Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

For competitive local search terms, expect meaningful movement within 3–6 months and significant results within 6–12 months. Google Business Profile improvements often show faster results — sometimes within weeks. The timeline depends heavily on your current starting point, competition in your area, and how quickly we can get technical foundations in place.
Rightmove gets you in front of buyers who are already searching for properties. SEO gets you in front of sellers and landlords who are searching for agents — a completely different and often more valuable audience. Agencies that dominate local search attract instructions, not just enquiries. These aren't competing channels; they serve different parts of your funnel.
For estate agents, Google Business Profile is often the highest-ROI SEO investment — it directly drives map pack visibility and phone calls. But GBP and website SEO reinforce each other: a well-optimised website boosts GBP authority, and a strong GBP supports organic rankings. We work on both simultaneously.
Yes — and the best time to start is before the development goes on sale. Pre-launch content (area guides, planning news, development announcements) builds organic visibility in time for launch. We also structure development pages with schema markup that helps AI assistants surface them in relevant property searches.
We build a dedicated landing page for every area you serve — not generic duplicates, but genuinely useful pages with local market data, sold prices, area guides, and specific service information. Each page is canonicalised correctly to avoid duplication issues, and we create a hub-and-spoke internal link structure so Google understands your geographic coverage.
For estate agents: LocalBusiness (with geo-coordinates and service area), Review/AggregateRating, FAQPage for common questions, and RealEstateListing for property pages. For developers: PropertyListing schema, alongside Organization and Product schema. These structured data types help both Google and AI assistants understand and cite your business correctly.
AI assistants (Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity) are increasingly answering property questions directly — recommending agents by name without requiring users to click through to Google results. Agencies that appear in these AI responses get brand exposure at zero cost-per-click. We optimise specifically for AI citation, which requires different signals than traditional SEO.
Yes — lettings agencies, property management companies, HMO specialists, and build-to-rent operators all have distinct SEO needs. Landlord-facing keywords are often less competitive than buyer-facing terms, but require specific content strategies. We tailor the approach to your specific audience — whether that's private landlords, institutional investors, or local authorities.
Our property SEO audit covers: technical health (Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, schema), GBP optimisation score, local citation audit, competitor gap analysis, keyword opportunity mapping across buyer/seller/investor funnels, content quality assessment, backlink profile review, and an AI visibility check across Gemini, ChatGPT and Perplexity. You receive a prioritised action plan with effort/impact scores.
Absolutely. Sales and lettings serve completely different search audiences with different intent, keywords, and content needs. We build separate optimised landing page structures for each — including area-specific pages for both. Many agents make the mistake of combining them, which dilutes relevance for both audiences. We keep them strategically separate while maintaining a coherent site architecture.
