I wish I would have done it a long time ago. My conversion as compared to before is unbelievable.

All other marketing channels are just tactics; Carrot is the big chunk in the middle that was just missing.
Thousands of real estate professionals use Carrot lead generation websites and real estate CRM to grow their businesses. Here’s why they choose Carrot, in their own words.
Carrot websites consistently generate leads that turn into high-value deals. Here’s what some happy Carrot users have to say about the success they’re finding with a Carrot website.
Closed 10 deals this year from Carrot and the margins are always higher from internet leads.
“I was nervous, but to my surprise, my new Carrot site started to immediately generate motivated seller leads… The migration of my already high SEO ranking site to Carrot was a seamless process. Carrot was sensitive to my existing high ranking long-tale URLs and did a great job making sure the migration kept my already ranking content. I closed my 1st Carrot deal within 45 days of launching the new site.”
“I had a PPC vendor who built a super techy site that they swore would outconvert my Carrot site — it didn’t. I paid $5000 to have a custom site designed that was really pretty, but I got less leads. My expensive, pretty site was converting at 1-2% on SEO when my Carrot site was converting at like 8.5% on SEO.”
Ryan Dossey

“My average profit per deal on Carrot leads is close to $40,000 dollars… Prior to using Carrot I had no online presences and no experience building websites and I had no real world tech experience. Carrot made it really easy for me, it was just plug and play. The combination of organic and paid traffic exploded my site with leads. If I could describe Carrot in one word it would be “consistency.” Carrot has given me the ability to count on my deal flow.”
CarrotCRM (formerly InvestorFuse) is a game-changer for real estate professionals who want a simple, intuitive, powerful CRM for lead and deal management. Here’s the difference it’s made for some current users.
What I felt was relief… CarrotCRM just worked. Before we had CarrotCRM, we were doing workarounds for every single new lead. Over the day, the week, the month — that’s just a waste of time. [After switching from REsimpli], what I felt was relief… It just worked.
CarrotCRM is simple, intuitive and built specifically for how real investor businesses actually operate. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, and the layout makes sense. Everything from new actions, overdue tasks, and opportunities through to transactions flows naturally. The automated lead routing and instant assignment features are a game-changer for speed and accountability. CarrotCRM keeps evolving with real updates that improve workflow. It’s rare to see a tech company that cares this much about user success.
We have hundreds of leads coming in every single week. … Thanks to CarrotCRM, I can see the hottest leads we have. I wouldn’t have identified some of these leads if we didn’t have AI lead scoring.
Kyler Peters
Want to Sell Now
We more than 5x’d the number of calls we’re making. But what’s crazy is that despite the increased calls, we’ve actually saved a lot of time. Our lead managers are putting out 300 calls a day in the same amount of time it used to take to make 60 calls a day.
I’ve used a bunch of CRMs, I’ve used Salesforce, I’ve used HighLevel and they can get complex. I like the simplicity of CarrotCRM. A lead comes in, you see it, it’s at the top, you see the status, you can tag it, you can do whatever you want. The simplicity of the system actually helps us a lot and enables us to just do what we need to do with a lead. That’s the best part. What I love about CarrotCRM is it’s simplicity when compared to other CRMs.
One of the things that sets Carrot apart is outstanding customer support and a culture that truly cares about your success and well-being. We’re not a faceless software provider; we’re your partner.
Huge Carrot fan and big supporter of the excellent customer experience y’all provide. My partner and I started with FlipPilot and the difference is night and day. The amount of value you guys provide through the podcast, online tutorials, and insanely responsive/professional/knowledgeable customer service is unparalleled. Keep up the incredible work.
Why People Love Carrot’s Lead Generation Tools & Training
Carrot doesn’t leave you alone to figure out everything on your own. We provide the tools and training you need to rank well, generate motivated leads, and gain confidence in your business.
I absolutely love Carrot. It’s very user-friendly. I love the amount of information Carrot provides. They’re always up-to-date and ahead in sharing information in relation to wholesaling real estate, what’s going on in the marketplace, trying to be ahead of the game. I appreciate all of those things that you don’t necessarily get with other providers, like Wix or other sites that are not tailored specifically for investors. I appreciate the niche, I think it’s really valuable.
We’re still the same great company you’ve heard so much about, we just simplified our name!
When Carrot started in 2014, our aim was to help real estate investors (and now agents) not just get online… but get better performance online. One lost deal from an underperforming website can cost you $10k, $20k, $50k or more. Over the years we’ve dedicated millions of dollars and tens of thousands of hours to being the primary innovator and leader of high-performing online lead generation websites. If you are searching for Investor Carrot reviews, Agent Carrot Reviews, On Carrot reviews, or something else and still don’t see what you need to make a confident decision, setup a call with one of our Product Specialists and we’ll walk you through how we help more top investors attract more inbound real estate leads than any other system in real estate (or check out how we stack up against Carrot alternatives).

This Challenge Was Built for Real Estate Pros Who Are Ready to Finally Stand Out — Everywhere Sellers Search
If you’re tired of chasing leads, fighting algorithms, or wondering why your site isn’t showing up like it used to… this 3-Day Challenge is your chance to flip the script and start getting found — automatically.
You’re a Real Estate Investor or Agent who’s serious about showing up where motivated sellers are actually searching — not just where gurus say they are.
You’re Done Relying on Ads Alone. You want predictable, inbound traffic that compounds month after month instead of burning budget week after week.
You’ve Got a Website (or You’re About to) and you’re ready to make sure it’s built the right way for AI-driven search — not the outdated SEO strategies that are fading fast.
You’re Willing to Execute. You don’t need fluff — you want a tactical, 3-day roadmap that gives you real results you can measure.
You Want to Future-Proof Your Marketing. You see where search is headed (ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, etc.) and you’re not waiting for your competitors to figure it out first.
You Believe in Playing the Long Game. You want a system that builds trust, authority, and visibility — even while you sleep.
If That Sounds Like You — Don’t Sit This One Out.
Join the 3-Day AI Search Challenge and learn how to position yourself as the trusted local expert AI recommends — before everyone else catches on.
You’re a real estate investor or agent who wants sellers finding you first—on Google, ChatGPT, and everywhere they ask for help.
You’re tired of paying for every click and want a compounding, inbound lead channel you actually own.
You’ve got a website (or plan to) and suspect it’s not built for AI-driven search—you want the new playbook, not 2015 SEO.
You want a step-by-step, do-it-with-you plan—concise training + prompts + checklists you can implement in minutes, not months.
You value no-fluff, results-first guidance and you’re willing to execute 30 minutes a week to build momentum.
You want to future-proof your marketing as AI overviews roll out—so you’re 12–18 months ahead of competitors.
You prefer systems over guesswork: clear actions, measurable outcomes, and templates you can reuse.
If you’re nodding along, we built this challenge specifically for you. It’s practical, tactical, and designed to get you found fast!
this challenge isn’t for everyone though…
Who This Challenge is Not For
Anyone looking for instant, no work push a few buttons and do nothing strategy. This is a real, repeatable system that requires implementation.
Marketers who want to keep using outdated backlink tricks and expect long-term results.
Folks who won’t take action—information without execution won’t change your pipeline.
Those seeking advanced/edge-case SEO theory. This challenge focuses on the foundational AI-era moves that drive 80% of results.
Ready to Be the Business AI Recommends and Not the One It Skips?

From a Handful of Investor Websites to 8,000+ Members: How What We’re Doing Is Leading the Charge Into AI Search
From the Desk of Trevor Mauch, CEO of Carrot.com
Dear Real Estate Investor,
If you’ve been feeling the shift — traffic changing, leads slowing down, marketing getting more expensive — you’re not imagining it.
Search is evolving faster than any of us have ever seen. And the truth is… the way motivated sellers find investors online is changing forever.
For over a decade, Carrot has helped thousands of real estate investors and agents generate millions of leads through SEO and inbound marketing. Our members have dominated Google and built businesses that consistently attract motivated sellers month after month.
But now, something bigger is happening.
AI search is here. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are starting to decide for users who they recommend — who they trust — who they display first.
And here’s what we’ve learned after studying it closely for the past year:
The investors who adapt to AI search now will be 12–18 months ahead of everyone else still doing SEO the old way.
That’s why we built this 3-Day AI Search Challenge.
It’s not theory. It’s not hype. It’s the same tactical steps our top Carrot members are using right now to win visibility inside AI-powered search results.
In three days, we’ll walk you through the small but powerful shifts you can make to:
Get your site seen and trusted by AI search engines
Show up when sellers use Google AI, ChatGPT, or voice assistants
Build authority that compounds — even while you sleep
My goal is simple: to help you get ahead of the curve before this next era of SEO becomes crowded and expensive.
If you’ve trusted Carrot to power your online presence, you already know our track record — we don’t chase shiny objects. We teach what works, we measure what matters, and we care deeply about your success.
So whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, I’d love for you to join me in this challenge. You’ll come away with a clear roadmap — not just for more leads, but for lasting authority in the AI era.
See you inside,
Trevor Mauch, Co-Founder & CEO
I absolutely love Carrot. It’s very user friendly. I love the amount of information Carrot provides. They’re always up-to-date and ahead in sharing information in relation to wholesaling real estate, what’s going on in the marketplace, trying to be ahead of the game. I appreciate all of those things that you don’t necessarily get with other providers, like Wix or other sites that are not tailored specifically for investors. I appreciate the niche, I think it’s really valuable.

Ready to Get Ahead of the AI Search Wave?
Carrot has always been about helping investors show up, stand out, and grow sustainably. Join the 3-Day AI Search Challenge and be part of the next evolution in how real estate investors attract motivated sellers.
The Problem: Most investors build their websites for old SEO rules and wonder why ChatGPT or Google AI never recommend them.
What You’ll Learn: The six key on-page signals AI search engines look for, why structure and trust cues now outweigh backlinks, and how to make your site “AI-friendly” in under an hour.
The Solution: By the end of Day 1, your homepage and core pages will be optimized so AI tools recognize your brand as a trusted local authority.
“I implemented two of these tweaks and my visibility jumped within weeks.” — Sarah W.
The Problem: Backlinks built the old way are dead — most investors waste hours chasing low-quality links that do nothing for visibility.
What You’ll Learn: The three off-page signals AI cares about, how to find “AI-approved” backlink opportunities with simple prompts, and how to use Google Business, Reddit, and niche forums to strengthen authority.
The Solution: By the end of Day 2, you’ll know how to build links and engagement that actually move the needle in AI results — even with zero SEO experience.
“After following this, my site started appearing in AI overviews.” — Jared M.
The Problem: AI search tools don’t just look at your site — they watch how your brand interacts online. Most investors are invisible where AI is listening.
What You’ll Learn: The 30-minute-per-week “social engagement plan” that feeds AI the right brand signals, plus prompt packs to automate 80% of your posting and outreach.
The Solution: By the end of Day 3, you’ll have a repeatable plan for maintaining consistent visibility with simple, scalable actions that compound authority month after month.
“This plan gave me a way to stay visible without spending hours on social.” — Nicole L.
The Problem: Learning the tactics is one thing — putting them into motion is another. Most investors leave with ideas, but not an optimized site or execution plan.
What You’ll Learn: In this private VIP session, you’ll work side-by-side with Carrot’s marketing pros to apply everything from Days 1-3. You’ll see live examples, site teardowns, and get direct feedback on your own content, pages, and AI optimization plan.
The Solution: By the end of Day 4, you’ll have a fully optimized “AI-ready” website framework — plus a repeatable growth system you can use every month to stay visible, rank faster, and convert more motivated seller leads.
“Getting live feedback from the Carrot team made everything click — my SEO and content plan were dialed in within an hour.” — Alex R.

AI search is changing everything about how sellers find investors online. In this 3-Day Challenge, you’ll learn the exact steps Carrot members are using to stay visible, trusted, and ahead of the competition.

What if I don’t have a website yet?
No worries! You’ll still get massive value. We’ll show you how to structure your future site correctly before you ever hit publish — so you can launch 18 months ahead of your competition.
I’m already doing SEO. Why should I join?
Traditional SEO is changing fast. AI-driven search is rewriting the rules, and what worked a year ago won’t keep you ranking next year. This challenge shows you how to adapt — so you stay visible in Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT recommendations, and beyond.
Will this work if I’m in a small market or a competitive metro?
Yes. We’ll show you how AI search levels the playing field so you can compete anywhere — even against big-budget competitors. Local authority, brand engagement, and trust signals matter more than sheer ad spend.
Do I need to know SEO or AI tools already?
Not at all. This challenge is beginner-friendly and built for Carrot members (and non-members) who want a clear roadmap. We’ll walk you through everything — from optimizing your site to using ChatGPT prompts — step by step.
Do I need to be technical to do this?
Nope. This challenge is for busy investors and agents, not coders. We’ll show you how to use simple tools, copy-and-paste prompts, and repeatable systems you or your team can run in minutes.
How much time does this take?
Each day’s session runs about 60–90 minutes, and the daily action steps take roughly 30 minutes to implement. We designed this so you can easily fit it into your week — even with deals, calls, and family time on your plate.
What happens after the 3-Day Challenge ends?
You’ll walk away with:
An AI-optimized website framework
A clear off-page plan to earn trust and visibility
ChatGPT workflows that save hours every week
You’ll also have the option to continue working with Carrot through our advanced SEO or AI content systems — but only if it’s the right fit for your goals.
You’re One Shift Away From Becoming the Trusted Name Sellers See First.
AI search isn’t coming, it’s here. The question is whether it’ll work for you or against you. Spend 3 days with us and learn how to turn this change into your competitive advantage before it’s too late!

Right now, with Carrot, it’s safe to say we’re averaging about 4 deals a month and our average deal is about $25,000 bucks. I never got anything from my old custom websites… You go where people are getting results. I saw people in competitive markets using Carrot, so I knew it was the platform I needed. I couldn’t survive without the SEO package.

Carrot has become the foundation to my business. If you want to rank and you want to convert leads from motivated sellers then you need Carrot because you won’t even compete without them.
SEO has a reputation for being hard to DIY. You’ve got checklists, keywords, content to write, and rankings to track — it can feel like a lot.
The good news is, you don’t need to master everything to see results!
A few focused actions can dramatically improve your rankings and help you attract more motivated seller leads. A great example is Mark St. Peter’s story, who did his own SEO and ranked #3 in competitive Arizona markets within just 6 months, generating leads daily.
Don’t dump all keywords into one page. Match them to the right page type (landing page, guide, blog, FAQ).
When writing, add local proof: foreclosure stats, median prices, seller stories, neighborhood details.
Check your site with Carrot’s Site Audit Tool to fix quick wins like duplicate content, missing meta tags, or broken links.
Create city- or county-specific pages with local keywords in the URL (e.g. /sell-my-house-fast-roseburg).
Add alt text to images that describes the property or city (e.g. “3-bedroom house in Eugene ready for cash sale”).
Drop in internal links with keyword-rich anchor text (“sell your house fast in Portland”) instead of generic “learn more.”
Real quick before we dive in – why does SEO even matter?!
Because a tired landlord doesn’t flip through a phone book. Someone facing foreclosure isn’t waiting for postcards. Motivated sellers open their phone and type in exactly what’s on their mind: “stop foreclosure timeline in Oregon” or “sell my house fast in Roseburg.” Every one of those searches is a lead raising their hand.
Carrot websites are already built with SEO in mind, giving you a strong foundation out of the box. But if you want to maximize visibility in your market, the tips we’ll cover here will help you go from “just having a site” to actually generating consistent, high-quality leads from search.
1. Start with Keyword Research
Keyword research is really just trying to find the exact phrases motivated sellers, buyers, or landlords type when they’re hunting for help (“sell my house fast in Roseburg,” “probate house sale timeline,” “cash offer vs listing fees”). If you publish pages that match those real phrases (and actually answer the intent behind them), Google can put you in front of the right people.
If this is brand new to you, we walk through the process in the Real Estate SEO Bible, where you’ll see examples of the most profitable real estate keywords and how to apply them on your site.
Brainstorm your seed keywords.
Start with obvious ones like “sell my house fast,” “cash home buyers,” or “buy houses in .” or you can list 5–10 problems you solve: behind on payments, inherited a house, probate, code violations, divorce, tired landlord, need cash fast, “sell as-is,” These are your starting points.
You can also put in a competitor’s domain in Carrot’s Keyword Explorer to see what they’re ranking for.
Find related keywords
This is where things get easier. Carrot automatically shows you related keyword ideas, their monthly search volume, and how tough (Difficulty level) it’ll be to rank for them. The low-to-mid difficulty, high-intent phrases are the sweet spot for solo operators.
Choose your list of keywords to write on
Don’t try to create content on every topic, even if it’s easy to do that with AI tools now. Here’s a simple sniff test that helps you pick winners:
• Relevance: Would a person searching for this hire you if they liked what they read?
• Difficulty: Are the current results beatable with a stronger, more local, more useful page?
• Demand: Enough people search this to be worth an afternoon of writing—even if it’s dozens per month, not thousands.
Once you have that,
Decide what to do with them
Once you’ve gathered a list of keywords, the next step is deciding what to do with them. A common mistake is treating every keyword the same — cranking out the same type of blog posts for everything, or trying to stuff them all onto your homepage. That’s not how Google works, and it’s not how motivated sellers search.
Instead, match each keyword to the right kind of page.
Some keywords signal that someone is ready to act right now (“sell my house fast Roseburg”) — those belong on high-converting landing pages. Others show that the person is still researching (“stop foreclosure Oregon timeline”) — those are perfect for detailed guides or blog posts where you educate first, then invite them to reach out.

Once you’ve created a handful of articles, add them to Carrot’s Keyword Rank Tracker so you can watch positions move as you publish. That feedback loop teaches you fast: which angles stick, which need more depth, and where an internal link or two will nudge you onto page one.
2. Publish Original, Information-Rich Content
Generic content is dying. With Google’s AI Overviews, searchers can get surface-level answers to broad queries without ever clicking a website. For example, a quick search for “average sale prices of houses in Texas” now produces an AI summary showing the median price ($335,494). That’s fast, neat, and complete enough that most people won’t bother scrolling further.
What wins clicks (and trust) is specific, original information people can’t get anywhere else: local numbers, real timelines, first-hand process details, and outcomes from deals you’ve actually closed
For example, instead of writing: “Foreclosure rates are high in our area.”
You can back up with details, data, or real-life examples. That’s what makes your post worth reading, linking to, and trusting: “According to Douglas County court filings, foreclosure starts rose 14% in the past year. That’s one of the highest jumps in Oregon, which means more families here are scrambling to find fast solutions.”
The first is just a claim. The second proves you know your market.
Tips to create good content
Here are a few practical ways investors can create content that gets read:
Use local data. Add stats on median home prices, average days on market, foreclosure rates, or rental vacancy rates in your city or county. Even citing a recent Zillow or MLS report with your commentary makes the piece more valuable.
Explain the “why” behind seller pain points. Don’t just say, “Selling through an agent takes too long.” Spell it out: the average listing in [your city] takes 63 days to close, plus repairs and showings can add weeks more.
Show real stories. Share anonymized examples of sellers you’ve helped (“A retired couple in Springfield avoided foreclosure when we closed in 14 days”). These details connect emotionally and prove you’ve done it before.
Offer your perspective. Add your take on what these numbers or situations mean for homeowners. For example: “Yes, prices are dropping, but that can actually make cash offers more attractive because buyers with financing are pulling back.”
Writing that kind of content from scratch every week takes hours you probably don’t have.
That’s where Carrot’s Automated Content Library comes in. Instead of starting with a blank page, you can pull from a collection of expertly written, real estate–focused blogs that are already 90% ready to publish.
All you have to do is add your personality, your market insights, or a quick local stat. And you’ll get content that stands out from the generic fluff AI is summarizing.
3. Nail the Basics of Technical SEO
Technical SEO sounds complicated, but it’s just about making sure your website is built in a way that search engines (like Google) can easily find, understand, and show it to people.
Some key parts of technical SEO are:
Crawlable: Google’s robots should be able to move around your site and visit all your pages without getting blocked.
Indexable: Once robots read the pages, Google should be able to save them in its “library” so they can show up in search results.
Speed: Your site should load quickly, because slow sites make visitors (and Google) unhappy.
Mobile-friendly: Your site should look and work properly on phones and tablets, not just computers.
Clean URLs: Website links should be short and easy to read (like /about-us instead of /page?id=123).
Security (HTTPS): It’s when your website shows a padlock 🔒 in the browser, meaning the connection is safe and private.
You don’t have to become a tech expert to get it right. Most investors just want their sites to rank and bring in motivated sellers, not spend hours digging through settings or trying to decode SEO jargon. That’s exactly where Carrot helps.
With the Carrot Site Audit Tool, you can see what’s holding your site back from ranking in search engines. It checks for common issues like broken links, duplicate content, missing alt text, or low word count, and it explains what each issue means in plain English.
Every audit comes with step-by-step guidance on how to resolve issues, plus Carrot Support if you get stuck. It’s the same level of insight SEO agencies charge thousands for—without the high price tag.
4. Build Location-Targeted Pages
When I searched for “sell my house fast in Queens,” I found one site with a generic landing page that says “Sell Your House Fast For Cash Today” but doesn’t mention any specific city.
Here’s another site with a Queens-specific page, headline, and all: “Need To Sell Your House Fast In Queens, NY?”
Which one do you think Google and sellers trust more?
The answer is obvious.
A local page that actually says “Queens” (or Brooklyn, or Roseburg, or wherever you invest) is more likely to rank for that search and more likely to convert the person who lands there. Because Google matches searchers with the page that seems most specific to their intent.
That’s why, instead of one statewide page, build individual pages for each city or county you invest in.
A strong location page isn’t just a block of text with the city swapped out.
URL of the page matters
One of the most important elements is the URL itself. Adding local keywords to your URLs is a direct ranking factor. Instead of using something generic like /services/oregon, create URLs such as:
/sell-my-house-roseburg
/we-buy-houses-eugene
This signals to Google exactly what the page is about and ties it directly to local keywords sellers are typing in. Pair that with a strong title tag like “Sell Your House Fast in Roseburg | Trusted Local Buyers” and you’ve got a page built to rank.
From there, make the page feel genuinely local.
Tips to create location-targeted pages
Add local details such as photos of houses in that area, maps of your service region, or even a testimonial from a seller in that market. These cues reassure people that you’re not some out-of-town buyer.
For example, the page I found earlier (a Carrot site ranking #1 for “sell my house fast queens) has a local proof—a testimonial video from a New York homeowner who sold to that company.
That’s exactly the type of content Google wants to see!
Phrases like “We can meet you anywhere in Eugene within 24 hours” or “We close deals in Medford faster than the typical market average” show you’re truly active on the ground.
If you sponsor local events, volunteer, or are part of a chamber of commerce, mention it. Sellers want to work with locals, not faceless companies.
And if you’d rather have the heavy lifting done for you, Carrot’sInvestor Concierge Setup Service is built for exactly that. Our team rewrites your content, personalizes your branding, and localizes your site with credibility signals and SEO tweaks that help you show up (and convert) faster. Instead of wrestling with endless checklists, you’ll have a high-performing site up and running in about 30 days, along with a clear strategy for what to do next.
5. Fix Your Image Alt Text
Alt text (short for alternative text) is a short description you add to each image on your site. It helps Google understand what the image is about and how it relates to the page. Even if sellers don’t always search in “Images,” Google still considers those signals when ranking your page in regular search. It’s the simplest way to get optimized for on-page SEO.
For example, instead of leaving the alt text blank or using the default name of the image (img_123.png) you can write “3-bedroom property in Phoenix” or “sell my house fast Tucson cash offer.”
How to write a good alt text for your image
Here are some simple ways to write an alt text that helps you rank in search engines:
Be specific: describe what’s actually in the photo, e.g., “2-story rental home in Dallas with brick exterior.”
Keep it short: A few words or a short phrase is usually enough.
Skip “image of” or “picture of”: Screen readers or search engines already know it’s an image.
Leave decorative images blank: If the image doesn’t add value (like a divider or background), use an empty alt tag instead.
Website builders, like Carrot, make it easy to add or edit alt text without touching code. Just upload your image, look for the “Alt Text” field, and type in your description.
Start with your motivated seller page, your cash buyer page, and any blog posts that already bring traffic. Those are the ones most likely to bring in leads.
6. Use Internal Links the Right Way
Internal links are simply links that connect one page of your website to another. They help visitors move around your site, but they’re also important for search engines.
Google uses them to pass PageRank (authority) from one page to another. If you link often to your motivated seller page, you’re telling Google it’s one of the most important pages on your site. That way it can show that page to visitors for relevant search queries.
In the Hubspot study illustrated below, they showed an average higher ranking in search engines based on the number of internal links in their content.
But the one mistake people often make is not choosing the right anchor text for their internal links.
Anchor text is the clickable part of a link, and it gives Google context about the page you’re sending people to.
Here’s a quick comparison:
❌ Bad: Learn More
✅ Good: Sell your house fast in Portland
The first tells you nothing. The second clearly signals what the page is about and includes a local keyword.
When you’re writing a blog post or adding content, look for natural places to link back to those pages with descriptive anchor text.
For example, if you’re writing an article about foreclosure timelines, you could add a link that says “options to sell your house in foreclosure in Dallas” and point it to your Dallas foreclosure page.
Another key is balance.
You don’t want to cram five links into every paragraph. Instead, place links where they make sense for the reader. One or two strong, descriptive links per section of content is enough.
Wrapping It Up
You don’t need a huge team or endless hours to see results from SEO. By focusing on the basics:
Optimizing images with alt text
Building smart internal links
Tightening up your technical SEO
Publishing location-focused pages, and
Creating original content
…you can steadily move the needle.
These steps compound over time, and even solo investors can build a site that ranks, attracts motivated sellers, and generates consistent leads.
1. Do I really need SEO if I already get leads from postcards, cold calling, or referrals?
Yes. Offline marketing still works, but SEO captures the sellers who are actively searching for solutions online right now. When someone types “sell my house fast in [your city],” they’re raising their hand and looking for exactly what you offer. That’s why SEO is such a powerful and consistent lead source.
2. How long does it take to see results from real estate SEO?
SEO isn’t instant like paid ads—it typically takes 3–6 months to see measurable movement in rankings. However, because real estate searches are highly local, you can sometimes rank faster with well-optimized city or county landing pages. The key is consistency: publish relevant content, optimize your site, and track your progress.
3. What’s the difference between keywords for landing pages and blog posts?
Great question. Transactional keywords (like “sell my house fast ”) should go on high-converting landing pages, because the searcher is ready to act. Informational keywords (like “foreclosure timeline in Oregon”) work better as blog posts or guides, where you educate first, then invite them to reach out. Matching keyword intent to the right page type is one of the biggest SEO wins.
4. Can I do real estate SEO myself, or do I need to hire an agency?
You absolutely can do it yourself. With tools like Carrot’s Keyword Explorer, Rank Tracker, and Site Audit, most investors can cover the basics without hiring an expensive agency. If you can spare a few hours each month to optimize pages, write local content, and build links between your posts, you’ll see results without the overhead.
5. How do I know which keywords are worth targeting?
Start with a simple framework:
Relevance – Would someone searching this phrase likely hire you?
Difficulty – Can you realistically outrank the current top results with a better, more local page?
Demand – Even if it’s just dozens of searches per month, is it worth your time? Using this sniff test helps you prioritize keywords that drive leads instead of wasting time chasing high-volume terms that don’t convert.

From a Handful of Investor Websites to 8,000+ Members: How What We're Doing Is Leading the Charge Into AI Search
From the Desk of Trevor Mauch, CEO of Carrot.com
Dear Real Estate Investor,
If you’ve been feeling the shift — traffic changing, leads slowing down, marketing getting more expensive — you’re not imagining it.
Search is evolving faster than any of us have ever seen. And the truth is… the way motivated sellers find investors online is changing forever.
For over a decade, Carrot has helped thousands of real estate investors and agents generate millions of leads through SEO and inbound marketing. Our members have dominated Google and built businesses that consistently attract motivated sellers month after month.
But now, something bigger is happening.
AI search is here. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are starting to decide for users who they recommend — who they trust — who they display first.
And here’s what we’ve learned after studying it closely for the past year:
The investors who adapt to AI search now will be 12–18 months ahead of everyone else still doing SEO the old way.
That’s why we built this 3-Day AI Search Challenge.
It’s not theory. It’s not hype. It’s the same tactical steps our top Carrot members are using right now to win visibility inside AI-powered search results.
In three days, we’ll walk you through the small but powerful shifts you can make to:
Get your site seen and trusted by AI search engines
Show up when sellers use Google AI, ChatGPT, or voice assistants
Build authority that compounds — even while you sleep
My goal is simple: to help you get ahead of the curve before this next era of SEO becomes crowded and expensive.
If you’ve trusted Carrot to power your online presence, you already know our track record — we don’t chase shiny objects. We teach what works, we measure what matters, and we care deeply about your success.
So whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, I’d love for you to join me in this challenge. You’ll come away with a clear roadmap — not just for more leads, but for lasting authority in the AI era.
Carrot has always been about helping investors show up, stand out, and grow sustainably. Join the 3-Day AI Search Challenge and be part of the next evolution in how real estate investors attract motivated sellers.
The Problem: Most investors build their websites for old SEO rules and wonder why ChatGPT or Google AI never recommend them.
What You’ll Learn: The six key on-page signals AI search engines look for, why structure and trust cues now outweigh backlinks, and how to make your site “AI-friendly” in under an hour.

❓I’m already doing SEO. Why should I join?
Traditional SEO is changing fast. AI-driven search is rewriting the rules, and what worked a year ago won’t keep you ranking next year. This challenge shows you how to adapt — so you stay visible in Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT recommendations, and beyond.
❓How much time does this take?
Each day’s session runs about 60–90 minutes, and the daily action steps take roughly 30 minutes to implement. We designed this so you can easily fit it into your week — even with deals, calls, and family time on your plate.
❓Will this work if I’m in a small market or a competitive metro?
Yes. We’ll show you how AI search levels the playing field so you can compete anywhere — even against big-budget competitors. Local authority, brand engagement, and trust signals matter more than sheer ad spend.
❓What happens after the 3-Day Challenge ends?
You’ll walk away with:
An AI-optimized website framework
A clear off-page plan to earn trust and visibility
ChatGPT workflows that save hours every week
You’ll also have the option to continue working with Carrot through our advanced SEO or AI content systems — but only if it’s the right fit for your goals.
You’re One Shift Away From Becoming the Trusted Name Sellers See First.
AI search isn’t coming, it’s here. The question is whether it’ll work for you or against you. Spend 3 days with us and learn how to turn this change into your competitive advantage before it’s too late!
Because right now, your future deals depend not just on hustling or paying for ads — they depend on whether your website shows up when sellers use AI or “search conversationally”. If your competition is still doing SEO 2015 style, they'll be left in the dust.
We’re officially in the last quarter of 2025 (how did that happen?). And while Q3 included a good chunk of the summer, we didn’t spend the whole time on vacation! Instead, we were busy releasing new features and improving existing ones. Here’s a recap of some of the highlights from Q3 2025.
Key Takeaways
New Carrot website subscriptions now include a mix of website, SEO, and content tools, plus integrations, with every price point.
Carrot offers CarrotCRM AI features and built-in Call Tracking.
Several small features and improvements were released to improve page load speed and overall performance for all Carrot websites.
If you’ve looked at the Carrot pricing page lately, you might have noticed some changes. We’ve simplified our subscriptions so you get more baked-in features with fewer add-ons.
(If you’re a current Carrot member, don’t worry, your subscription is staying exactly the same. But if you want to change to one of the new plans, connect with our Support team using the live chat.)
Our new subscription model follows a traditional “good, better, best” approach, giving you more features as you move up. But we made some critical changes to ensure that you’re successful no matter which Carrot subscription you choose!
A few notable changes include:
Every Carrot subscription now comes with a mix of website, SEO, and content tools — no add-ons required. Key features like on-page SEO recommendations and the unique content scoring tool are included with the Starter subscription, ensuring you’re set up for SEO success from day one.
Integrations are now included! This change was the direct result of feedback from existing members. Carrot isn’t an all-in-one solution and we pride ourselves on letting you integrate your favorite tools. So we’re living by our ethos and including integrations with your subscriptions so you can build your ideal online lead generation hub.
We’re always looking for ways to improve Carrot, and last quarter saw a couple of very exciting feature releases!
CarrotCRM AI
The first set of CarrotCRM AI features technically came out in late June. But in case you missed the announcement in the haze of summer, it’s worth repeating here.
CarrotCRM — a best-in-class CRM for real estate investors, formerly known as InvestorFuse 3.0 — offers a range of AI tools that highlight the most motivated leads, instantly surface critical information, and save investors hours of manual work.
Want to see for yourself? All CarrotCRM users can try AI Lead Scoring and AI Summaries for free on five opportunities!
Call Tracking
Understanding where your leads come from and which source generates the most deals is critical to smart marketing and budgeting. Why spend a lot of money and time on a lead source that never converts?
Dedicated landing pages and forms are good for tracking online leads, but what if a lead calls you, either because they got your phone number from a piece of offline marketing (like direct mail) or because they found your phone number on your website but simply prefer to call than fill out a form? You can ask where they heard about you, but that information isn’t always reliable.
With call tracking, you know without a doubt what piece of marketing drove that call. And now, Carrot members can access call tracking right within their website platform! With just a few clicks, you can get dedicated phone numbers for each of your marketing campaigns, and an insightful dashboard to pinpoint which campaigns are most successful.
Performance Improvements
Carrot’s top priority is making sure you have the best performance possible. But what exactly does performance mean? It means that Carrot websites are intentionally designed to load fast, be secure, show up when and where people are searching, and convert website visitors into leads. Here are some recent updates that ensure top-notch website performance.
LLMs.txt for AI Discoverability
We all know that AI search tools are becoming more popular. And built-in AI search results in Google are impacting the SEO landscape. To help Carrot members adjust to these shifts, we’ve now implemented LLMs.txt files on all Carrot websites.
These files follow best practices for LLMs (large language models, the power behind AI tools) and include information such as site info, pages, and posts in a format that is easy for AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini (Google’s AI search feature) to understand. The goal is to give the content on your website a better chance of showing up in AI answers when someone asks a related question.
While the professional jury is still on on whether LLMs.txt files directly impact AI results, the way language models ingest information is changing everyday. Having an LLMs.txt file in place on your website ensures it’s formatted in a way that’s easily readable for AI.
Google Maps Load Time
Embedding a Google map is a popular feature on real estate websites, but it can slow down your site load speed… which is bad for conversions. If your page takes too long to load, visitors are likely to hit the back button and look at a different site. The more visitors who bounce from your site, the more Google thinks there’s an issue, meaning you’ll start dropping in search result rankings. Overall, slow page speed is bad for business. We implemented a change in September to address this issue.
We built a new drag-and-drop website element that replaces embedded Google Maps with a look alike option that doesn’t slow down page load speeds. In the past, when you embedded a Google map onto a webpage, it was live and interactive right away. This requires javascript to load with the page, slowing down overall page speed. The new Google Maps block pattern shows a preview of the map using your specific address. The map looks the same to a visitor, but doesn’t become interactive until the visitor engages with it.
This one change improved site speed from 72 (a yellow warning score) to 90 (green)!
Hide or Show Website Elements Based on Screen Size
According to our data, 50% of visitors come to Carrot sites from desktops and 50% use mobile devices. That means your site needs to look good and perform well on all types of screen sizes. But you’re not a web designer, so how do you make sure that happens? Stop stressing over your design and let our built-in features handle it for you.
One of our Q3 updates is the ability to show or hide certain parts of your website based on the user’s screensize. For instance, you can have an eye-catching arrow pointing to a form on the desktop view, but hide that element on mobile to make sure the form isn’t pushed too far down the page. This feature makes it fast and easy to ensure your site looks great and performs well on both desktop and mobile!
Speed Improvement for Google Analytics Users
Carrot websites have a certain amount of metrics built in, but the power of data and insights really shines when you have Google Analytics (GA) connected to your site. This allows us to pull even more data into your in-Carrot reporting dashboards. (Trust me, as a professional marketer, you 100% should have Google Analytics connected to your site!)
But, just like embedding Google Maps, connecting GA is notorious for potentially slowing down your page load speed. To address this and improve your page speed, we now delay Google Analytics script loading by two seconds. This gives your pages a head start before analytics loads, allowing visitors to see critical information quickly.
On average, sites see a 5–10 point improvement on PageSpeed Insights scores from this optimization. This means stronger Core Web Vitals and better signals to Google — all of which helps your SEO and general visitor experience.
We have even more great updates coming in the next few weeks and months!
More Design Customization
Carrot website templates are designed very specifically for optimal lead conversion. We’ve literally spent years testing into our templates (there’s a reason we recommend the pages we do and have the navigation in a certain order … it’s because it improves conversion!).
But you’ve been asking for ways to make your site look more unique and stand out from other Carrot-hosted sites. And we heard you.
In May, we released new drag and drop block patterns — pre-built sections that you can use to add content, images, FAQs, testimonials, and more to your site in just seconds. Pick your favorites, put them wherever you want on the page, set your custom colors, and choose from hundreds of pre-loaded icons. Using these block patterns is a great way to customize the look of your site while maintaining its performance and hitting all your credibility factors.
In Q4, we’re giving you even more template options, design elements, and customization options to make your site really stand out while maintaining its performance. Stay tuned, I expect the new templates to be released in early Q4!
Property Analysis & Offer Recommendation AI
We aren’t done with CarrotCRM AI features! The next iteration will take Carrot’s Market Scout, property reports, and AI Summaries to the next level with an AI feature that analyzes an opportunity and suggests a good offer price based on your business parameters.
Make sure you start the video at 54:30!
See you in Q4!
