Actual results REALTORS® just like you are seeing

Real Estate Web Creation works with agents and brokers all over North America, boosting organic traffic and lead volume in some of the most competitive markets in the U.S. and Canada. Based in Chicago, a number of my longest running clients are located right here in the Windy City but referrals have allowed our client base to expand each and every year since the beginning. While every website and every market poses unique challenges, here is a quick look at how our SEO and website development approach has helped create a better brand for just a few dedicated clients.

PALM BEACH COUNTY FL

Florida Search

Jeremy with the Mizner Residential Group reached out to me in the Spring of 2023 about transitioning his existing website using a different platform over to Sierra Interactive. After safely moving all of his content and website assets over to his new SI template, he later decided to invest heavily in SEO and further site development. A content-heavy approach from the beginning resulted in impressive gains in organic traffic and leads rather quickly and we fully expect this upward trend to continue as we expand on the work that has already been completed.

JACKSONVILLE FL

Brad Officer

With competition continuing to get much stronger in the Jacksonville market, Brad reached out to me back in early 2022 after another client gave him my info. Thanks to an aggressive approach from the beginning, we’ve seen impressive gains in organic traffic and leads throughout much of 2023, which is significant given the shift in market conditions around this time. As we keep executing our plan for Brad’s website, we fully expect these positive gains in organic traffic and leads to continue trending upward.

Fulton Grace

After failing to see satisfactory results from multiple SEO agencies over the years, TJ Rubin, owner of Fulton Grace Realty, reached out to me after being given my contact info by team leaders of the Seventy7 Group—agents who are both Real Estate Web Creation clients and also brokers at Fulton Grace. Given the Fulton Grace website is custom-built, taking TJ on as a client was a new challenge, but one I ran with. I officially started SEO work on his website back in early 2020, and in just 4 years, we’ve gone from just over 8,000 users per month to now just over 80,000 users per month in early 2024. It should be noted, however, that results like this are not typical, and shouldn’t be expected unless you have a very established domain, as well as a substantial monthly budget.

Chicago Condo Finder

Helaine Cohen, founder of Chicago Condo Finder, has been a long-time client since early 2012. Back on August 10th of that year, her website recorded its first visitors ever, totaling 6 for the day. Steady optimization efforts and a strategic content development plan that still continues to this day now have her website at the top of search results and a web presence that is stronger than ever. A recent review of her website showed 535,755 visitors for the year with 55.4% of that traffic volume being new visitors and 44.6% returning visitors. Helaine’s organic lead volume has also steadily increased over the years, elevating her business to extraordinary levels.

Gold Coast Realty

I initially started working with Leo Clark at Gold Coast Realty back in 2012, although back then work on his website was sporadic and on an as-needed basis. But after getting a better idea of what SEO entails, how competition factors into results, and getting a truer sense of how consistent work on his website could help elevate the Gold Coast Realty brand, it didn’t take long before part-time work evolved into an aggressive monthly investment. Simply put, going from minimal traffic back in 2012 and 2013 to just under 10,000 weekly organic sessions on a fairly consistent basis during peak times of the year has been one of my biggest success stories working in real estate SEO.

LAS VEGAS NV

Las Vegas Luxury Home Pro

Debbie Drummond was referred to me by another SEO agency in back in mid 2021. Prior to me working on Debbie’s website, that particular agency did an excellent job laying a strong foundation, so it was up to me to build on what was already accomplished and unlock new ways to drive relevant traffic and leads organically. Over the 2 years I worked on Debbie’s website, and during a time when market conditions were drastically changing, I was able to increase traffic from 13,000 users per month to over 19,000 users per month. Despite these exceptional results, however, Debbie decided to no longer work with me in July 2023 and she has not been a Real Estate Web Creation client since. 

UPDATE: Not even a year after discontinuing service with me and opting to work with a lesser SEO agency, user traffic has dropped considerably. The last slide is from the end of May ’24, showing 11,000 users for the month—well below even the original traffic volume this website was generating when I first started work. A real-life lesson that not all SEO services and/or strategies are equal. 

Tampa FL

Mike + Michelle

In terms of website development and SEO, Mike Grizzell of the Mike + Michelle Team really started to kick things up a notch back in the fall of 2017. Despite having the technical skills and ability to do what it takes to organically compete in search results, finding the time to develop a high-ranking website while also being a top producer in the Tampa market proved to be daunting task. So I picked things up right around the time he launched a new website with Real Estate Webmasters, which at the time was seeing under 100 weekly organic users. Since then, we’ve seen steady gains in both organic leads and organic traffic, and in early 2024 we cracked 8,000 users per month for the first time.

CALGARY AB

Calgary Home Boys

After failing to see satisfactory results from another SEO company, John reached out to me back in 2015 after another Real Estate Web Creation client gave him my info. Frustrated with the lack of results, he was hesitant to spend even more money on website development and SEO but had also heard good things from other Real Estate Web Creation clients at the same time. With Calgary also being one of the most competitive markets as far as real estate SEO is concerned, it’s been an uphill battle from the start. Nevertheless, John has continued to stay patient and since beginning work on his website, he’s gone from just 49 weekly visitors back in the first week of April 2015 to just under 2,000 weekly visitors more recently. In addition, we’ve also seen his organic lead volume increase by over 800% during this same time frame and we’re still seeing continued growth each year and every year to date.

CHICAGO IL

Seventy7 Group

When Nick Nastos of the Seventy7 Group first started investing in SEO back in 2013, his business was unique in that his team’s primary focus was on downtown Chicago’s robust apartment market. An aggressive, on-going SEO strategy designed to specifically target renters in the city allowed us to see substantial increases in organic traffic and leads; however because the apartment market in Chicago is exceptionally seasonal, his traffic began to spike in the spring and summer and drop-off during the fall and winter months. Fast forward to today, however, and the Seventy7 Group’s organic traffic has stabilized and they’re now a top-producing team in both sales and rentals thanks to a continued investment in SEO and content strategy and marketing.

LAS VEGAS NV

The Little Group

When I first started work on The Little Group’s website back in 2015 it was still very much in the early development stage and seeing very little organic traffic and leads. In fact, it wasn’t producing any organic leads whatsoever at that time. The first steps we took involved fine-tuning much of the website’s on-page SEO and re-working the entire site architecture. From there we began to target key areas of interest, leverage his website’s IDX data, and began rolling out a stronger content development strategy to help maximize visibility in search results and strengthen the website’s overall authority. After plenty of hard work and also a little patience we more than tripled his website’s weekly organic traffic volume and also started generating quality organic leads for many of the key areas in his market.

CENTRAL FL

Josh Gorsuch

Josh Gorsuch of Living Central Florida is a wonderful example of how you don’t necessarily need a substantial budget to realize success in SEO, as long as you’re patient, persistent, and have the right strategy in place for both your needs and your market. I initially started working with Josh back 2020 and back then his domain and his website were both brand new and had no search engine authority whatsoever; so it’s been a steep uphill climb from the start. But thanks to a consistent monthly investment, progress has been slow yet steady, and in mid-2023, we finally reached the 1,000 monthly organic users milestone.

NASHVILLE TN

Holt Real Estate Group

Nashville has one of the hottest housing markets in the country right now, so working on the Holt Preferred website has been especially fun. When we first started work it was clear the website needed quite a bit of fine-tuning, both structurally and in terms of basic on-page SEO. The first order of business was getting many of the website’s existing pages re-tooled to better satisfy basic optimization guidelines, and more recently the focus has shifted towards steadily expanding the Holt Real Estate Group brand beyond the city of Nashville and into the surrounding suburbs. Over the years we’ve seen organic traffic and lead volume continue to climb and much of this success is due to an aggressive SEO and content development approach that we’re still implementing today.
