Most Property Management Companies Are Dissatisfied with Their SEO Company
Does the following sound familiar?
- You're using the third, fourth, or even higher SEO Company.
- You're tired of paying hundreds of dollars every month for SEO Services and still ranking on page two or lower in Google.
- Each new SEO Firm professes to be an expert in SEO for Property Management Companies and promises that they can get you to the top of Google's search results. However, after several months or even years, your rankings have hardly moved, remained static, or even dropped.
- You're ranking well for small towns but not for the larger towns where there's tens or hundreds of times more business;
- Most importantly, you're not getting new properties from your website.
You logically conclude that, if all these Search Engine Optimization Companies have failed, it must be impossible for a Property Management Services Company to get a top search position.
My SEO Approach Can Move Your Company to the Top
It's not impossible. There's a Property Management Company currently in the top position. The Tooth Fairy didn't put them there. There's a reason. They may have a great website. Often they have the least terrible of many weak websites. However, there's always a reason. Regardless of why they're at the top, together we can do it better. We can and will win.
Read this page to find out why successive SEO Services continue to fail. Find out why my guaranteed, proven, partnership, client-focused, ethical and " white hat" approach to SEO for Property Management Companies is different and succeeds. I can make this happen.
Traditional Approach to SEO for Property Management Services
Most SEO Companies take a long-term approach to delivering new business through Search Engine Optimization.
Are you still waiting for your current SEO Company to deliver that surge of new properties they promised?
In return for a monthly fee, they
- Add content to the website each month. Content is essential. However, it's only one component of SEO. Furthermore, not all content is equal. Poorly written web pages can adversely affect your web position. SEO Companies understandably limit their time to match the monthly revenue.
- Content can be generated in-house, however most often it's available boilerplate content they purchase on a particular subject.
- There is usually very little concern that the content is something your potential customers are searching for or interested in discovering. (If it's a blog post, has anyone ever left a comment?)
- Content is not personalized either from the standpoint of the property owner or your business.
- The content is then handed off to the SEO Expert who most-often awkwardly embeds preselected keywords and key phrases into the copy.
- Read your website copy out loud. Does it trip all over itself? The uncomfortable feeling you get when you read it is the result of writing for Search Engines and not people. The annoyance may be more for me because I work with Web copy every day. However, I find web copy written for Search Engines insulting, and I can't wait to get away from it.
- You'll get all manner of reports analyzing your traffic.
- Statistics are certainly useful. However, the question you rarely hear is "How many new clients did you get from the website last month?" If you hire me, I'll ask that question every week. I'll ask you every week because new business is what really matters. If you're not getting new business the dollars spent on SEO are a big waste of money.
- Do you receive a detailed explanation of what your SEO Services Company did on your behalf during the month? Many SEO Companies do nothing.
Does Your SEO Company Represent Competing Property Management Services?
If your SEO Services provider represents other Property Management Companies offering the same services in your service area, you have a major conflict of interest. You're paying someone to apply all their SEO skills to promote your business. At the same time, competing Property Management Services are paying
your SEO Company to promote
their businesses.
SEO Companies can't logically or ethically represent competing businesses because doing so means they're competing with themselves. However, no matter which client wins, the SEO Company gets paid. If that doesn't make you mad, it should.
I represent only one Property Management Company in a service area. Please read on to find out more about my dedicated partnership approach your Property Management Business's success.
When you ask your current SEO Company if they also represent your competition, get their denial in writing. SEO Firms may initially answer no because
- separate teams work on competing accounts;
- a different office represents your competitor; or
- they "lack candor".
Regardless, the conflict remains because success for one Property Management Business's ranking by definition damages the others. Getting the non-compete agreement in writing, signed and witnessed, will often jog the memory of many less than scrupulous SEO Companies.
Partnership Approach to SEO for Property Management
SEO Expert Who Understands Business
- I'm a Property Management Business SEO Expert. However, I'm first and foremost a businessman. I understand what it means to make a payroll, control expenses, and expect a return on any investment including Search Engine Optimization.
- When I take on a new Property Management Business, or any business, I treat it like my own. As such, I want the top SEO position and increased business yesterday. Therefore, I do a tremendous amount of work on the front end of a project.
- The value of the hours I spend on this front end full-court press approach to SEO are far more than my monthly SEO fee. I want long-term partnerships with my SEO clients. The upfront effort represents my investment in the partnership.
- Successful SEO involves immersing yourself in the product or service you're marketing. By not breaking my concentration moving from one client to the other, I'm more efficient.
- The rapid improvement in search position drives increased business. The increase in business is exponential.
- Increased revenue
- proves that competent, professional SEO for Property Management Companies works if you have the right SEO Company, and
- very crucially, makes it a lot easier to write the check for my SEO Services each month when the amount is a fraction of the new business I'm generating.
- I'm 100% dedicated to promoting your Property Management Business. I don't represent competing Property Management Companies even if they offer different services. That's because you may want to offer additional services in the future. If I already have a client offering the new service, I immediately have a conflict of interest.
Let's get started now. Pick up the phone. It's that thing with a receiver and a cord you may have thought was a decorative paperweight. Call me. Let me look at your Property Management Business's website. I'll give you an idea of how long it will take to start seeing an increase in your business.
