Most people have a really good grasp of the fundamentals of the Real Estate industry. Many Americans will own a house at some time in their lives. Even if one never owns a home, they are likely to have considered buying a real estate at one time or another. There are very few milestone purchases like home buying and real estate is often the most scrutinized.
As such, many consumers have a strong understanding of the elements that are considered most important to real estate value: 1. Location 2. Foundation 3. Structure
Foundation: Most folks understand that a house is built from the foundation up. If the foundation isn't solid, everything else can be compromised. The same is true of your SEO initiative, see: Austin SEO. A solid foundation is crucial to long-term success. And in SEO, keyword research is your foundation. Everything you do must be built upon it. Without an analysis of customer search behavior and the competitive landscape of the industry, an SEO program will lack the insight needed to get off the ground. Just like a house with a weak foundation.
Structure: While the foundation lays the building blocks of a solid property, it achieves little on its own. How many people do you know that live on a concrete slab? The value of the foundation is that it provides the base upon which a quality structure can be built. And the quality of the structure is ultimately just as important as the foundation in determining property value. As the three little pigs found out, a house made of straw holds no real value.
As we continue our analogy of SEO and real estate, your company website is the online version of a house, and Google is the both the appraiser and city code inspector. As such, Google and the other major search engines, will assess a wide range of checks on your website to determine its value, quality and relevance. Similar to the real estate market, layout and architecture are important components in the calculation of property value. The same is true for level of materials used in construction. From an SEO perspective, material components include things like:
1. Website coding: Best practices coding and structure is essential to enable Google to properly index every line of code on your online property.
2. Digital Content: The golden rule for the Internet, that content is king, is more important than ever. With keyword research and strategy analogous to a home's concrete foundation work, your content should be created in a way that delivers maximum SEO results via body content and other coding elements such as your page and meta titles, text headings, anchor text, etc. For example, if you have a page on your site related to web design, the content and wording on the page should be related to this phrase.
Location, Location, Location: The final variable of the property value equation is the address. External factors will always influence the value of a property. Even luxury properties fail to realize optimal value if they are located in low value neighborhoods. Off-property factors such as crime activity and demographics contribute significantly to real estate valuation.
Likewise, circles of association play a crucial role in Google's assessment of a web site. From an SEO perspective, high quality links will ensure your website has a great location. Search engines analyze the links to each website to determine the quality of the location in which it resides. If your site is connected with link farmers and spammers, you can't expect search engines like Google to attribute much value to your property. You're in the online hood.
Want to prove to Google that you live in a good location? Make sure your link building efforts are focused on the acquisition of quality links.
