Local ranking fundamentals for real estate agents

Local search is not magic. Google is weighing what you do, where you do it, and whether the market seems to trust you.

Relevance

Google needs to understand what you do. Categories, services, description, website copy, and content all shape relevance.

Proximity

You cannot fully control where a searcher is, but you can clarify the markets you serve and make your service area consistent.

Prominence

Reviews, citations, links, brand searches, content, and third party mentions help Google understand that your business is real and trusted.

Prominence

Prominence grows through reviews, backlinks, citations, brand searches, profile activity, and proof that people engage with the business. It is the hardest signal to force and the easiest signal to neglect.
