\"\"<\/a>Everyone has preferences, and if you never had even one instance where you liked one choice more than another others might think there\u2019s something wrong with you. People tend to be even more adamant about their preferences when they\u2019re related to purchases, and there\u2019s a lot of their hard-earned money going into those purchases. A home is always going to be one of the biggest purchases a person will make in their lives, so they\u2019re going to have preferences with that in a big way. The location of that home will usually be one of the forefront preferences, and that\u2019s true for prospective homebuyers in Calgary and so location-based marketing for realtors in Calgary is a smart focus.<\/p>\n

This is something of a newer focus with Calgary real estate marketing, and its explicitly tied to the meteoric rise of digital marketing and the way that homeowners are able to tailor their property searches more exactly via the Internet. If, for example, someone prefers to buy a home in Stoney Trail they can put their focus on homes there quite quickly and entirely and won\u2019t be seeing search results for homes elsewhere in the city. The reasons that would-be homebuyers have location preferences are the obvious ones, and can range from working nearby to wanting their children to be in certain school catchment districts to already having family there.<\/p>\n

The key term there is search results, and having you<\/strong> be visible in those search results as a Calgary realtor who specializes in the area and is very much a local expert is central to having success with Calgary real estate SEO. Having your real estate agent website SEO optimized to the best extent possible is going to be a core part of having success with location-based real estate marketing here. When you are focusing on being regarded as that neighbourhood expert that is largely accomplished by having keywords incorporated into your site that identify that neighbourhood specifically.<\/p>\n

This will promote you getting a greater number of leads, and for some realtors that will add to the ones they\u2019ve collected from a paid real estate leads service like ours very nicely. This is the way to go, as you do want to be trying to get new clients from every angle possible and focusing on one specific part of the city can be one way you approach this differently from your competitors. So with this week\u2019s entry we\u2019re going to dig deeper on location-based marketing for realtors in Calgary.<\/p>\n

Property Pinpointing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Having data from mobile device users\u2019 current or past locations is collected to display relevant content to them is the functional explanation of how location-based marketing is effective. Let\u2019s imagine a local realtor who has come across a local homeowner as a lead and the man is nuts about golf as many guys in Calgary are. The realtor will be evaluating the best way to convince that person to list with him as the listing agent. If he searches \u2018driving range near me\u2019 he\u2019s going to get a SERP that is tailored to him based on his current location.<\/p>\n

Location-based marketing is also referred to as geo-targeting marketing, geolocation marketing, proximity-based marketing and hyperlocal marketing.<\/p>\n

This location data is primarily utilized through what\u2019s called through geo-fencing or geo-targeting, and the effectiveness of location-based marketing for Calgary realtors can\u2019t be overstated. A report that indicated that 9 in 10 marketers who put efforts into location-based advertising start to generate higher sales over time backs up that assertion. Location-based real estate marketing also works to make their customer relationships that much more solid.<\/p>\n

Marketers who incorporate location-based advertising into their marketing strategy also understand customer needs to a greater extent. This allows them to cater to those needs and boost customer engagement. It\u2019s important to understand that more and more people are conducting all or nearly all of their web searches with the smartphone as compared to a larger device. This makes sense how we are all more often using our phones for web access rather than a seated option, and who doesn\u2019t make those ubiquitous \u2018near me\u2019 searches themselves too.<\/p>\n

5 Approaches to Location-Based Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Realtors who are doing well with this approach to lead generation will be using these 5 main types of location-based digital marketing approaches most of the time, and so we\u2019re going to point them out for you here so that you can start doing the same. Collectively they will allow you to reach a greater audience of people who may be buying or selling a home in the near future.<\/p>\n

IP Address Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IP address marketing for real estate is the simplest place to get started with this. Every computer or device connected to the Internet has an IP (internet protocol) address. IP address marketing lets you use that location information to target your marketing, and when people who are in neighbourhoods with homeowners you\u2019ve worked with before and search for real estate subjects the chances your real estate website and profile will be coming up in their search results pages.<\/p>\n

GPS Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

GPS marketing is also good and entirely doable for any realtor in Calgary or elsewhere in Canada. All modern mobile device uses GPS location technology and it will identify a user location based on their distance from a network of satellites with global positioning. GPS marketing makes it so that you can target promotions based on this location information. When it\u2019s done correctly potential clients who just happen to be in the area and taking interest because of an open house may be presented with your material.<\/p>\n

Geofencing Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In comparison geo-fencing marketing is not so simple or straightforward for anyone who\u2019s new to Calgary real estate SEO. It involves setting up a virtual location or radius so that you can market to people within that area. This is an effective variant of proximity marketing. You are targeting consumers within range of a geofence that\u2019s set up based on one of your previous advertising campaigns.<\/p>\n

Beacon Advertising<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Picture a lighthouse shining out onto the sea of prospective clients who may become leads and hopefully buy or sell a home through you. This is a conceptual way of looking at beacon advertising for real estate. Here you use physical devices called beacons on the premises of a business to communicate marketing efforts to people who are inside the reach of that beacon.<\/p>\n

Blueprints Location-Based Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Blueprints location-based marketing is the last of the five approaches we\u2019re highlighting here. It\u2019s not as primary an approach as the other ones but it is a form of geolocation marketing that is surprisingly sophisticated. Blueprints create geographical boundaries around points of interest and locations. The technology is paired with location and behaviour data so that realtors can fine-tune their receiving audience targeting for even better results and more leads for real estate.<\/p>\n

Go Forth and Conquer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s always going to be a competitive space when you are working as a real estate agent in Canada. It\u2019s standard to have to put in many years of day-in, day-out hustle before you really start earning a comfortable living. It\u2019s competitive, but no one is going to have a rapier in a scabbard on their belt and ready to use it. We\u2019re talking about location-based real estate marketing here, and geo-conquesting is another variant of it that we need to talk about.<\/p>\n

Location-based marketing is used to reach people who are nearby and entice them to the locations you\u2019d like them to visit. The aim is to pull these would-be buyers or sellers entirely into your own sphere of influence. Audience targeting lets you market to people based on location, online and offline behaviour, demographics, and interests, and it\u2019s something that can really benefit you once you get good with it.<\/p>\n

Location targeting is proven to help businesses increase in-store visits because they can use some of the previously-mentioned technologies to target ads to customers who have shown themselves to be within range of the business and likely living in that part of the city. And so geo-conquesting can be used for real estate too. Focus on visitation, audience, and trade area data, marketers to create real estate ad campaigns that are built around the specific search behaviours that local residents are engaging in when looking at real estate online.<\/p>\n

One exception example for that might be if a mobile device user has a VPN permanently reporting a different location to the actual one, that can impact the user\u2019s location data accuracy. Without accurate location data, the targeting may be inaccurate, and your campaign efforts will not have the same level of desirable results – in this case providing you will quality real estate leads. The good news is that is an obstacle that\u2019s relatively easy to avoid once you increasingly know what you\u2019re doing and you are tailoring your geo-conquesting the right way.<\/p>\n
