Who Sets The Professional Real Estate Web Design Bar?

Who sets the bar for what constitutes an effective and successful professional real estate web design? What makes a certain real estate web design a market leader? The answer to both questions is your market and Google.

Google is the main search engine used in the US. Google takes many areas of a professional web design and a real estate website into account in ranking its search results. This allows website owners and web designers some control in that Google makes clear what it considers good practices for search engine optimization. However, one of the items Google takes into account is web traffic and inbound links.

Your market creates the web traffic. Web traffic is definitely directed towards your website by the search engines, especially when it ranks on the first page of search results. However, traffic coming directly to your website due to people hearing of it on the radio, on printed marketing material or word of mouth helps improve both your sales lead generation and your Google ranking.

Google tries to mimic the market’s decision of what is a desired website along with its mission to deliver content matter that matches search terms. The easiest way to see who is setting the bar in your market is to type your keywords and key phrases into the three major search engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN and check who are the top ranking websites. Measuring what those websites have shows you where the market has set the bar in your particular market for professional web designs or the top real estate websites.
