By

Did you launch your website within the last 6 weeks and your website isn’t showing up anywhere on the first few pages of Google yet? Are you not quite sure how Google really works? Then this post is for you. We get this question all of the time… “I have had my website up and I can’t find it in Google yet”… in this video we’ll walk through how search engine’s like Google work, how search engines find websites, and how they rank your website in the search results. Understanding how search engines like Google work is essential for real estate professionals who want their websites to rank higher in search results and generate consistent leads through organic traffic. Key Takeaways By understanding the basics of how search engines crawl, index, and rank websites, real estate professionals can develop effective strategies to climb the search rankings over time, generating increasingly valuable organic leads for their business. Table of Contents Did You Launch Your Site Within The Last 6 Weeks and It’s Not Showing Up In Google? Not Ranked On The First Few Pages Of Google For Your Ideal Keywords? How Search Engines Work How Relevant is Your Website? Need More Online Leads For Your Wholesaling / House Flipping Business? Lead generation, at its best Attract, convert & close more motivated leads Try Carrot Today Did You Launch Your Site Within The Last 6 Weeks and It’s Not Showing Up In Google? If so, this video below is for you. The video is from Module 1 of 6 in our premium 3 Lead Per Day Training where we’re diving into the basics of SEO for those new to SEO. So we decided to yank this video from the course (just $99 for 40+ amazing training videos on PPC, SEO, and YouTube marketing) so it can be a resource for anyone. Basically, go through the steps I show in the video to check and see if your website is being indexed by Google first… if it is, then your work to climb the SEO rankings has begun! If it isn’t, follow the steps in the video to let Google know your website exists by doing a quick Google + posting that tells people about your new site and links to it and find some other ways to get a link to your new website online so Google can find the link and spider your website. We also suggest setting up a free Google Webmaster Tools account and submitting your sitemap to Google so it can make it that much easier for Google to always know when you have new content posted on your website. Give it a few days or a week and do the test above, again, on your real estate website and if it still isn’t showing up on the first few pages of Google for your company name and location, then it may not be indexed yet. But odds are, unless you have some penalties on your domain name from building spammy backlinks, you just need to give it a bit more time. Not Ranked On The First Few Pages Of Google For Your Ideal Keywords? Now, being indexed in Google (i.e. – Google has your site saved in their database) and ranking high for the specific keywords you want to go after are two completely different things. If you show up using the test above but not for the keywords you’re looking to rank for… now it’s time to “optimize” your website for the specific keywords you want to rank for. You can use some of the FREE … Continued

REVEALED: Your Real Estate Website is NOT Responsive? You’re Losing Up To 40% Of Your Leads

By

This is a Carrot Test Kitchen post – that’s where we break down the secrets of lead generation (building traffic & converting) to help YOU grow your real estate investment business. UPDATED 2/24/14 with thanks to Chris Clothier from memphisinvest.com and new screenshots. Is your real estate investor website mobile responsive? Having a responsive real estate investor website is important because of the types of devices users now have access to. If your website is not responsive then you need to find a template that is…quick. In other words… Does your real estate investing website automatically adapt for the screen on the device that your customer is using to look great to the customer so they engage in your website more easily? Responsive optimized real estate investing websites are critical. (Try our free test to instantly see how your website looks on mobile devices <— Click here) Even though a huge amount of internet use is taking place on tablets, mobiles and other devices, a frightening amount of real estate investor websites aren’t responsive for mobile users. Smartphone visits account for a huge share of the growth of the internet. People are using their mobile devices more frequently for local search – and that matters a lot for real estate investors. Google says that 40% of mobile searches are local in nature, which seems obvious once you think about it. People are using their phones to access information while they’re out and about. That trend is going to continue rising, and fast. If your real estate website is set up to convert well, it can easily capture leads from someone who is searching while stuck in their car, waiting in line, or killing a few spare minutes before a meeting. Plus, more and more people ditch getting a full on computer for their house and just use their cell phone to browse the internet and check their email. Too many real estate investor websites are losing huge amounts of conversions just by not being ready for them. So back to the main question… If you’re not, you should be checking out the InvestorCarrot demo video right now. But don’t worry… you’re not alone on optimizing for a responsive real estate investing websites. I’ll use an example from a really smart and successful investor now – just to show that even great real estate investors aren’t optimized for mobile. This guy has already been named to Inc’s 500 list and is one of Tennessee’s fastest growing businesses, so he’s doing a lot of things right. He’s working really hard to build an awesome business, and it shows. ((My thanks to Chris Clothier from memphisinvest.com – I just spoke to him about using his site as an example… and he’s right, it would have been more polite for me to ask permission first… I have never been good at asking first, but I’m trying to get better, so here’s my apologies along with my thanks to him for being a good sport.)) His site’s template isn’t responsive… it doesn’t automatically adjust the layout to make it easier for mobile phone users, which may or may not (depending on their device) be able to play the video on his home page. His site’s menus will be very difficult to use on a touch screen, and chances are good that he’ll lose any mobile users who may have been interested in his products and services. Just to be fair, Chris does have a nice looking website – here’s a desktop photo below.   There’s a few things I’d change to make it convert better, make it mobile optimized (obviously) and things … Continued
