Making A Home On Google

One of the most competitive industries is the building and real estate space. Yet, that reality didn’t stop Start from building a nice home on Google for Move Homes.

When we were approached by the new home builders, very few people could find them on Google if they weren’t searching ‘Move Homes’ directly. Our approach to their optimisation was a strategic spray-all with an emphasis on creating a prominent presence on a suburb-specific level while we gradually knocked off their competitors one by one for the big sales, big-ticket keywords such as “new home builders Perth”.

Optimisation Overview

Without question, one of the most competitive spaces is the real estate industry. Big businesses with rich histories and large budgets oftentimes make it extremely difficult for others to pull off power plays when it comes to rankings. When we were approached by the new home builders, very few people could find them on Google if they weren’t searching ‘Move Homes’ directly. Our approach to their optimisation was a strategic spray-all with an emphasis on creating a prominent presence on a suburb-specific level while we gradually knocked off their competitors one by one for the big sales, big-ticket keywords such as “new home builders Perth”.
