No matter what your budget is, you can display a bespoke advert linked to your property on Google search results and their advertising network. You can easily connect with potential buyers who are searching terms that you think are most relevant to your property. The more targeted the search term, the lower the cost.
Google advertising for consumers is called AdWords, adverts you create for your property appears alongside or above results on Google search results pages. Ads can also appear on the relevant websites and products in the Google network.
SEO (search engine optimisation) is both your best friend and your worst enemy. Essentially the idea is to please the Google Gods. You have to make the search engine happy and, in return, your property advert will appear higher up the search listings (tip: you are aiming for that glorious number 1 spot).
To make Google happy you need to do a few things:
- Utilise keywords
- Keywords are important words or phrases that are incredibly relevant to what you are trying to achieve
- For a property advert, some important words you will need to include are things like ‘property’ or ‘for sale’.
- The biggest danger is over-using these keywords, you want to get the balance just right. You need to make sure that there is an even spread of keywords across the advert, but not too many or it may seem a little spammy and may begin to not make sense.
- Keep it relevant
- Make sure that your advert is highly relevant to your property. By including keywords and staying away from irrelevant content, Google will know exactly what your advert is all about, and will subsequently link it to future searches with similar relevancy.
- Link
- Google loves a link, and by this, we mean that when one article links both externally and internally to other articles. This further shows how relevant your article is, especially if the linked articles are similar to your own.
All of the above will help you to ensure that your google property ad gets as many views as possible!
