Want More Home Builder Leads? It Starts with Your Website

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST HAVE A WEBSITE!

Don’t think of your website as a brochure; think of it as a virtual sales rep capable of generating massive amounts of leads and sales for your firm, often at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing and advertising. With that being said, how easy is it for potential customers who aren’t familiar with your brand to find your architect/home builder website?

statistic: to get more home builder leads, have a good home builder website: 75% of people judge your company based on your website

Think of where your customers spend their time on the internet. Sure, many of them are using search engines to find your new home services when they need them, but there’s definitely more to the story. At the highest level, Internet marketing success is a real estate game. Your goal should be to cost-effectively build, develop, and maintain as much real estate as you need to establish yourself as the authority in your industry.

IMPROVE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE RANKINGS WITH SEO & CONTENT MARKETING

To rank well organically, you must establish and promote your home design firm as THE authority for what you do, in the markets you do it. Ranking well on Google, Bing, and Yahoo! requires three things:

  1. Your website must be coded in a way that makes it easy for the search engines’ software to find, crawl, and categorize. At Blue Corona, our web team specializes in designing websites and landing pages that are not only visually appealing, but also are highly optimized for search engines—allowing your design/build firm to get more traffic, leads, and sales from the web.
  2. You must create web page after web page of unique, relevant, and remarkable content. Our content marketing team has extensive experience writing online content (including blogs, landing pages, press releases, email newsletters, ebooks, and more!) for remodeling and design/build companies—so you won’t have to write a thing (unless you want to!).
  3. You must promote your site to other relevant and authoritative websites and get them to link to, reference, and cite you as an authority. Unlike other SEO companies, you’ll never have to worry about us building shady links that will get you penalized by Google!

PEOPLE ARE FINDING US THROUGH GENERIC SEARCHES, WHICH WAS THE GOAL INSTEAD OF HAVING TO RELY ON PEOPLE KNOWING WHO WE WERE TO FIND OUR SITE. THE OVERALL WEB TRAFFIC INCREASE TO OUR SITE HAS BEEN REMARKABLE.”

-Bryan Deege, Vice President, Sekas Homes

MAXIMIZE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE REAL ESTATE WITH LOCAL SEARCH OPTIMIZATION

Did you know that nearly half of total Google search queries have local intent? In addition to improving your organic search engine listings with SEO services, if you’re a local architect or design/build firm, it’s also vital that you optimize for Google’s local listings. These seven local listings often appear before the organic listings, leading to better click-through-rates for your company from potential customers.

As an award-winning SEO company, we understand that the more listings you have on the first page of search results—including local listings, organic listings, and paid listings—the better. Our local SEO services will increase your architect or design/build firm’s visibility for geographically related searches.

Digital Marketing Services FAQ

What is digital marketing for builders?

What is the actual definition of digital marketing? To break it down, digital marketing for home builders is an umbrella term for all marketing and engagement activities your home building company does online.

We provide a comprehensive set of digital marketing services to home builders and building contractors, including SEO, website design, PPC, social media, email marketing, instant chat services, analytics and tracking, video marketing, and branding.
