How Does realestate.com.au Dominate Google Search Results?

I want to show you one of the secrets to realestate.com.au’s success here in Australia. If you go across to the US and look at some of the big real estate sites there or the UK or Canada or whatever, you’ll find it’s all the same. Why do these guys dominate the internet? It’s not just because they spend a bucket load of money on advertising their business and they do TV commercials and have an app and all this sort of stuff, there’s one reason that any real estate agent can duplicate that allows them to dominate the internet when it comes to dealing with real estate and I’m going to show you how it works.

What you want to do is go to Google and type in the command site: (sitecolon – no space) and then the web address, so webaddress.com.au and you push enter. Notice I didn’t put the http:// at the front of the web address. I don’t think you need to do that.

Make sure that when you enter realestate.com.au that you don’t miss the .au like so many people do.

Now, in looking at the results, you’ll notice there are about 15 million 700 thousand results. What you’re seeing here is a list of every page on their website that is currently visible in the Google search index. If you scroll down to the bottom you can click through to page 10 and go down to page 14 of the search results and so on. You guys know how this works, you’ve been there, done that.

This is the reason they are mega successful. Because they have a page for, at least one page on their website for just about every single location in the country. If we want to look at the Miami property market in Queensland let’s just open that page, and they’ve got a page about Miami, Queensland 4220, the post code obviously, talking a little bit about Miami. They’ve got a map of Miami using Google Maps. They talk about the property prices in Miami, supply and demand, demographic information, latest listings, etc.

This is one of the main reasons why they totally dominate the search engines – because they have content for just about every conceivable search term you might want to think about when it comes to real estate. Now, you might remember in an earlier video in week one we were talking about Youtility. One of the things I talk about there was the idea of almost having a crystal ball – how do you even figure out what people’s questions are before they ask those questions and I’m going to show you in market research how to do that. This demonstrates that they’re going through and they’re saying, “Okay, it is 24,000 zillion towns, cities and suburbs in Australia and we need to have a page for every single one of them.

Now, you don’t need to duplicate it to that extent. You are working at a much smaller local level, but you need to have … Let’s say you’re working in one suburb and I’ll use the northern Perth suburb of Duncraig as an example here in Perth. I have a client, Keith Barrot, who is a real estate agent up there.

Duncraig is one suburb and there’s about 15,000 people who live there. What we want on Keith’s website is as many pages as possible that discuss anything to do with Duncraig, particularly real estate related but also the living in Duncraig, the attractions, the best restaurants, where to find the local doctor, where to find the local physio. All this kind of information that people go to Google and search for.

By having 50 or 100 or 200 or 300 pages on your site drilling down, providing massive amounts of information about your local market you can dominate in a local space in the same way that realestate.com.au dominates nationally because they have so many pages on their website.

Try the site: test with your competition, go and check out, see how many pages they have on their site. Most real estate sites I see don’t have many pages, and that’s one of the reasons they don’t win with this technique.

I’ve just typed in realestate.com.au’s competitor there, domain.com.au. Same sort of scenario, they have mega, mega numbers of pages.

That is one of the little secrets to success on the internet and it’s so easy to duplicate at a local level. That’s why I say becoming an authority agent is all about dominating the conversation online at a local level, which realestate.com.au is never going to do, certainly not anytime soon. They don’t live there, they don’t have people in that suburb writing content. They could do it but they probably won’t bother with it. You are the local expert and you need to be producing a ton of content over the next 6-12 months to allow you to dominate the market.

Okay, I hope you found that little trick helpful. Remember it’s site colon, and then the full domain name. Make sure you don’t forget to put the .au on there if it’s a .au domain.

  1. Hi, Cool site. What do you think of the real estate market these past few months? recon that we will find the real property market go up over the future couple of months? I don’t know what influence the rest of the economy will have on mortgage loan interest rates. We may be in for a few reasonable years going forward.

    1. Hi there Chung. The market has been “interesting” this last year, not just the last few months. Will it go up or down in the near future? That’s anyone’s guess at this stage. But purely from a interest rates point of view, it’s never been a better time to buy a house. Shame the actual prices are so high though.
