Link building for real estate agent websites
Our real estate link building services begin by naming local sites that already write about the towns you cover, then drafting each request as a document you can edit before it leaves. Each link that goes live is logged against the page it points to.
Nothing is bought, nothing is posted in bulk, and no site hears from us until you have cleared the message.
A link, in sign terms
A short chain from another lawn to yours
In plain terms, a link is text on a different website that a reader can tap to land on one of your pages. Picture a sign on a nearby post with a short chain running across to your own post, and you have the idea. Search engines read these chains as references between sites.
That is why link building for an agent website is slow, careful work. A reference from a page about one of your towns means something. One from a page unrelated to your service area adds almost nothing, so we do not chase those.
We commit to the steps, not to a position in search: the list, the written request, the log and your okay at each stage. The search work on your pages is what these links are meant to point at.
A link carries more weight when its destination page deserves the visit, so this work is paired with the map listing and town pages, the agent website itself, along with the written pieces that Strategic Content Assets supply under content marketing.
Five kinds of site we would ask
- Town pages
Community and town pages
Pages that gather local businesses or local services for one town. If your office serves that town, a line naming you and pointing at your page for it can fit.
- Event pages
Local event pages
Pages for gatherings in your towns that name the businesses taking part. We ask only when you really took part, and you pick the wording.
- Directories
Local business directories
Directories built around one town or region. The entry copies the contact details already printed on your Google Business Profile, so they read the same everywhere.
- Partner offices
Offices beside yours
A line on a partner office's site naming your service area and the property types you handle, worded by both offices before it is posted.
- Your own pages
Links between your own pages
Your town pages, property type pages and contact page can point at one another. This is the one kind of link we can place without asking an outside owner.
Where a request would land and what it would say
| Site we would approach | Line it would carry about you | Who clears it |
|---|---|---|
| A town or community page | Your name, your office and the towns covered | You read the message before it is sent |
| A page for a local event | That your office took part, only if it did | You choose whether to take part and clear the wording |
| A local business directory | Contact details and service area, matching your map listing | You confirm every detail |
| A partner office's website | One line naming your office and your property types | Both offices agree on the line |
| A local business association page | A brief entry that sends readers to your lead town page | You clear the entry text and its destination page |
How one link travels from idea to log row
Draw up the list of local places
We read the towns and property types on your site and note local pages that might reasonably mention an agent. You see the list and cross off any name you would rather we leave alone.
Write each request for one reader
A request is short and plain. It gives your name, your service area and the one page that fits that site's readers. It never mentions a property, an address, an offer or a client.
You read it, then it goes
No message leaves our outbox before your okay. If you want a line changed or a site dropped, we revise it and send the new version back to you.
Log each reply and each live link
Every site gets a row: asked, answered, live or declined, plus the page the link points to. The monthly note carries the rows that changed.
What stays inside the lines
- No purchased links, no link swaps in bulk, no paid placements.
- Each request names the agent and the towns covered, and nothing about a particular property.
- Messages leave out client names, street addresses, offers and transaction paperwork.
- You clear each message and each directory entry before it is sent or submitted.
- License wording or Equal Housing wording that a directory asks for comes from you and your brokerage; we copy what you hand us.
- Directory entries repeat the details on your Google Business Profile, with no extra claims.
- No site is asked to link to a page we have not finished writing.
A site may say no or never write back. The log records it and we turn to the next name.
Link myths an agent may hold
Passed around the officeAny site that links to you helps your agent website.
What hangs on the postA reference from a page unrelated to your service area carries little weight. We look for sites that sit near your towns and leave the rest alone.
Passed around the officeA package of links can be purchased and posted in an afternoon.
What hangs on the postPaid link schemes break published search engine rules, so we buy none. Each entry in your log came from a request that a person wrote and a site owner accepted.
Passed around the officeA live link means the work is over.
What hangs on the postLocal pages get redesigned, renamed or removed. We keep the log current and flag any link that changed or disappeared.
