Local Citations: A Must for Real Estate Investors
Local citations are essential for a successful SEO strategy, especially for real estate investors. Why? Because you’re a local service, and without having local citations connecting your business online you won’t rank high in Google and Bing searches. And, as we’ve been over before, not appearing at or near the top of search engine results is bad for business.
We’ve covered the best SEO practices for real estate investors in previous articles. You got a complete SEO checklist, developed a strong user interaction strategy for your website, and learned everything you need to know about black hat and white hat SEO tactics.

If you thought that having an out of town area code isn’t a big deal, think again.
In a case study, Software Advice found that “80% of people are extremely unlikely to pick up for an out-of-state phone number” and “13% of people are unlikely” to do the same.

How Should You Market Your Real Estate Investing Business?
How Should You Market Your Real Estate Investing Business?
Knowing how to market your real estate investing business is the most important part of this line of work. Why? Think of it this way: if people don’t know you exist then how are you going to get leads?
The truth of the matter is, as the owner of your own business you need to be wearing lots of different hats. And the most important one has got to be marketing. You can’t get leads, or connect with other investors, or sell your inventory if you don’t market your real estate investing business.
Real Estate Investing and Social Media
Real estate investing and social media sounds pretty self explanatory, right? You’re probably thinking, “Yeah I know, I’ve got a FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and all of that. So what?” It goes further than just having a profile, you need to be keeping up with it.
We’ve been over social media marketing before in other blog posts, so we won’t focus so much on marketing in this article. Instead, we’re going to be looking at why your real estate investing business should be on social media, which platforms are the best for you, and how you can expand your business’s brand without even leaving your comfy desk!
