Home Builder SEO: Our Approach
We approach SEO for new home builder clients as a long term investment. While other firms may focus on technical fixes, we know that properly executing an SEO campaign requires more than just updating meta titles, schema markups, and fixing a few broken links. While these are still necessary parts of SEO, they’re no longer enough.
Google’s algorithm is constantly updated to better reward high quality content with first page rankings, and penalizing websites that use outdated SEO techniques such as keyword stuffing and paid, low quality links. In other words, the only way to secure a high ranking long term is to create content that truly answers searchers’ intent.
Creating this content is easier said than done, which is why our SEO teams consist of dedicated specialists. They are:
- Writers who will create original blog articles, landing pages, as well as more specialized content
- An editor to ensure each deliverable lines up with your brand guidelines and voice
- An SEO strategist to evaluate the search intent of each keyword and build a full Hub & Spoke content plan for your campaign
- A conversion optimization specialist to ensure each page follows CRO best practices
- A web developer to implement any technical fixes and backend changes that are required before your website will rank
- A reporting specialist who will monitor leading indicators and report on your campaign’s ROI
- A campaign manager to tie it all together, providing project management and serving as the main point of contact for your business
This team will work closely with you to build a campaign that generates real ROI for years to come.
