Everyone talks about building neighborhood pages…
But why should you focus on making neighborhood pages? Here’s why:
Neighborhood pages basically help every aspect of your lead generation and marketing.
- They can get you more leads from Google.
- They also present you as the neighborhood expert which helps you close a higher percentage of deals.
- And they give you something to show at your listing presentation that your competition simply doesn’t have.
But here’s the problem:
What do you write on these pages?
I’m sure you’ve felt this.
You get super excited about a marketing tactic…
You head over to your computer….
And then your blank screen has a way of killing all ambition and confusing why you even wanted to do this in the first place.
Today that changes:
Here are three formulas to ace your neighborhood pages even if you haven’t written since High School:
The “Kidz-R-Us” Formua
How to make Kid-Centric Pages:
What do parents care the MOST about?
- School ratings
- Things to do
- Safety scores
- Kids activities
Here’s how you build a page that answers those questions using the “Kidz-R-Us” Formula:
Start with video: You start off with a video that highlights the parks and schools. If you don’t want to make a video, try making a slideshow with a program like Magisto. You can also search YouTube for a video. And use one even if you didn’t make it yourself.
Main Community Text: What’s special about living here? Why does this community stand out to you?
Answer these questions for a great Education Section: How many schools are in this area? What are their names? How are their rankings on Great Schools.org? Have they won any statewide awards?
Answer these questions for a great page about Safety: How safe is this community? Have they been mentioned in any articles?
Call to action: Things To Do: What are the top things to do in this area for kids?
The “Kidz-R-Us” formula is really easy to follow! You simply answer those 5 questions I asked you above for each community page. This is the perfect formula for those kid-centeric communities that you want to sell more real estate in.
These pages perform well on Google search results. And are a great way to increases your referrals. The main goal here is to provide couples with children all the information they need to decide if this neighborhood is for them.
You’ll soon come to be known as the real estate expert in these areas.
