Custom Real Estate Websites

Remove yourself from the crowd. Many markets require a professional sophistication that can only be achieved with a custom design that your target audience remembers easily and favorably.

Web Design for Realtors who Want the Best

By their very nature, custom websites are unique, each having individual design and functionality requirements. Based on consultations and interviews between you and our design staff, your custom design will begin to take shape. Mockups will be sent for your approval and, if you approve, put into motion. In most cases, you can expect your project's completion as soon as two (2) weeks after the initial consultation with your designer.

SEO for Real Estate Websites

If you’re not found, you’re not seen

Charleston Interactive has long been recognized as a premier SEO Company, pioneering numerous SEO techniques in strict compliance with the search engines’ codes of practice guidelines. Our track record speaks for itself. While others pontificate, we produce.

Be the Authority

Search engines really want to list the true authorities at the top of their search results pages, and we've developed proprietary techniques to ensure they recognize your commitment to being authoritative in your marketplace. If you're a recognized local authority, or if you have the desire and work ethic to become one, we will do what it takes to make sure the search engines are properly informed about you.

SEO is a many-faceted discipline that includes, but is not limited to, advanced programming, unique and compelling content, directory submission, blogging, press releases, article submissions and other activities in keeping with the status of a known authority. The inherent competitiveness of a given marketplace will dictate the scope and cost of an effective SEO strategy.

Copywriting

..for the User and for the Search Engines

Copywriting is one of the vital parts of a real estate website. Your visitors are looking for information about real estate in your area, and we want them to find it on your site. But it's not enough to create the most useful real estate site in the universe, if no-one will even know it's there.

Our writers have a uniquely strong background in SEO - we know how to rank pages as well as we know how to write them.

Writing for Search Engine Rankings

Keyword Inclusion - Quantity

We maintain an optimal proportion of keywords in the various elements of your pages. It used to be common in the SEO industry to pack hidden keywords into web pages — but fortunately for consumers, the search engines ignore these tactics, now. Today's informed SEO's avoid overloading the text with repetitive keywords, maintaining a classy austerity that still brings Google to your page.

At Charleston Interactive, we've perfected the art of organic keyword inclusion, enhanced by controlled placement of the search terms that will allow you to rank above your competitors.

Keyword Inclusion - Latent Semantic Indexing

The search engines are getting much better at finding real information, but they'll miss your pages (however useful) if you haven't properly identified them in a way that the search engines understand. It's not enough to slap a keyword into any old page of text — your copy must really be about real estate.

Latent semantic indexing means that search engines can see whether your content is really about what you say it is. They are aware, for instance, that a page about real estate is likely to include related terms, like "properties", "agent", and "homes". So we've made it standard in the writing department to write with this in mind.

Keyword Inclusion - Proximity and Priority

Another formula for ranking involves the positioning of keywords. It's important to include them in every possible element of the page — ideally, the title, headings, and paragraphs will all contain the keywords.

There are also complicated rules for their relative positioning. Keywords can indicate relevance through a controlled proximity to other terms, and they should obey the search engines' laws of super-positioning.

This is a simplification of onpage SEO, but it should indicate some of the depth of our involvement with each client's copy.

Area-specific Marketing Copy

You must be recognized as an authority in your area, so you can't just slap your name into a pre-written marketing module.

Agents whose sites actually discuss their geographical region are much more likely to convert their leads, and that's why we press our clients for details about their area and its real estate market. Whatever you can communicate about real estate in your area of service, we can transcribe onto your website in a clean and professional format.

Our copy also fosters a healthy real estate environment, by:

  • Promoting enthusiasm for real estate investment and activity
  • Encouraging readers to employ a realtor's assistance
  • Promoting your region, especially with regard to lifestyle and return on investment

We know what we're doing — so please, let us go to work for you.
