In this episode, we talk to Seth Price, Managing Partner and CEO of BluShark Digital, about search engine optimization and when it makes sense for real estate agents to spend money on search marketing. Price takes us through the four factors that lead to optimization: 1) high quality content; 2) authoritative links; 3) the structure of your website; and 4) your local presence through Google My Business. When these four factors are strong, then you have a good shot at a high Google ranking. The goal is to show that you are the most authoritative through persuasive content, links from other people and a strong, robust local presence on Google. We also discuss maximizing the value of paid SEM.
