Our Services

Marketing services for estate agents

Strategic marketing that helps estate agents win more instructions and grow market share — from local SEO and Google Business Profile to targeted PPC and area-specific content.

Our Process

How we grow estate agency businesses

A four-stage process built around the way vendors and landlords search for and choose an agent — from local audit to sustained instruction growth.

01

Local Market Audit

We begin with a detailed audit of your local search presence — Google Business Profile completeness, current rankings for area-specific and property-type keywords, review profile, and competitor visibility. This tells us exactly where your agency is losing vendor instructions to competitors.

02

Vendor Acquisition Strategy

We build a strategy focused on winning instructions, not just attracting buyers. This includes local SEO to dominate searches like 'estate agent [area]', targeted PPC campaigns aimed at vendors and landlords, and content that positions your agency as the undisputed local expert.

03

Implementation

Our team handles Google Business Profile optimisation, local citation building, on-page SEO for area and property-type pages, and Google Ads or Microsoft Ads setup. We also implement property schema markup to improve how your listings appear in search results.

04

Review & Scale

Estate agent marketing compounds over time as your review count grows and local authority builds. Monthly reporting covers map pack rankings, organic traffic, enquiry volume by channel, and cost per lead. We continuously refine targeting to reduce cost per valuation and grow market share.

Industry Expertise

We understand the challenges estate agents face

Estate agency marketing is fundamentally local. When a homeowner decides to sell, they search for agents serving their postcode — and the agency that appears first, has the strongest reviews, and looks most credible wins the instruction. Most digital marketing agencies treat estate agents like any other local business. We do not.

Our team understands property portal dynamics, vendor search behaviour, the importance of area-specific content, and how Google Business Profile signals influence map pack rankings. We have helped agents across the UK reduce their dependence on Rightmove and Zoopla by building a direct-enquiry channel through owned digital marketing. Here are the core challenges we help estate agents overcome:

  • Competition from online agents
  • Winning vendor instructions
  • Standing out in local markets
  • Demonstrating local expertise
  • Managing portal dependency
  • Building brand awareness

Common Questions

Estate agent marketing questions answered

Straight answers to the questions we hear most from estate agents considering a new marketing partner.

How do you help estate agents win more vendor instructions?

Winning instructions requires visibility at the precise moment vendors are considering a move. We focus on local SEO to dominate searches like 'estate agents in [area]' and 'sell my house [town]', combined with targeted PPC campaigns that reach vendors actively researching agents. We also help you build the review profile and content authority that make your agency the credible local choice when a vendor compares options.

Can you help us reduce our dependence on Rightmove and Zoopla?

Portal dependency is one of the biggest challenges facing independent estate agents. While portals remain important for buyer and tenant reach, the key is ensuring your own website drives a meaningful share of direct vendor and landlord enquiries. We build that owned channel through local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, area guide content, and PPC — so your marketing does not rely entirely on portals you do not control.

How quickly can estate agent SEO produce results?

Local SEO for estate agents typically produces measurable ranking improvements within 2–3 months, with meaningful increases in enquiry volume following at the 3–5 month mark. Google Business Profile optimisation often produces quicker wins, particularly for map pack visibility. PPC can deliver immediate enquiry volume while organic authority builds. Timeline depends on the competitiveness of your local market and how established your existing digital presence is.

Do you work with lettings agents as well as sales agents?

Yes — we work with sales agencies, lettings agencies, and dual agencies. The targeting strategy differs: lettings agents typically focus on landlord acquisition keywords and seasonal demand cycles, while sales agents prioritise vendor instruction searches. We build channel strategies appropriate to your business mix and help you grow both revenue streams if that is your goal.

What does estate agent PPC typically cost and what returns can I expect?

PPC costs for estate agents vary significantly by location — London and major city markets have higher cost-per-click than regional or rural markets. We typically see cost-per-valuation-enquiry in the range of £80–£180 depending on location and competition. For lettings, cost per landlord enquiry can be lower. We provide realistic projections based on your specific local market before any budget is committed.
