Real estate
Real estate SEO in Perth
Real estate search in Australia is dominated by two portals. Any agency SEO strategy has to start by accepting that and finding the searches they do not own.
For property search terms, the major portals hold the results almost completely. An individual agency trying to outrank them on generic suburb property searches is spending money on a fight that is not winnable.
The searches worth having are the ones the portals structurally cannot serve: appraisal and valuation intent, questions about selling, suburb market commentary with a genuine local view, and the agent's own name. Those are where listings actually come from.
Real estate is also the industry most tempted by suburb pages, and the one where they most often go wrong. Forty templated suburb pages with the name swapped is the doorway pattern in its purest form. A handful of pages with real local market commentary, written by someone who works that area, is a different thing entirely.
How we work in this industry. We work on the searches an agency can realistically win rather than the portal-dominated ones, and we will say plainly which is which before any work starts. Suburb pages get built only where there is genuine local commentary behind them.
What is different in this industry
-
Do not fight the portals
Generic property searches belong to them. Accepting that early is what frees the budget for searches you can actually win.
-
Appraisal intent is the prize
Somebody searching what their property is worth is a vendor lead. That intent is far more valuable to an agency than buyer traffic and far less contested.
-
Suburb content, done properly
Genuine market commentary from someone who works the area, on a small number of suburbs. Not a template with the name substituted, which is a quality risk for no gain.
-
Agent-level visibility
Buyers and vendors search individual agents by name. Agent profile pages are often the most neglected and highest converting pages on an agency site.
Common questions
Can a real estate agency outrank the major portals?
On generic property searches, realistically no. On appraisal intent, local market questions and agent names, comfortably yes, and those produce listings rather than browsers.
Should we build a page for every Perth suburb?
No. That is the clearest doorway pattern there is. Build pages for the suburbs you genuinely work, with real commentary, and accept that is a small number.
What produces actual listings from search?
Appraisal and valuation intent, and agent name searches. Buyer traffic looks good in reports and rarely produces the vendor side, which is where the revenue is.
