When it comes to SEO for apartments and multifamily, these four metrics are crucial for ensuring that your property's website appears at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs) when potential tenants are searching for apartments in your area. When users search for something on Google or other search engines, an algorithm decides which pages to display in the search results. These algorithms are complex and consider many different factors to rank the pages. However, search engines rely on these main metrics to assess a site's quality and determine its ranking in search results.
1. Content
Google search ranking factor is moving towards content and authority. Search engines analyze a webpage's content to determine its relevance to a given search query. A large part of SEO is in creating content that is targeted towards the user persona and the keywords that search engines' users are searching for.
2. Links
Links from other websites are important to some extent in determining the ranking of a site in Google and other search engines. The reason is, a link can be seen as a vote of confidence from other websites. Websites that receive natural links from numerous other websites can enhance their authority in the eyes of search engines through a mechanism known as "PageRank," particularly when the linking websites are authoritative. This type of link acquisition is a "white hat" technique. Internal links are as important as external links as it helps users and search engines find pages within your site and can help to increase rankings to other pages within the website.
3. Page structure and On-Page Optimization
Another critical element of SEO is page structure. Webpages are written in HTML and can have a significant impact on a search engine's ability to evaluate a page. It depends on how the HTML code is structured and how it can impact a search engine’s ability to evaluate a page. Including relevant title tags, meta description tags, header tags, image alt tags, using nofollow links when linking out to poor domain authority websites, link and anchor text tags, canonical tags, URL structure, using structured data/schema markup, and making sure that a site is crawlable are actions that site owners can take to improve the SEO of their site. On-Page optimization includes optimizing your website's content, structure, and HTML tags to make it easier for search engines to crawl and understand. For example, using descriptive title tags and meta descriptions can help search engines understand what your pages are about and improve click-through rates.
4. Local SEO
Local SEO involves optimizing your Google Business Profile, this involves making sure that your website is optimized for local search terms and that your business is listed accurately on local directories and review sites. It's also important to include local keywords in your website's content, such as the name of your city, neighborhood, or nearby landmarks. ensuring your address and contact information is consistent across all directories and listings, and creating local content on your website that includes relevant keywords and location-specific information.
