The Challenge: $20,000 in Debt and Struggling to Generate Qualified Leads
Tyler Ford started his real estate career using traditional marketing strategies but quickly realized they weren’t yielding the results he needed.
I was spending a lot of time on tactics that weren’t bringing in the right leads. I needed a smarter way to grow.
Despite his efforts, Tyler’s website and high Google rankings weren’t converting into profitable deals. He recognized that most real estate agents were overlooking off-market opportunities and needed a more targeted approach.
I could drive traffic to my site, but without the right leads, it wasn’t translating into sales. I had to rethink my entire strategy.
What was missing?
Tyler realized that focusing on traditional methods wasn’t enough—he needed to attract motivated sellers specifically looking for off-market deals.
Tyler pivoted his strategy toward mastering SEO and targeted lead generation, which allowed him to scale his business and close more profitable deals.
To grow his real estate business early on, Tyler Ford relied on traditional marketing methods but struggled to see meaningful results.
When you’re using outdated strategies, it feels like you’re working hard but not getting anywhere—one month you close a deal, but the next, the leads dry up.
And while you might have some visibility online, it’s not converting into profitable deals.
It felt like I was doing all this work, but I wasn’t seeing consistent returns, and there was little I could do to change that with my current approach.
The Solution: Master SEO and Targeted Lead Generation
Then Tyler came across a Carrot webinar where Carrot CEO Trevor Mauch discussed the power of SEO and online lead generation.
I immediately thought, “This is what I’ve been missing.” I wanted to attract qualified leads directly to my business, not rely on outdated methods.
I saw how focusing on SEO could completely transform my approach, and once I understood the impact, it was an easy decision to dive in.
Tyler got to work mastering his SEO Approach and saw immediate results in generating quality traffic that turned into a consistent pipeline of highly motivated leads.
The Strategies: Tyler’s 8 Steps for Success
1. Complete Online Presence Overhaul
Tyler realized that having a website alone wasn’t enough. Even with good Google rankings, his old website wasn’t converting qualified leads. It’s like having a storefront on a busy street with locked doors and the lights off, making it impossible for potential customers to see what you have to offer.
2. Focus on One Thing: Master SEO
Tyler knew he needed to master one aspect of marketing instead of spreading himself too thin. He chose search engine optimization (SEO) because it would have the biggest impact on his online visibility. Rather than trying to learn multiple marketing tactics at once, he became a master of laser-targeted SEO.
3. Laser-Targeted SEO
SEO wasn’t just about attracting any traffic but about specifically targeting motivated house sellers actively searching for his services. Through meticulous keyword research, Tyler uncovered the “digital fingerprints” left by his target audience, optimizing his website to appear at the top of relevant search results.
4. Hyper-Relevant Local Content
Tyler didn’t just throw any real estate content on his website. He made sure everything was hyper relevant to his local market in Arizona. By becoming the Arizona expert, he built credibility and trust within his local community, making him the go-to agent for potential clients.
5. Building Trust Upfront
Tyler avoided being the pushy salesperson. Instead of bombarding visitors with sales pitches right off the bat, he provided valuable content upfront. This made him a trusted advisor rather than just another salesperson, allowing him to build crucial relationships before asking for the sale.
6. Leverage the Power of Video
In today’s digital age, video is key. Tyler harnessed the power of video not just to follow trends but to personally and engagingly connect with potential clients. Videos showcased his properties, explained his unique approach to real estate, and allowed his personality to shine through, making the interaction more personal and authentic.
7. Data-Driven Decisions
Tyler meticulously tracked his website traffic, identifying what content resonated with his audience and led to conversions. This analytical approach allowed him to constantly refine and optimize his strategies based on real data, essentially playing digital chess and always thinking a few moves ahead.
8. Identify Your ‘Why’
The foundation of Tyler’s success was his clear ‘why.’ For him, it was about achieving freedom and flexibility, building a business that worked for him, not the other way around. Having a strong driving force behind your goals can be the difference between giving up when things get tough or pushing through.
The Result: Closing Consistent Highly Profitable Deals Per Month
Tyler Ford’s story highlights a larger trend: achieving extraordinary results through strategic online marketing. From being $20,000 in debt, overwhelmed, and struggling to know if he should even continue his real estate journey to closing 2-4 deals per month with $20,000-$30,000 in profit per deal. Tyler knew he wouldn’t find the success he was after through luck or being in the right place at the right time. He chose to take control and created his own opportunities using his Carrot site and getting laser focused on generating the most motivated leads.
By focusing on core strategies like SEO, leveraging video, and making data-driven decisions, you too can unlock remarkable success.
