We Analyzed the Top-Ranking Carrot Sites: Here’s 7 Things They’re Doing Right

By

Struggling to rank your real estate website in competitive markets? You’re not alone. SEO can feel overwhelming. So, instead of sharing opinions on what it takes to rank, we thought we’d let the data speak for itself. We analyzed the top-ranking Carrot sites across 8 markets (6 large, 1 medium, and 1 small) for the most competitive keyword “Sell my house fast [location]” to answer this question: What specific actions are driving their high rankings? Click Here to See the Full Report Note: It should be no secret today that SEO leads produce the highest ROI for investors/agents and even produce higher profits than other deals—check out this post on how Carrot leads convert at a 7x higher rate than others and with 2.5x higher profits! Table of Contents Unlock the Secrets of Top-Ranking Carrot Sites: 7 SEO Tactics to Rank in Your Market A Preface: Time — It’s not what you think Before listing the items for ranking, let’s clear the air first.  Most people think that it takes YEARS to rank.  That’s not necessarily true.  See the image below, and you’ll notice that 45% of the top-ranking sites we analyzed are less than two years old, and 15% are less than one year old. So, the old adage “It takes years” wasn’t true for almost half of the sites we looked at.  So, if your SEO journey is starting, there’s hope,. That means the only reason those new sites are ranking (even in competitive areas like Dallas) is that they implemented these 8 factors.  [NOTE: We’ll list off in order from easiest/fastest to implement to hardest/longest] 1) About Page This is the easiest and quickest thing you can implement today. All of the sites we analyzed had custom About pages. They didn’t use a generic one. You can find a complete guide here to create your own About Page. Here are some quick tips for creating a stellar About Page: The bottom line is to ensure you have location pages for each city/area you buy houses in. 2) Leverage Many Location Pages All the newer sites that are ranking had this in common: They had many location pages.  What are location pages?  A location page is a dedicated website page that targets a specific geographic area, also known as a “city page.” These pages are designed to target users in that particular location. Example of location pages  For example, let’s say that our main URL and home page are “CarrotWillBuyYourHouse.com.” However, we’ll also have a page with a URL Auto Location Tool Carrot has a feature that can automatically create these location pages for you with a button click.  Here’s a quick video on how to activate your location pages in minutes:  3) Video Marketing All the newer ranking sites we analyzed have videos throughout (with the exception of one; however, that one made up for it with lots of organic keywords — more on this later).  What type of videos?  Google is giving more credence to websites with many videos; it’s what their users consume. It might seem daunting, but it can be as easy as pulling out your phone and hitting “record.” At Carrot, we’ve published a Playbook on Video Marketing for investors and agents here.  4) Organic Keywords These analyzed sites had a large number of organic keywords on the website and content. This does not mean you “keyword stuff.” Google will fiercely punish that. See our SEO Basic Guide on On-Page Content. Keywords do one thing: They help the user and Google understand exactly who the website is for and what it does. So, … Continued

$125,000/Month in Deals with Inbound Marketing and the Carrot System – Brian Rockwell Success Story

By

Brian started his journey as a coach and a middle-school teacher. Today, he’s a top real estate investor in Dallas, Texas who’s been making well above $100,000 per month from inbound marketing (SEO and PPC) and the Carrot system. × × Launch the highest converting website in real estate in minutes. Try Carrot Today Brian Rockwell with Sell Your House DFW, a Carrot member for about 14 months as of the time he hopped on a call with us, has been crushing the Dallas/Fort Worth market online with his real estate investing/wholesaling business. Here is a recent text message he sent directly to Carrot’s CEO, Trevor Mauch… “6 wholesale deals this month if all goes through. $124k… 4 ppc, 1 organic, 1 Facebook retargeting. 1 has closed the other 5 are under contract with a buyer and the last one waiting on a buyer. Carrot system is still rockin’” – Brian Rockwell Listen in or read his story as an investor, where his leads come from, and what his inbound marketing strategy is that has led to $100k of consistent deals per month. In high school, a friend of Brian’s introduced him to his dad. Brian’s father owned a roofing company and a few other businesses he had founded in a grass-roots sort of way. In a word, he was an entrepreneur. It was the first time Brian remembers being introduced to an entrepreneur of that caliber. Someone who really knew what they were doing understood how to manage money and grow a business. Needless to say, Brian was fascinated. And from that day forward, Brian wanted to be an entrepreneur. As time went on, he became increasingly interested in the real estate investor niché, dreaming of the day that he’d make it big. But, what he didn’t know at the time was that he’d have to wait 12 years until that happened. As Brian graduated from school and joined the sect we all refer to as family life, the importance of supporting his wife and kids rose to the top of his priorities. In an effort to do so, he became a track, football, and baseball coach and taught classes as well. In other words, he became a phenomenal generalist, something he wasn’t particularly passionate about. I mean, of course, that he wasn’t passionate about being a generalist. The coaching and teaching he loved. He was able to inspire students and co-workers daily and encourage them to be the best version of themselves that he could possibly imagine. Brian’s evenings, lunch breaks, and weekends, though, were filled with his dream of becoming a real estate investor and being financially free — something he wanted to do but was unsure of how to do. He would scour real estate investor resources. Particularly, he fell in love with biggerpockets.com. For 5 years, this was his life. He dreamt of being a real estate investor and studied what that could look like in his free time. But most of his time was taken up by teaching, coaching, and family. Eventually, Brian’s wife got a job that was capable of supporting the family, and he was free to pursue his passion. Through a Bigger Pockets forum discussion, he found out about Carrot and went to work creating his website. Listening to the 3LPD training that we offer here at Carrot, Brian learned about the importance of building credibility and personality with your website. So, he took extra time to add a picture of his family on the “about” page. He even added a core values section to his website after researching other businesses’ core values and … Continued

Are These 7 Mistakes Sabotaging Your Real Estate Website Conversion?

By

Are you frustrated that your real estate website isn’t generating the expected leads? You’re not alone. Many agents and investors struggle to convert website visitors into clients. The good news is that a few common mistakes can be easily fixed. In this blog post, we’ll reveal the top 7 real estate website conversion killers << watch this video] sabotaging you and show you what to do instead. × × Demo Carrot: How many deals are you losing to your competitor’s website? Take a Free Demo 7 Real Estate Website Conversion Killers 1. Not Optimizing Your Forms The Problem: Having too many form fields and unclear calls to action (CTAs) creates a conversion roadblock. Visitors get intimidated by lengthy forms, and CTAs that don’t clearly communicate the benefit leave them unsure of what they’ll get in return for their information. Data and Insights: Studies by HubSpot show that forms with fewer fields see significantly higher conversion rates. Unbounce research indicates that landing pages with 3 form fields convert at a rate 10.25% higher than those with 4 fields and a whopping 12.05% higher than those with 5 fields. The Solution: Keep your forms short and sweet, with only 3-4 absolutely necessary fields. Focus on capturing essential information like name, email address, and phone number (if relevant). Here’s the breakdown of key fields: By streamlining your forms and using clear CTAs, you’ll remove friction from the conversion process and encourage more website visitors to become qualified leads. 2. Cramming Too Much Info into Your Hero Section The Problem: A cluttered hero section overwhelms visitors with information overload. They won’t know where to look or what action to take, leading to a missed opportunity to capture their attention and guide them toward conversion goals. Data and Insights: Studies by Crazy Egg show visitors typically spend less than 8 seconds on a webpage before deciding to stay or leave. This emphasizes the importance of a strong first impression, and the hero section is prime real estate for grabbing user attention. Unbounce research also indicates that websites with clear hero sections featuring a single, focused message see conversion rate increases of up to 93%. The Solution: Keep your hero section clean and focused. Here are key elements for crafting a high-performing hero section: By following these steps and prioritizing a clear, focused message in your hero section, you’ll increase engagement, improve user experience, and ultimately convert more website visitors into leads. 3. Not Addressing Client Needs and Objections Upfront The Problem: Leaving website visitors feeling unsure if you can solve their problems. Many people searching for real estate investors or agents have specific concerns and anxieties. If your website doesn’t acknowledge these concerns, visitors may bounce or choose a competitor who seems to understand their situation better. Data and Insights: According to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) survey, 82% of buyers and sellers say it’s very or somewhat important to work with a real estate agent who understands their needs. Furthermore, a study by Zillow indicates that 44% of potential sellers hesitate to list their home because of the perceived complexity of the process. The Solution: Anticipate your ideal client’s worries and address them directly on your website. Here are some strategies to build trust and establish yourself as a solution provider: By proactively addressing client needs and objections upfront, you’ll build trust, alleviate anxieties, and position yourself as a valuable resource. This will lead to more qualified leads and, ultimately, more successful client relationships. 4. Not Including Credibility and Social Proof The Problem: In the competitive world of real estate, building trust with … Continued
