Hello, Since google search traffic is down since the launch of ChatGPT and other AI chat bots. Curious if to has anyone has heard of anyone in real estate optimizing their websites to funnel traffic from these chat bo...

Unfortunately social media has become a tool that's made it easier for many of these investment companies to get in front of their targets and suspect they invest heavily in SEO services  to get in front of the desired clients (those who lack the sophistication or resources/ability to conduct proper diligence).

We have website, SEO, Billboard, google Ads, Bus seats, covered.If you're not in Self Storage, what RE industry trends are you seeing in your consolidator or Advertising methods?

We upgraded our website at a cost of about $2,000; we initiated a SEO program cost of which is $300 or so monthly, and we initiated an email campaign cost of $275 monthly.  

I’ve even seen investors go from getting a couple organic leads a month to double-digit leads just by locking in on this one phrase.Curious to hear from other wholesalers:Have you ever focused on SEO for one core keyword in your market?

We dominate investor + agent keywords on Google.This is on the paid and SEO side combined too.I saw the data, THOUSANDS of investors every monthsearch keywords like "investor friendly agent" and othersall over the country and we at BiggerPockets show up atthe top every time.I just can't imagine a Real Estate Agent not taking advantage of this.All it takes is a message to me here on BP to learn howto get repeat business like Craig Curelop, and many others have.Just Google Craig's name, he even wrote a book for us.That's how powerful leveraging our platform is.Not only do you get solid buyer clients to work with,it expands your network 100x.Cheers!

Cold calling, door knocking, direct mail, signs, flyers, networking, PPC, SEO, blogging, guest posting.I've bought nearly all of my properties by calling FSBOs.Start with things that are free or nearly free like running Facebook Marketplace ads, calling FSBOs, posting signs, and networking with everyone you meet and see if you get enough leads to keep you busy before delving into the things that take a lot of time (cold calling, door knocking, SEO) or money (direct mail, PPC).

When I was saying marketing directly to home sellers, I didn't mean outbound stuff; I meant inbound marketing (SEO, PPC, etc.) when sellers reach out to you to buy their homes.Would you still prefer wholesalers as a source of deals over motivated sellers themselves coming to you to buy their property?
