Blogging is important to any business. For real estate, it’s essential. Blogging showcases you as the local real estate specialist. SEO (search engine optimization) has changed. Google is obsessed with staying the search engine of choice. It’s determined to do this by returning the most relative results to the searcher when they perform a query (type in a search term). The more Google learns the behavior of the user, the more likely it is to return a valuable result in the SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages).
When someone visits your website, and they are logged into Google (which most people are now), a history begins. Google learns their behavior. It stores information on how they search, what terms they use, what websites they visit and begins to learn the person. Now, they can interpret intent.
The person searches for ‘real estate’. Google knows their geographic location and returns local results. However, if that person has been browsing websites in London recently and has spent time looking at weather, and population, and jobs etc., Google may believe that person was searching for real estate in London even though they never type in the word London. Google has learned their behavior and begins to assume what they meant based on history.

The more times a visitor lands on your site for local or specialty information, the more likely Google is to relate you to that locality and/or specialty where it comes to that specific visitor. Now when that person searches a term like “house values”, you will probably be moved up in the rankings for that person, shown over you competition, because Google already sees a valuable relationship between you and that visitor.
In addition, each time someone visits, you have the ability to make offers (free downloads, newsletters, homes to browse, school schedules) etc. and begin building your local database. Lists like this can be very powerful as long as you focus on value pieces to give them instead of spam.
