The problem
Tired of SEO agencies that don't understand Palmerston North?
Rankings, but no calls
Many agencies chase national blog traffic. Real Estate Agents in Palmerston North need people close by searching "property appraisal", not readers from the other end of the country.
Losing "near me" searches
Trade Me Property, realestate.co.nz and OneRoof own most listing searches, so agencies must win appraisal and agency-name searches.
Messy listings and schema
Different addresses or phone numbers on Google, Trade Me Property and old directories confuse Google and push your real estate agency down the map in Milson.
Rising cost per lead
Buyers expect licensed agents, and missing licence details hurt trust. Paying per click for every Palmerston North lead gets expensive fast.
How we work
How we do local SEO for real estate agents.
Google Business Profile optimisation
Google ranks map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We fix your real estate agency's profile so it is eligible to rank across Palmerston North.
- Primary category set to “Real estate agency”, with tested secondary categories
- Name, address and phone made identical everywhere
- Duplicate or unclaimed listings found and merged
- Services, photos and weekly posts aimed at Kelvin Grove and Fitzherbert

If Google sees conflicting details, it drops the listing from the 3-pack rather than risk showing wrong information.
