How apartment marketing and SEO from Cardinal keeps your units leased
We build comprehensive digital strategies that make sure your listings and rental company websites are optimized to show up across the digital channels your prospects use to find apartments. This includes search engine optimization (SEO), paid advertising, and website optimization, all of it executed by apartment marketing experts.
SEO for Apartments
In the apartment rental industry, recurring revenue is the name of the game. After working with the country’s leading real estate and apartment rental companies, we’ve found that optimizing your sites and apartment listings for search engines is an effective way to do so.
Cardinal’s strategic approach to search engine optimization will grow your website’s search rankings for targeted keywords and markets. Whenever your leases hit the market, we make sure they’re seen. We also focus on conversion optimization, which means we don’t just work to drive traffic to your site, but to convert that traffic into contacts, bookings, and tours.
Paid Search Advertising
Another effective way to drive traffic through your apartment listings and rental sites is through paid search. Using Google AdWords and other paid search programs, we can place ads for both your company and specific listings that you’d like to highlight.
With bid prices starting as low as only a few dollars per click, paid search can often be a very cost-effective way to drive leads immediately, especially for those units that you really need to get leased soon. Our ad strategy includes conversion optimization, custom landing pages if needed, as well as engaging graphical ads. We can also use geo-modifiers to control who sees your PPC ads—based on location—in order to most cost effectively manage your budget.
Social Media Advertising
Love them or hate them, social media platforms represent a large and powerful channel for digital advertising. And believe it or not, more and more people are coming across listings for apartments and real estate on social media.
With the help of our award-winning social media management team, you can tap into the power of social media through engaging and timely ads on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and even Instagram. Our team can set your ads up to target users based on location, age, interests, and more to make sure you get the most return for your spend.
Apartment Rental Website Design
Your website is an essential part of your rental company’s online presence. Not only do potential customers find your website content and specific listings in channels like search engines and social media, but they make snap judgements based on design and professionalism. After all, they’re looking for their next home! Our talented team of website designers can dial in your rental websites so they’re clean, engaging, and optimized for maximum findability on the internet.
Reputation Management
People searching for their next apartment tend to be very picky. One of the first things people tend to look at when deciding which rental companies to contact and which listings to tour is online reputation. What do the reviews and comments look like? Our team will help you make sure that the digital presence for your apartment rental company, including listings and reviews on popular channels like Google and Yelp, are on point.
