Estate agencies receive a steady stream of SEO offers promising page-one rankings. Some of that work helps; much of it does not. This guide separates the two.
For broad searches like “houses for sale Cape Town”, portals dominate. Competing head-on is expensive and rarely worth it. Focus instead on searches where your local expertise wins.
Complete, active and full of recent reviews. This drives calls from sellers searching for local agents.
Genuine local insight plus current listings and recent sales for each area you serve.
Articles that answer real questions: transfer costs, selling a deceased estate, renting with pets, what sectional title levies cover.
Fast pages, mobile-friendly design, clean URLs, correct titles and descriptions.
Community sites, local news, school and business associations, sponsorships.
THE ONLY METRIC THAT MATTERS
Enquiries, valuations and viewings from organic search. Rankings and traffic are a means to that end.
SEO brings visitors; your website has to turn them into conversations. Clear calls to action, WhatsApp buttons and an assistant that answers questions at any hour make every visit count.
CloudST focuses on that conversion side, with listing plugins that are search-friendly and an assistant that turns visitors into viewings.
