7 Content Types Realtors Should Publish for Long-Term SEO

Trending ideas that win fast leads

Speed matters with trending content. Keep a simple template on hand:

• Headline that says what changed

• Two to three bullets on what it means for buyers or sellers

• A clear next step with a link to book a call

Use it for:

• Rate moves that shift affordability

• Builder incentives that change monthly

• Local policy changes such as homestead exemptions

• Seasonal trends like school year timing or winter inventory dips

To turn that attention into appointments, pair posts with the steps in How to Build a Seller Funnel.

Where to publish and how to structure

1. Your website blog
   Make each article a single topic with a clear headline and a first paragraph that states the value. If you want a brush up on copy that grabs attention, read Why Homepage Headlines Matter More Than You Think in Real Estate.

2. Your neighborhood pages
   Add evergreen sections for history, schools, amenities, and a short FAQ. To increase engagement, consider the ideas in Interactive Maps on Realtor Sites.

3. Your Google Business Profile
   Post short updates that match your trending pieces. This helps with local visibility. If you need more traction in the map pack, see Local SEO for Real Estate Agents.

4. Short video
   Record a one minute summary for each post and embed it. Video keeps visitors on the page longer and can improve conversions.

How to pick topics that match search intent

Use this three step filter:

• Volume and value
  Choose topics that show up in keyword tools and also match client questions you hear weekly.

• Local angle
  Add local terms such as your city, county, or neighborhood names. Include schools, commute times, and landmarks.

• Lead intent
  Ask what the reader is ready to do after reading. If the answer is nothing, tighten the content until the next step is obvious.

Internal linking that lifts rankings

Link from trending to evergreen and from evergreen to your service pages. A simple pattern works well:

• Trending update on interest rates links to your buyer closing cost guide

• Neighborhood guide links to your moving checklist and buyer guide

• Seller guide links to your pricing strategy post and your listing consultation page

Add links to two or three related posts only. Keep anchor text natural. If design is part of your brand message, the color choices in Color in Realtor Websites: What Converts Best can help readers focus on the next step.

Posting cadence that fits a busy agent

Here is a practical month you can keep up with:

• Week 1: Evergreen seller timeline

• Week 2: Trending rate update with a short explainer

• Week 3: Evergreen neighborhood guide part one

• Week 4: Evergreen neighborhood guide part two, plus a 200 word market note if needed

Each piece should include a clear call to action and a short FAQ. Reuse sections across formats to save time.

If organization is a challenge, pick one system from this list of the Top 5 Best CRMs for Realtors and attach tasks to each stage of your content pipeline.

Turn one good idea into seven assets

One article can create a full week of publishing.

• Blog post on the site

• Two short videos, one vertical and one horizontal

• Three social snippets that quote the key points

• One Google Business Profile update

• One email to your list with a quick summary

Paste the same points into your listing presentation where relevant. Great content should work online and in person.

On page checklist for every post

• Write a clear H1 that matches the search intent

• Use short paragraphs and scannable subheads

• Include one original chart or visual if possible

• Add one internal link to a related evergreen post

• Add one internal link to a related trending post when you have one

• Place one visible call to action above the fold and one at the end

• Compress images and add descriptive alt text

• Test the page on mobile

For layout and hero sections that load fast and convert, review the ideas in Best Website Layout for Realtors.

Measure what matters and improve monthly

Track these simple metrics:

• Organic sessions to each post

• Click through rate from Google Search Console

• Time on page and scroll depth

• Form fills and call clicks from that post

• Email signups from content upgrades

Retire or merge posts that never get traction. Expand winners with an FAQ, a short video, and a content upgrade.

Error proof your workflow

Common mistakes and simple fixes:

• Publishing only when news hits
  Fix it by scheduling evergreen first, then layering timely notes.

• Writing long posts without a next step
  Fix it with a single call to action that invites a consult or home value request.

• Creating many small updates on social and none on your site
  Fix it by posting to your site first, then sharing the link.

• Forgetting follow up
  Fix it by connecting your forms to your CRM and using a short drip, which you can build with ideas from our Automated Follow-Up for Realtors.

Putting the mix into action this week

• Choose two evergreen topics from this list: seller timeline, pricing strategy, neighborhood guide, buyer closing costs

• Write one trending update that answers a question you heard this week

• Add a strong call to action and a one question lead form to each post

• Publish to your Google Business Profile and send a short email summary to your list
