Did you know that almost 50% of companies don’t keep an eye on their competition?
Monitoring your competitors is essential to become successful and stay on top of Google’s search results. This way you can see how well they are doing and what you need do to improve and succeed.
To give you a helping hand, we are offering a FREE competitor analysis for Estate Agents. Within this essential document we will analyse your website as well as your competitors, to see where strengths and weakness are in order to discover opportunities and eliminate any threats.
In your analysis we will look at 6 key areas to determine exactly who your competitors are, how successful they are and how they rank in search engines compared to your estate agency.
Our competitor analysis involves:
You need to rank for the most effective keywords in order to generate more leads. So, the first thing we do is carry out a keyword analysis to figure out which keywords you should be optimising your website for to increase your search presence.
With your target keywords in hand, we then look at who your competitors are and if they rank higher or lower than you in all major search engines.
Want to analyse specific competitors you already have in mind? That’s not a problem, simply let us know upon request.
Next we find out why!
Next we will look at link building, link building is the process of analysing every link pointing to and from a website and finding ways to increase the number of ‘high quality’ links pointing to your website.
Why is link building important? A website with strong linking signals will be deemed more trustworthy and ranked higher by search engines. We will look at current links to and from your website as well as your competitors.
It’s vital to be active on social media as a business. In 2019 it is predicted that there will be around 2.77 billion social media users around the globe. So we will look at your existing social media following compared to your competitors to determine where strategical improvements could be made.
Top tip – Use social media automation tools such as Hootsuite to schedule posts, freeing up time to go out on property viewings and generate more leads!
A Google My Business profile is an important ranking factor, especially if your estate agency is looking to rank locally in a Google Search result.
We will check to see if your company and your competitors have an existing Google My Business account. If you don’t have one already, we can create and optimise it to the best it can be so that you appear at the top of Google in local search results.
So why do you need a Google My Business listing? Google My Business gives you the ability to list your business location on Google Maps and local search results.
To finish your free competitor analysis we will look at your competitors websites in more detail to define their strengths and weaknesses. We will look at your competitors content, use of images and what keywords they target. This will give you an idea on what you need to improve and what you are already doing better than them.

Your competitors could be using a new strategy or following a new trend which you are unaware of if you don’t monitor them and your business could fall behind. There may be a new way that competitors are showcasing a property which is gaining a lot of interest, if you are unaware of this you are likely to fall behind.
You could be thinking of trying a new idea to market your properties, unaware that your competitors have already done this, and unsuccessfully. If you are keeping an eye on them you will already know that the campaign is not likely to be successful, saving time and money.
Knowing how your competitors work gives you an advantage when dealing with customers who are ‘shopping around’.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you are better than you competition, encouraging them to choose you.

Making sure your website is optimised will please Google and other major search engines, helping you rank higher than your competitors. Carrying out digital marketing allows you to take a more indepth look at how optimised your website really is. Your website might look amazing visually, but if it’s not optimised for search engines then you won’t rank anywhere!
If your competitors use paid advertising this can boost their organic search ability, reaching more potential clients. There are many different types of paid advertising, these include:
If you run a PPC campaign, you can actually pay Google to appear in the top of search results, above all organic traffic so your website is the first thing that people see. If you are targeting keywords that have low competition, this is an excellent way to get immediate website traffic at a potentially low cost.
Using paid advertising on social media channels such as Facebook will allow you to specifically target your audience who are using these social media channels. Since a lot of people use social media, this is a great way to specifically target people interested in buying, selling or renting property.
