Survey of Palo Alto & Naples Real Estate Agents – Search Engine Marketing

-


At the beginning of January, Direct Placement Internet Marketing Advisor Isaac Hegenbarth conducted a survey of real estate agents in Naples, Florida and Palo Alto, California. Both are prosperous real estate locations in the housing market. According to Zillow.com, Palo Alto is an especially hot real estate market. Zillow reports that Palo Alto’s median home value has increased 21% in the last year, resulting in the current $3,010,700 value. The questions asked in this survey were created in an attempt to assess how useful real estate agents in prosperous markets find Search Engine Marketing. In this survey, Isaac asked agents three questions: 1) Have you ever used Google to find a product or service online that you ended up purchasing? 2) Do you believe that people will shop more online in the future for products and services than ever before? and 3) As a real estate agent, which search engine do you think would make the most sense to spend your money marketing on?

Out of the 100 agents surveyed in those areas, 84.78% reported having used Google to find and purchase a product or service online. This percentage correlated with the 85.87% of people who speculated that people would shop more online than ever before. However, while 11.96% of agents surveyed said they had not used Google to find a product or service online, 3.26% did not believe more people would shop online than ever before. It is also notable that 3.26% of the agents were unsure if they had personally used Google to find a good or service online and 10.87% were unsure if people would do more shopping online in the future than ever before. This suggests that, while a percentage of real estate agents may not be personally using Google to find services and products online, they could potentially see people shopping more online in the future or are unsure of SEM’s value.

For the third question in this survey, 69.57% of agents reported that they would spend money marketing on Google. Five of the agents that selected Google also selected a secondary option which has been incorporated into the survey results as well. Four of these double answers were for Google/Facebook and one was for Google/Yahoo. Facebook was the third most popular answer with 10.87% of the real estate agents selecting it. The second most popular answer given by 16.30% of the agents was ‘none,’ as in they did not think it would make sense to spend any money on SEM. The remaining agents answered as following: 2.17% for Yahoo, 2.17% Zillow.com, 1.09% Realtor.com, 1.09% unsure, 1.09% paper ads, and 1.09% for an unknown website.

Although the second most popular answer for the third question was none, over 80% of the agents surveyed answered in favor of SEM for goods and services as a whole. Based on these results, it is clear that the majority of real estate agents agree that marketing on Google is useful for anyone offering a good or service, including real estate.

  The Benefits Of Direct Placement® For Photographers & Videographers The photography and videography industries lie at a bit of a crossroads as we move into a new year and a new era. Though temporarily stifled by the pandemic, both industries are expected to bounce back and see significant growth moving forward. According to the U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics, growth in these industries are projected to be well above the average for all occupations . That being said, the trends for these industries do have some variables that are worth noting. The biggest being the rise of quality cameras on mobile phones. This has made high-quality images and videos highly accessible to the common person. For example, the iPhone 13 has features that were previously unavailable on mobile devices, such as depth of field and increased low light performance. This trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Another thing to consider for these industries is that the barrier to entry has basically been re

The Benefits of Direct Placement® On Google For Vacation Rentals It’s no secret that historic losses amidst the pandemic in 2020 affected the entire vacation rental industry, and travel economics as a whole. Despite this setback, industry experts expect a bounce back to pre-covid numbers, which we have already seen coming to fruition. Nationwide there are millions of vacation rentals accounting for billions in revenue for the industry.
