Real estate Google search rankings are a lot like pursuing stardom. Sure, you can sit around hoping you get “discovered,” but those who succeed the most are almost always those who put in the work. Getting “found” and “preferred” more often by Google requires intentional effort. And in today’s episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana goes deep into the weeds with 9 Google Business Profile “cheat codes” designed to improve your real estate Google search ranking. A word of warning: The advice in this episode gets a little complex at times, but if it wasn’t worthwhile, we wouldn’t be talking about it. So if you have marketing support, a web developer you work with, or an IT person on your team, you’ll probably want to ask them to watch this with you. And then when you implement what you learned, you can watch your Google search rankings soar!

A real estate team is like a scientific chemistry experiment. You’re combining a bunch of different elements to try to create a beautiful result. But sometimes the chemicals might react in a way you didn’t expect and explode.   When this happens, your survival depends on the precautions you set in place, and that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience. I have two awesome real estate team leaders Daniel Dixon and Meredith Fogle, who have been through quite a few implosions and explosions themselves – some of them intentional.   If you’re running a real estate team, this one is for you, especially if you haven’t experienced an implosion yet.

In a low inventory market, getting the listing appointment can be almost as challenging as closing the deal.

And on this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, they’ll show you the scripts that are working for getting the listing appointment in a super competitive environment.   A low inventory market shouldn’t stop you – it doesn’t stop them. So watch or listen right here to learn what getting the listing appointment is all about.
