Specialized SEO for real estate developers, brokers, and agents. Increase property inquiries, dominate local search, and generate qualified leads ready to buy or rent.
Real estate isn't impulse buying. Your prospects aren't making a decision in five minutes or even five days. They research for weeks or months, comparing neighborhoods, prices, amenities, builders, brokers, and financing options. They consult family, visit properties multiple times, and agonize over what might be the biggest financial decision of their lives.
This extended decision journey changes everything about how SEO strategy works for real estate. You're not just competing for rankings—you're competing to stay visible and top-of-mind throughout a 3-6 month research process.
We've worked with over 120 real estate clients across India—luxury developers, affordable housing projects, commercial real estate firms, individual brokers, property portals, and real estate aggregators. Here's what we've learned: the properties that sell fastest aren't always the best or cheapest. They're the ones that buyers discover early in their search, trust throughout their research, and remember when they're ready to decide.
Your online presence needs to work at every stage of this journey. When someone starts researching "2 BHK apartments [locality]", you need to appear. When they're comparing "best residential projects [city]", your projects need prominence. When they search "[your project name] reviews", you need positive, detailed information. This comprehensive visibility across the entire buyer journey is where strategic real estate SEO becomes critical.
Understanding how property buyers search is essential to building effective search optimization strategy. Based on our analysis of 3.8 million property search sessions, here's what actually happens:
Buyers begin broadly: "best areas to buy property [city]", "2 BHK vs 3 BHK", "property prices [locality]". They're exploring options, understanding market rates, and identifying neighborhoods that fit their budget and lifestyle.
SEO opportunity: Comprehensive neighborhood guides, price comparison content, area-wise property reviews, and location analysis. When someone in your city starts their property search, you want your content educating them and positioning your projects as options worth considering.
Now they're researching specific projects: "[project name] reviews", "best residential projects [locality]", "[builder name] reputation". They're narrowing options, comparing amenities, checking builder credibility, and reading owner reviews.
SEO opportunity: Detailed project pages with specifications, amenities, pricing, floor plans, location advantages, and genuine owner testimonials. This is where you establish credibility and get shortlisted for site visits.
Buyers are comparing 3-5 shortlisted projects: "[project A] vs [project B]", "connectivity from [project name]", "nearby schools [locality]", "ROI [project name]". They're evaluating infrastructure, appreciation potential, rental yields, and lifestyle fit.
SEO opportunity: Comparison content, location infrastructure guides, investment analysis, rental yield calculators, and future development information. Your content needs to address every evaluation criterion buyers care about.
They've decided. They're searching: "[project name] booking process", "[builder name] customer care number", "home loan [your bank partner]", "property registration process [city]". They need practical information to complete the purchase.
SEO opportunity: Clear booking information, payment plans, financing partnerships, documentation guides, and easy contact options. Make the final step seamless, and you close deals that your competitors lose to friction.

Challenge: A premium developer with ₹40-80 lakh apartments struggled to generate quality leads. Their projects were excellent, but lost visibility to competitors with larger marketing budgets. They relied heavily on expensive property portals (₹8-15 lakh annual spend) and brokers (3-4% commissions) while their own website generated fewer than 10 inquiries monthly.
Our Strategy:
Results in 13 months:
"We thought property portals were the only way to reach buyers online. Now our own website generates more qualified leads than any paid platform—and these buyers are better informed, more serious, and easier to close. SEO has completely changed our customer acquisition economics." — VP Sales & Marketing
Challenge: An experienced broker with 15+ years in a Tier 2 city faced increasing competition from large brokerages and online portals. His business relied entirely on referrals and walk-ins, which were declining 15-20% year-over-year. He had no meaningful online presence.
Our Strategy:
Results in 10 months:
"I was skeptical about 'online marketing' after seeing what worked for 15 years stop working. But buyers have changed—they all search on Google first now. Being visible there has brought my business back stronger than ever. I'm closing more deals at better margins than I did five years ago." — Broker & Proprietor
Challenge: A developer focused on ₹15-35 lakh affordable housing projects struggled to reach first-time homebuyers. Their target audience—young families, first-time buyers, and middle-income groups—researched extensively online but weren't finding their projects. Despite competitive pricing and good locations, site visits were 40% below target.
Our Strategy:
Results in 11 months:
"Our buyers are first-time homebuyers who research everything online before visiting a site. Having comprehensive, trustworthy information available when they search has made us their first choice. We're selling faster than comparable projects because buyers discover us early and stay engaged throughout their decision journey." — Project Head
We analyze your specific market, buyer segments, and competitive landscape. This includes researching property search behavior in your locations, identifying your strongest competitors and their strategies, understanding buyer demographics and search patterns, analyzing your current digital presence and gaps, and mapping the complete buyer journey for your property types.
Real estate websites often have technical issues that hurt rankings. We audit and optimize site speed (especially image-heavy property pages), mobile responsiveness for on-the-go property searchers, schema markup for properties and reviews, XML sitemaps for large property databases, internal linking structure, and user experience for inquiry forms.
We develop your content roadmap covering project pages for each property/development, neighborhood and locality guides, property type pages (2BHK, 3BHK, villas, plots), investment and appreciation content, buyer education resources, comparison content, and amenity-focused pages.
Every content piece serves a specific purpose in the buyer journey and coordinates with your overall digital marketing strategy including social media and paid campaigns.
We execute the strategy through on-page optimization of existing property listings, creation of location-specific content, Google Business Profile optimization for each project, local citation building, review generation and management, image optimization and alt text, and property schema implementation.
Real estate credibility comes from multiple signals. We build authority through strategic link acquisition from property and local websites, features in real estate publications, participation in local business directories, builder/broker association listings, and positive review accumulation.
As results compound, we scale what works by expanding into adjacent neighborhoods and property types, creating more detailed amenity and infrastructure content, building comparison content against competitors, optimizing high-traffic pages for conversion, and implementing advanced targeting for commercial, rental, or investment properties.
Real estate is emotional. Buyers aren't just comparing specifications—they're imagining their lives in your properties. We create content that addresses both rational factors (price, location, amenities) and emotional factors (lifestyle, status, security, community). This psychological understanding drives higher engagement and inquiry rates.
We've executed real estate SEO in over 35 Indian cities. We understand regional search patterns, local property preferences, and city-specific buyer behavior. What works for Mumbai luxury apartments differs completely from Bangalore IT corridor housing or Pune affordable housing.
We don't just drive traffic—we drive qualified inquiries. Our approach optimizes the entire funnel from initial awareness content to comparison pages to inquiry forms. Our real estate clients typically see 3-5x better conversion rates than industry averages because we attract better-qualified traffic and guide them effectively toward inquiry.
Real estate has clear unit economics. We track not just rankings and traffic, but inquiries generated, site visits booked, and properties sold from organic search. You know exactly which SEO efforts drove which sales. This attribution clarity makes investment decisions easy.
SEO doesn't exist in isolation. We coordinate with your sales team to understand which content and keywords generate the highest-quality leads, optimize forms and contact flows for maximum conversions, provide content that answers questions your sales team hears repeatedly, and support your offline marketing with online visibility.
Let's discuss your properties, target buyers, and growth goals. We'll show you exactly how we'd approach your real estate SEO and what results you can expect.
Schedule Your Real Estate SEO ConsultationReal estate SEO deals with longer decision cycles (3-6 months vs days/weeks), higher transaction values (requiring more trust signals), intense local competition, seasonal fluctuations, and buyers who evaluate dozens of options before deciding. Generic SEO doesn't account for these dynamics. We've developed specialized approaches for the property market based on 120+ real estate clients.
Both, strategically. Generic terms like "2 BHK apartments [locality]" capture buyers early in their search when they're still discovering options. Project name terms like "[your project name] reviews" capture buyers later when they're evaluating you specifically. The optimal strategy uses generic terms for discovery and branded terms for conversion, with a content funnel connecting the two.
Initial results typically appear within 2-3 months—improved rankings for long-tail keywords, increased traffic, early inquiries. Significant inquiry volume usually builds months 4-7. By month 12, our average real estate client sees 250-400% more inquiries than their starting point. Actual sales timelines depend on your property type, price point, and sales process.
Most real estate companies spend ₹3-12 lakh annually on property portals like 99acres, MagicBricks, and Housing. While these generate leads, the cost per inquiry is ₹800-2,500. SEO costs less and generates better-quality leads because buyers discover you organically, not through aggregator listings. Our clients typically see 4-7x better ROI from SEO vs portals over 12 months.
Yes and no. Each project needs optimized pages and location-specific content. But they share common authority (your builder brand, overall reputation, backlink profile). We create a hub-and-spoke model where your main website builds domain authority, and individual project pages benefit from that authority while targeting their specific micro-markets.
Absolutely. Pre-launch is actually ideal for SEO because you have 6-12 months to build visibility before inventory is ready. We create anticipation content, location analysis, infrastructure development updates, and early bird registration pages. Many of our developer clients launch with 60-80% sold already because SEO created awareness and captured early interest.
