    Why specialist SEO

    Most estate agency websites are invisible to the searches that matter, not because the branding is wrong, but because the property results are a filter rather than a set of pages.

    What Google can reach
    Behind a filter1
    • /properties

    A crawler cannot press your filter buttons. Every local search you should be winning has nothing of yours to find.

    Built as pages5
    • /houses-for-sale/didsbury
    • /houses-for-sale/chorlton
    • /flats-for-sale/m20
    • /houses-for-sale/sale
    • /new-homes/didsbury

    The same inventory, as URLs that can each rank, each be linked to, and each answer a search someone is typing.

    Location pages

    A page for every area you want instructions from

    Dedicated, indexable pages built around real local search demand, written about the area, not templated from a list of place names.

    • Postcodes
    • Property types

    Technical foundations

    The layer that decides whether Google sees you at all

    Speed, structure and crawlability. Content published onto a site search engines struggle to read is content wasted, so this comes first, every time.

    • Schema
    • Sitemaps
    • Crawl budget
    The foundations

    Speed

    • LCP
    • INP
    • CLS
    • Image formats
    • CDN

    Structure

    • Schema
    • Headings
    • Internal links

    Crawlability

    • Sitemaps
    • Indexation
    • Crawl budget
    Content that converts

    Traffic is not the point. Valuations are, so every page is built to attract the right visitor and turn them into a valuation request.

    01

    Technical audit

    Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and the property search architecture itself, which is where almost all of the opportunity is hiding.

    Location pages

    A page for every area you want instructions from, written about the area rather than templated from a list of place names.

    • Towns
    • Postcodes
    • Property types
    03

    On-page work

    Unique titles and descriptions, headings that match the question being asked, and internal linking with anchors that describe where they go.

    • Titles & meta
    • Headings
    • Descriptive anchors
    04

    Content programme

    Area guides, market commentary, and the questions vendors ask each other before they instruct anyone.

    • Area guides
    • Market commentary
    • Vendor questions
    05

    Local visibility

    Google Business Profile, citations and review signals, where a large share of estate agent search actually resolves, and where most agencies have never looked.

    • Business Profile
    • Citations
    • Reviews
    06

    Authority

    Digital PR, local partnerships and the property press. The slow part, and the part that holds a position once you have it.

    • Digital PR
    • Local partnerships
    • Property press

    Reporting

    Against a baseline agreed at the start, in enquiries as well as positions. Every plan is scoped around coverage rather than sold as a fixed tier.

    What it looks like when it works

    01

    The searches with instructions behind them

    "houses for sale in [area]" is the query a vendor runs while they are still deciding who to instruct. It is local, it repeats every month, and it needs a page to land on.

    02

    The one they type when they have decided

    "estate agents near me" resolves locally and it resolves fast. Google Business Profile, citations and reviews decide it as much as the website does.

    03

    Research intent, captured early

    "[area] property market" is someone six months out. Answer it well and you are the name they already know when they are ready.

    04

    The half nobody builds for

    Landlord and vendor questions about fees, timings and what a property will achieve. Low volume, high intent, and in most towns almost entirely uncontested.

    05

    The question asked to an assistant

    Increasingly the shortlist is drawn before a results page is ever opened. The pages that get cited are overwhelmingly the pages that already rank.

    How it runs

    01

    Discovery call

    We look at what you rank for now, what the agencies you compete with rank for, and where the gap is. No obligation, and you keep the findings either way.

    02

    Audit and plan

    Technical, content and visibility gaps mapped against the searches actually happening in your patch, and in AI assistants, which behave differently to Google.

    03

    Build and fix

    Location pages, schema, site speed, the property search itself. Whatever is holding rankings or conversion back gets fixed before anything new is added.

    04

    Run and report

    Content, listings and social output each month, reported against your own Search Console and GA4, not a dashboard of numbers that flatter us.
