If you are a real estate agent today, you no doubt have a web site, but is it bringing you quality leads. In todays competitive real estate market the statistics tell us that at least 80% of all real estate transactions begin on the web.

Many agents beleive they can put up a web site and the leads will roll in, this is not true. Lets think logically about this. How are people going to know about your web site, in most cases they will go and search in Google, Yahoo or even MSN. They start at the top of the first page with some phrase that they type in and work dwon till they find what they are looking for. In most cases they don’t even look beyond the first page, so normally the first 10 results.

The question is how do you get into those top 10 results and how do you pick your phrases. For most agents the best solution is to employ a company to do this for you, unless you can spare 10-15 hours per week, in most cases the amount a company charges you would be way less than this.
