Here’s What You Should Do If Your Real Estate SEO Rankings Drop: Recovery Guide

It can be a nightmare. One day, you’re on page one of Google for your target keyword phrases, and then, one day, you’re not. Maybe it starts by noticing that you’re not getting as many leads as usual. When you check to see what’s going on, you find that a few of your primary real estate SEO rankings are suffering — the ones that drive passive organic traffic to your real estate website. × × Featured Resource: The Ultimate SEO Keywords Guide Download for Free No SEO or content marketer can accurately predict what any future Google algorithm update will look like. But it would help if you thought about it like this: Search engines are built with the intention to serve people. “Core” algorithm updates typically happen a few times a year, as Google tries to continuously to improve the quality of its search results. The latest core update started rolling out on August 15, 2024: Google likes to reiterate that there is often nothing to fix on your site after core updates… “We know those with sites that experience drops will be looking for a fix, and we want to ensure they don’t try to fix the wrong things. Moreover, there might not be anything to fix at all.” … “There’s nothing wrong with pages that may perform less well in a core update.” Although, smaller core updates tend to happen every few months. Google has said: “We’re constantly making updates to our search algorithms, including smaller core updates.” So Google may have made updates to previous core updates, but they’ve also said: “We don’t announce all of these because they’re generally not widely noticeable.” But Google has acknowledged, when released, they can cause content to recover if improvements warrant.” Don’t get stuck thinking… “What can I do?” There are plenty of best practices you can optimize for. Focus on offering the best content you can. Algorithms seek to reward informative content. Here is a list of “high-level” questions to consider while creating unique content: Over the past few years, E-E-A-T, or Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness, has been considered a strong SEO guideline. Check out Google’s own guidance on creating helpful, reliable, people-first content to learn more about E-E-A-T and the impact it can make on your rankings. Now you have some information that you can point to from Google about how to move forward if your website was impacted negatively after a Google core update.

How Do SEO And Real Estate Keywords Play A Role In This? A huge part of Inbound Online Marketing as a real estate agent is getting your websites, YouTube videos, and other resources to rank well in Google for keyword phrases that prospective buyers and sellers searching online. So what is a “keyword phrase?” Consider this scenario for a minute. You don’t want to cook tonight and decide to go for dinner instead. The usual restaurants come to mind, but you want to impress your spouse and put in a little extra effort. So you hop on the computer and search for restaurants. You might start your search by food type (Seafood, Mexican, Italian) or look for a restaurant based on reviews and price. Does this look familiar? Google gives a few suggestions and then gives you search results that it thinks are the most relevant. Then you click some of those websites and check out the restaurant’s menu, price, and reviews. If everything looks good, you decide to try one of them. Did You See What Just Happened? This is the power of inbound marketing. Millions of people every day go to Google with questions or problems. If you can be on the first page of Google’s rankings, prospects come to you. As a real estate agent, your job is to get your website (the solution) in front of your prospect (house sellers and buyers) to help solve their problems. For example, if you want to purchase a house in Detroit, MI, you might Google “buy a house in Detroit.”  Or “real estate agent in Detroit.”  The websites that show up in the first several results in Google are the ones that will get that traffic to their websites, and as long as their website is set up to convert visitors, those websites will generate the most leads.
