
3. It looks great and works like many other lead generation sites
4. It will still pass data to the step-2 form when configured properly

Time To Jump Into The Weeds

If you are thinking, I would love to turn this on my Carrot forms, AWESOME. Let’s get you hooked up.

If you’re already a Carrot member, here is our “How to Add Autocomplete Address Capability to Your Forms” tutorial. It walks you step-by-step through the simple process. Here are the basics:

Using A CRM? Here Is What You Need To Know

Let’s say you use ZoHo or Podio (or one of the other popular CRMs). The biggest thing you need to consider, when setting up this new feature, is how the property form field data is being passed to your CRM.

This means you might have to reconfigure the form field to now point to the correct place in your CRM account.

Before we made the change you were mapping a text field to your ZoHo or Podio account. Now you are mapping a different form field. So login to your CRM and test that the data is getting in there correctly.

Wrapping It All Up

Does this feature rock? You bet it does.

Does it make life easier for your leads and you? You know it.

Our data suggests that this feature can’t hurt your conversion rate.

Does it take a little reconfiguring and set up? Yup, but with anything in life, if it’s too easy it’s not worth it.

I hope the 5 minutes of work it takes to configure this feature doesn’t deter you from setting it up.

The benefits far out weight the 5 minutes of setup time.

Again, just follow the instructions outlined above and if you struggle getting things to work, just reach out to our awesome support team and we will get you fixed right up.

Today is a pretty big deal. Why you ask? Because we just rolled out 3 major updates to the InvestorCarrot platform (Carrot V2) that are going to make your life easier, more effective, and be an amazing platform to house our future inbound marketing tools and features.

It’s funny how things work out. For the past 6 months we’ve been working on some big projects here at Carrot and several of them just happened to wrap up around the same time. So we decided to do one big release (after a bunch of testing) this morning of those 3 major updates.

More under the radar, we’ve also released dozens of other smaller updates this year and have other big updates rolling out over the next several weeks (like Land Buying / Selling websites, and more).

But let’s dive in to what’s new in your InvestorCarrot account as of today!

NEW: The Carrot Dashboard: The Foundation For The Future

Our vision here at Carrot is to build the single most effective and simple to use tool for high achieving real estate investors (and soon to be agents as well) to attract more high quality prospects online and convert more of them into profitable leads.  With tens of thousands of leads per month being pulled in through our platform by our members every month already, we’re proud as heck of what our members like you have helped us build over the past 2.5 years.

But, to make room for the amazing features and tools we have planned for the rest of 2016 and into 2017, we decided to redesign your user dashboard from the ground up.

Take it for a spin and let us know how you like it.

The biggest changes you’ll see are… 

• More simplified dashboard showing your websites in a more compact space
• We’ve brought many of the settings for your websites out of the confusing WordPress interface and into a simple and intuitive custom dashboard. Want to add tracking codes to your site? Attach a domain? Great, it’s just 2 clicks away now :-)
• More robust website stats! (more on that below)
• Better organized way to display the different types of websites you can setup in your account
• It looks clean and crisp. Can’t beat that!

You’ll notice more changes too but you’ll have to dig into your new dashboard to discover everything :-)

NEW: Know Your Numbers With Carrot Site Stats

Having quick access to your basic website stats is important to knowing what’s working and what isn’t. So we decided to bring more useful data and fancy graphs right into your dashboard for each website.

This will help you save time from having to learn Google Analytics and it’ll deliver you the essential traffic data that you need on a continual basis. You’ll notice more changes to your stats to come as well so be on the lookout!

NEW: Fresh Website Styles Rebuilt From The Ground Up For Desktop And Mobile = Beauty + Performance

At Carrot, all of our website design decisions are based on performance. Will these changes improve the conversion rate and overall ROI for our clients or not?

Over the past year we’ve had countless requests for “new site designs” so you can even better stand out from other’s in your market. After all, you already know that Carrot is the most effective tool for SEO and conversion in the industry (which is why more Carrot websites control more top 5 Google rankings for search phrases that matter than any other REI platform)… but you still want more options to look a bit different.

But because we’re committed to high performance we decided we weren’t going to just roll out some pretty designs and call it a day.

So we embarked on what became a 10 month journey of split testing over 20 designs on over 100 websites to tens of thousands of visitors to find some other “styles” that perform at least as well as our current high performing style you’ve come to recognize and love.

A Screenshot Of Just One Of Our Tests…

And after all of that testing, we found 4 fresh styles that perform up to our standards and give you that design flexibility to look different.

Then we started from scratch and completely rebuilt our entire code base around our websites from the ground up so every part of our websites perform even better on mobile, look more clean, are easier to use, and use our new “Site Customizer” to make editing your appearance settings a breeze.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I know I know, you’ve had a website up with us for a while and you’re chomping at the bit to move over to one of these fresh styles. I would be too. But for now, these fresh styles are available only for new websites launched from today moving forward. We are working on a migration tool to move existing websites over to these fresh site styles for those who want to, but we didn’t want to make you all wait another couple of months to leverage these designs for your NEW sites.

Also, our original site style in use on all existing websites before today is still our highest performing design in aggregate and one we’re not abandoning anytime soon. It’s still a beast. These fresh styles just give some more design options without sacrificing performance because they’re all tested, proven, and built with our Carrot Conversion methodology at the core.

With that said, take a quick peak at our new site styles below. We’ve just used motivated house seller websites for these examples… but these styles can be used on any of our website types on websites launched from today on.

Each style is named after some of our favorite Oregon trees. We love the outdoors and LOVE our home state of Oregon and want to spread some Oregon love.

The Madrone – Clean, Re-Imagined Header, Striking Image

With the Madrone style you’ll really be able to leverage a local image and our eye catching “action bar” at the top of your website. This looks even more amazing on mobile.

---

The Douglas – Our Original Mainstay Design Modernized For The Future

The Douglas Fir is the most popular tree in our county and the mainstay of our local timber industry. So what better name for the most popular and productive site style in use by Carrot members today. We refreshed the design a bit, added new features such as social media icons as an option in the header, our new site customizer, and more.

---

The Cedar – Simple And Striking

The Cedar leverages our same proven conversion elements we’ve honed over the years and wraps them around a new visual. You’ll notice the full height hero image, no black box around the call to action text, and transparent header. This style looks amazing on mobile and retains the high performance we demand.

---

The Juniper – Draws Your Eye Straight To The CTA

If you know anything about Juniper trees is that they suck all of the water out of the ground they are growing in. When we tested this design (we originally called it the “Stacked Hero” internally) we ran the test on 20+ websites all across the country at once… and it consistently sucked more leads out of the web than most everything else we tested. Some markets it converted considerably higher, most it was right on par with our original style, and a couple it was slightly lower. But in aggregate it was our highest performing of the fresh site styles.

So go launch a new website in your Carrot account today and see these fresh site styles in action!

How To Use A New Site Style On A New Website

Just login to your account, launch a new website, then click “Design” in the settings area. Then you can browse the fresh new styles, preview, and activate all in a few seconds.

And as a reminder in case you missed it above, these fresh site styles are currently available for new websites launched from today on forward. Any existing websites we recommend you stay with the original (as it is still our highest performer as far as lead volume goes) until we complete our “Site Migrator” to help those who want a different visual look for their existing sites over to one of the new styles above.

NEW: Simplified Way To Adjust Settings And Branding

One of the biggest pains in the butt when you’re editing the design settings of most websites including Carrot is you couldn’t immediately see how those changes would impact the look of your website without saving them… and going to your actual URL and refreshing your website. Pain right?

Well we’ve solved that with our new robust Website Customizer.

We’ve consolidated many of the most important settings in the Customizer and also added some amazing new features to get you from “idea” to “launch” more quickly with less headache. 

Some of the biggest changes in the customizer are…

• Preview your design changes in real time right in your account
• Build a professional and clean logo in the app if you don’t already have one
• More easily and quickly brand your site (no coding required)
• Adjust your navigation menus and sidebar content right there too!
• … and other new features (go explore and find ’em :-)

Innovating For Your Future

Behind the scenes we’re working our butts off to keep you at the cutting edge as far as inbound marketing goes for your real estate investing business.

Mobile

We continue to focus a ton of energy and resources on innovations on mobile design and performance. Be on the lookout for even more improvements in the coming months to keep you ahead of the mobile curve.

Performance

Performance and ROI are at the heart of why so many people are switching to Carrot and getting better results from Carrot than any other platform they’ve tried (even their custom websites). We’re currently testing tools that we plan on launching as “apps” within your Carrot account to help you squeeze out more gains on your websites… including our “Campaign Tracker” and more robust lead manager that are next on our development timeline.

SEO

The Carrot community holds more top rankings than any other website platform for investors, but we want to build out a full “front to back” inbound online marketing tool to help you identify good keywords to target, track the ranking of those keywords, tracking your competitors, and more.

Support

Often times the “unsexy” part of why our customers succeed is our support structure. Our team here at Carrot, Mastermind calls, and trainings. So we’re investing even more into that team this summer and into new services and trainings that we’ll make available only to Carrot members.

In the end, if you LOVE Carrot now, you’re going to really love it each and every month as our product vision unfolds.

Hit me with your thoughts on some of these features below in the comments section and go out there and crush it with these new features!

“We’re excited to announce the newest addition to our family of tools! These tools help real estate investors simplify not only their job but also what is required of a potential lead. We also addressed the need for land investor by building an engaging land investor website platform.

When we blog and talk about our tools and systems, and the community remind us that staying ahead of the curve is extremely important.

Well, we took a look at the feedback and set out to create additional tools that help real estate investors optimize their efforts. Now, after lots of hard work, we’re ready to roll back the curtain on our latest offering:

New Auto-Complete Address Form Field

Fewer fields = higher conversion rate. This is especially important on mobile devices.  With this idea in mind, we now have a way to get a complete and valid address from visitors using a single field!

Using Google Maps auto-complete suggestions, as visitors start typing in the address field, matching addresses will be suggested based on their location. In our tests, this can save a ton of time and hopefully increase conversion rates over requiring a visitor to manually type in their whole address.

Use this Auto-Complete Address Field Tutorial to tackle the process.

Automatic Image Optimization

Carrot rolled out our new image optimization feature! Now when images are uploaded to Carrot sites, they are:

1 – resized to a maximum of 1920px wide and 1200px tall
2 – given a lossy compression of 85%
3 – run through a lossless compression

This is a big benefit because it takes the manual step we used to put on customers of reducing the image size before uploading, helps make their sites faster, and should reduce support load due to it being a lot harder to fill up their storage space (which we may now bump up by default).

This only applies to new images that are uploaded from now forward, so give it a try and let us know if anything looks wonky.

New Narrow Landing Page Template

Addressing a request, we have added a new landing page template that is a simple, narrow centered form. This form is centered vertically and horizontally, so it plays well with a lot of different full-screen background images.

Our demo example: see the full narrow landing page image here.

Another example with a background image and copy: see the full narrow landing page with background image here.

New Land Investor Websites

Over a couple month period, we researched and tested websites in the land buyer market to create our first version of a good performing rent to own website that you as our InvestorCarrot members can access and setup in your accounts.

Return Access To Bypass Forms

Carrot forms have a feature to let your site visitors bypass a Landing Page, or Page if they have already completed the form. This is useful for requiring an opt-in to see a specific page or other content on your website. Dive into the return access to bypass forms tutorial.

Time To Test Drive

Enough of the talking, now it’s time for you to dive in and see for yourself. With Carrot, we’re providing an exceptional service and always evolving real estate platform. Just head over to our demo and take it for a spin.

If you’re ready to grow, you can always join on a monthly or annual plan.

Wow, 2015 flew by.

It’s amazing how fast the years go by… yet how much you can accomplish in those 12 months when you get clear, get focused on your “big pumpkins” and have a mission that means something to you and your customers a core level.

I thought it would be pretty cool to do a quick review of some of the cool things that both YOU… our Carrot community… and us… Carrot the company were able to accomplish together this year.

All in all, 2015 was a banner year for our Carrot members and an amazing year of growth for our team and company because we focused so much on the one thing that matters… helping YOU get what you want out of life more easily and more effectively with our tools, software, training, and support.

So what happened in 2015?

Let’s dive into some cool stuff in this quick post!

Carrot Members Are Crushing It With Leads!

You guys were a force to be reckoned with in 2015. With over 20,000 leads per month coming in (when you count phone call leads… which we can’t track in Google Analytics currently) you’re pulling in more PPC, SEO, and social media online leads as a collective group than any other real estate investor lead generation platform… by far. Keep crushing it! We’ll help you get there. 

375 “Doses Of Awesomeness” Sent In!

At Carrot, hearing back from our clients is like fuel for us. So much so that we created an internal tool for our team members called the “Thread of Awesomeness” where our team members add the great things that Carrot clients send in to us on a daily basis. Here is a very small snapshot of some of the messages Carrot clients have sent us recently. 

Over 6,600 Live Chats + 17,215 Help Tickets Solved!

You guys were busy! And so were we! Our team helped our Carrot members through the tough spots in 2015 in a big way. We process hundreds of tickets and live chats per week and we’re humbled by the ratings you gave our team during your interactions with us.

We work our butts off so you can spend less time working with our software and more time closing deals. Soon you’ll be introduced to our newest addition to the Carrot Customer Success team in January… keep an eye out! 

We LOVE Chatting With Our Customers. Keep It Coming In 2016!

Never Stop Improving

Another Core Value of ours is “constant never-ending improvement“… and both our customers and us as a company sure did live that one. In addition to the dozens of features we released in 2016 to help our clients spend less time hassling with tech and marketing issues and to pull in more leads… and dozens of split tests we ran on sites to increase the conversion rates of your websites (to much higher than the industry average)… our members relentlessly showed up to our weekly LIVE Coaching Calls, asked us questions, and helped us find the best ways to help you improve. Keep it up in 2016! We have some amazing new features and additions coming your way! 

We Helped Your Conversion Rates Improve Even More In 2015!

There are some really cool innovations coming out in Q1 of 2016 based on our continual conversion rate optimization team. It’s this dedication to performance and ROI that has helped you pull in so many leads in 2016 (especially on mobile devices!)

Now the team is continually growing to stay ahead of the curve so our members can also stay ahead of the curve from their competition. We’re proud to be adding several more full-time team members to the Carrot team in early 2016 as well! Keep an eye out!

All In All, An Amazing Year You’ve Made It Carroteers!

With 2016 a blink away, make sure to use this time to look back on your own 2015. Reflect on the great strides you’ve taken toward your dreams and goals… and reflect on the things you still need to improve on and tackle with focus and intentionality in 2016.

They’ll help you make some important mindset shifts for 2016 and we walk you through how to make 2016 an epic year.

Not An InvestorCarrot Member Yet?

You can get full access to the same Carrot Guide complimentary as a part of your membership when you jump aboard the most effective and fastest growing real estate investing online lead generation platform.

Just take a demo and see our Plans.

We don’t do this very often, but we want to get better at it! This post is just about some of the powerful new features we have launched for Carrot customers over the last month.

Referral & Lead Source Tracking

Have you ever got a lead and wondered how they landed on your site? Was it SEO? Was it a PPC campaign? Did it come from Facebook?  Well now you’ll know where all of your leads came from. 

With our new “Lead Source Tracking” feature you’ll see where every lead came from in an instant.

You have always had access to some of this data if you were a Google Analytics wizard, but now every lead that comes through your site says where the they came from – helping you see how your marketing is going, and how people are finding you online.

Simple Display in Your Lead List

Want to see your lead’s source right there with your other form data? Just click the gear icon, on the Forms >> Entries page… add the column to your active list for that form, and you’re all set!

Full UTM Link Support – ADVANCED FEATURE

If you are not already using UTM style tracking links for your marketing efforts, start now if you’re already generating a good amount of leads and traffic. A lot of email marketing tools like MailChimp have this built in, and anywhere else you put up a link to your site, you can build your own links that show you how your visitors are getting to your site, and ultimately: how effective each of your marketing methods are.

UTM tracking links are standard for Google Analytics, and now every lead in your carrot account is compatible with these links as well. So if you set up a code that includes even more specific data about the campaign, that will be saved to your lead and you can review that for each entry.

Again, this is an advanced feature, so if you’re just getting started you can ignore this one :-)

Email Notification Support

You can even add the lead source to your notification email to see the source as soon as the lead comes in. Just edit your admin notification email, and choose “{leadsource}” from the dropdown to add it so you can see right there in your email inbox where that lead came from.

---

Page URL in Admin Lead Notifications

This is a question we got a lot – “I have more than one site, and when I get lead notifications, how do I know which site it came from?”

Well, now all admin notifications that include the full entry details also contain a link to the page the form was submitted on… so you’re never guessing which of your websites the lead came from. Easy peasy.

---

Short Codes in Lead Form Titles/Descriptions

This is a simple, but powerful new feature – use your “Company Info” shortcodes right inside of form titles and descriptions. New Carrot sites take advantage of this new feature out of the box from now on to help further customize your website content automatically, and existing customers can add those shortcodes into any of your existing forms as needed!

---

Company Info in Lead Form Notification Emails

Another simple new feature that makes your email notifications to new leads more personalized and credible right out of the box (on new sites). Have Carrot sites created already? Just edit up your form notifications and check out the new “Company Info” options when add in merge codes.

---

Get Response Integration

Here’s another often-requested integration checked off the list! Now send your new leads directly into your marketing funnel with our native GetResponse.com integration for your forms. GetResponse is an email marketing software that a lot of investors use, so now you can integrate your Carrot forms directly with your GetResponse lists!

Be On The Lookout For Some Amazing Updates In August!

I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag right now but we have some big updates we’re working on for August that’ll help make your life easier in many ways. You’ll have a clearer plan of action to see success with your online marketing, you’ll see some visual updates on the way your Carrot sites look,  and much much more!

Let us know in the comments box below what features you’d love to see on InvestorCarrot!

With a new month comes a new investment in the success of our InvestorCarrot members!

Way back when we first started InvestorCarrot a couple years back we created our Core Values… and have been dedicated to growing our company by these values, living our lives by these values, and attracting like-minded customers and Carrot team members with these values.

It’s been a huge part of our growth and the success our members have seen over the past year (you guys are pulling in over 13k opt in leads per month!).

With that said, we have two new additions to the support and help we’re adding starting today, April 1st, to help you succeed even more as an InvestorCarrot member! And nope, this isn’t an April fools prank like we pulled last year ;-)

Welcome Our New Customer Success Hero: Adrian!

This has been in the works for quite a while and we’re ecstatic that we were able to make it work to help Adrian reach his long-term goals, work even more within his passions, and add a new element to our already awesome Customer Success program here at InvestorCarrot. Adrian was one of our first customers, is one of our most active, and we’re crazy proud to bring him onto the InvestorCarrot team.

Starting today Adrian Nez, a long-time customer and active wholesaler in multiple markets, will be a full fledged part of the InvestorCarrot team.

His focus will be helping our members with his “what’s working now” approach to getting your own inbound online marketing efforts ramped up and your real estate investing websites performing even better.

Over the coming weeks you’ll see Adrian…

• Diving in to help our support staff (so you may even talk to him on live chat from time to time!)
• Helping us get new trainings out faster so you can implement at the cutting edge of “whats working now”
• Taking over some of the weekly LIVE Carrot Coaching Calls with me
• And overall helping us improve our platform, it’s effectiveness, and inbound marketing innovation in 2015 and beyond

A Bit About Adrian And What He’ll Add To The InvestorCarrot Experience

Adrian has been an active wholesaler in several states and has really taken our “Inbound Online Marketing” platform and training and put it to the test over the last 2 years.

He’s our go to guy on Youtube video optimization… he runs the SEO campaigns for some of our largest clients (investors who have collectively done well over 4,000 deals)… and he’s been a consistent advocate for InvestorCarrot based off of his own results leveraging our platform.

So he’ll bring that same experience to you to help you get the most out of it.

Oh, and Adrian is still an active paying member of InvestorCarrot using it everyday for his own business.

It’s really cool seeing how things come full circle.

Adrian has always been that customer who has a crazy positive attitude, implements the heck out of what we teach, and really cares about helping people succeed. He’s the guy behind several of our most successful Carrot members already… and we’re excited to bring that energy and positivity to the InvestorCarrot crew!

So welcome Adrian in as our new Customer Success Hero! 

He’ll be on our Getting Started Call for new InvestorCarrot members tomorrow with me and will start to take over 1 Coaching Call per month… so reach out to Adrian and say hey!

NEW Expanded Live Chat Hours!

As one of (if not the first) online marketing company for real estate investors to offer LIVE Chat Monday – Friday, it’s been amazing connecting with our customers and soon to be customers through that little orange tab in the lower right of our website.

But, we’ve heard feedback from members on the East Coast that it would be nice to have access to LIVE chat a bit earlier.

In the past our LIVE chat hours have been 10am Pacific – 5pm Pacific (1pm Eastern – 8pm Eastern).

Starting Friday this week the LIVE chat hours will be expanded each day by 3 hours in the morning… starting at 7am Pacific (10am Eastern)! 

So be sure to connect with us and say “hey” if you haven’t been able to connect with our live chat on the east coast because of timing.

We’re here for ya and these additions are the first of many ways we’re investing into you, our customers to help you succeed.

Hit me with any other ideas or feedback you have on ways we can help you succeed and crush it with InvestorCarrot even more.

2015 is going to be a big year and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store!
