Best Realtor® resources for your NEW ClickSold Website

So you’ve just finished setting up your first ClickSold website and wonder what else you can do with it? Here are some resources to reap the benefits of your ClickSold site.

Plugins

Contact Form 7

Have you always wanted a contact form on your site that you want potential home buyers or home sellers contact you with? Contact Form 7 is a fully customizable contact form plug-in that allows just that! Best paired up with the Configure SMTP plug-in to configure your SMTP settings or send through Gmail.

WP Super Cache

WP Super Cache is a static caching plug-in that generates HTML. This helps your site load faster as it stores a light memory in your browser. After an HTML file is generated on your ClickSold site the webserver will override the HTML file rather than processing the heavier and bandwidth costing WordPress PHP Scripts.

Visual Composer

This is probably our favorite plug-in yet, If you’re a visual person who has to edit some content on your ClickSold site, this plug-in enables you to edit your content in place.

Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO is the most complete WordPress Search Engine Optimization plugin that exists today for WordPress.org users. It incorporates everything from a Google search preview and in-page analysis that helps you optimize your pages content, images titles, meta descriptions and submit XML sitemaps. It helps you to write better content with the built-in content analysis function, and easily optimize your site’s titles and descriptions for Google.

Themes

I’m not sure how you can’t be happy with our theme selection but just in case here are some sites where you can purchase more themes.

Why WordPress is the Best Platform for Realtors

Ability to customize.
ClickSold offers ready made website themes that are plug and play – you just choose your theme and off you go. You have the option to add a custom header and change the colour scheme as you wish. However, you’re not just stuck with just the themes we offer – if you find a particular theme that you really like but just want to make one or two tweaks, you absolutely can.

If you’re the visionary type, we can help make your dream site a reality. We offer completely custom website design packages. Check out some of these awesome custom sites here:

You own it. There are many website providers for Realtors that make you build on their own proprietary software platform. The problem with this is that you don’t really own your website. You can’t take it with you. You can’t customize it to reflect your brand. What happens to your website if that company goes out of business? When you build your site using WordPress you own it, can upgrade it, personalize it, and take it with you.

Trusted by millions Worldwide. WordPress is one of the most easily used blogging platforms by new users. There isn’t much coding is required-if any. It boasts an intuitive content management system that anyone can learn to use. In fact, I taught myself how to use WordPress. Even technological dinosaurs can put new content on their website regularly without hassle. WordPress is a full blown content management system that makes it easy to add or update content to your website at any time, from anywhere. Add listings, post to your blog, edit the content on a page, you’re able to do it all. You don’t need a webmaster to make your updates. Best of all, our team at ClickSold includes a complete tutorial over the phone to make sure you’re comfortable using the WordPress backend.

Search Engine Optimization. WordPress is optimized for search engines out of the box. From day 1 to ranking number 1, your website will include all of the necessary components that Google and other search engines need to find and index your listings and web pages. As you probably already know, getting your website indexed by search engines like Google will lead to a steady stream of leads for years to come. If your site isn’t optimized for search engines (and most real estate websites aren’t), then you’re missing out on receiving genuine leads from interested buyers. Soon, you’ll notice that your blog starts getting more traffic, and more and more people are visiting your site.

Beat the bots. Post your listing before it hits the MLS and beat the bots to page 1, number 1. Don’t let scraper Real Estate websites steal your listing’s leads. With the help of ClickSold and WordPress, we’ll help your listing get to the top where it belongs.

Title Tags : SEO Best Practices

A title tag or title element define the title of a page and is required for all HTML/XHTML Docs.

Sample:

<head>

</head>

A title tag is the main descriptor for your page and will appear in several different locations, including:

Browser title bar and tab header
Screenshot of the top left of a Safari window
Search engine results (only the first 70 characters will show here)
Screenshot of a Google.com result
External websites (will use the page title as link)
Screenshot of a bookmarks list

Your title tag is meant to be an accurate description of your page content and will contribute to page relevancy in search engine optimization.

Why hasn’t Google indexed my site?

A website that ranks well in Google can generate tens of thousands of dollars every month, and be a valuable asset that a REALTOR® can sell to anyone. Here are the most common reasons why your website isn’t ranking:

1. Your Domain Name is Wrong

This is simple because there is only one right way to have a domain name: buy it and point it at your website. If you’re:

using domain masking, or
using domain re-writing, or
using a sub-domain

THEN YOUR WEBSITE WILL NEVER RANK. Sorry.

2. Your Website Sucks

Unlike domain names, there are many “right” ways of building websites that rank well in Google. Chances are that if:

you use WordPress, and
you have unique content, and
you have the right meta tags, and
you update your website frequently

then your website will probably rank sometime soon. Unfortunately, if:

you don’t use WordPress
you don’t have unique content
you haven’t updated it in the last month

then your website probably sucks and won’t ever rank.

3. You Have no Backlinks

Have you ever wondered how Google finds new websites? Here’s a link to their main patent that explains everything: Method for node ranking in a linked database.

The bottom line is that you need links from pages already ranking in Google’s index to your website before your website will rank itself.

How do I get backlinks?

Ask in our forum and I’ll tell you.

That’s it folks. I’ve seen and built several websites that rank well and generate lots of revenue within months. It’s not rocket science, but does require a little more than absolutely no effort.
