01 / Challenge

An individual real estate agent had built a strong referral business but was invisible to non-network sellers in their market. The brokerage-supplied digital presence was generic and didn't differentiate. Sellers researching agents online, increasingly the norm, were finding bigger firms first, despite the agent being the better operator locally.

02 / Approach

We built a personal-brand site with neighborhood-level authority content: market reports per submarket, listing-history showcases, agent-as-source local commentary, schema-rich agent profile, and hyperlocal landing pages for the seven core neighborhoods. The whole system was built to convert a researcher into a listing appointment.

  • Personal Brand Development
  • Hyperlocal Content
  • Local Schema
  • Listing Acquisition Funnel
  • Webflow Build

03 / Results

Within six months the agent ranked first for 38 neighborhood-level seller-intent queries, sourced 14 listings directly from organic, and saw GCI volume grow materially. The site now functions as a 24/7 inbound channel that the rest of the business compounds on.

  • First-position ranking for 38 neighborhood-level queries
  • +220% organic visibility over 6 months
  • 14 listings sourced directly from organic in year 1
  • $8.2M in attributable transaction volume
  • Personal brand now compounds independent of brokerage marketing
I was losing listings I should've won because sellers didn't find me online. That's done now.
