Why SEO is hard here

Listing sites own availability searches

Big commercial listing platforms take most 'for lease' results.

Few searches, high value

Volumes are small, but one tenant or investor can be worth a lot.

Expertise stays in reports

Market reports locked in PDFs don't rank or get found.

A commercial real estate SEO playbook

Commercial real estate is a small-search, high-value market. Business owners looking for space, investors studying a market and owners choosing a broker all research online first. CRE SEO means publishing the expertise that usually stays in pitch decks and reports.

A page for each property type and service

Office, industrial, retail, tenant representation, investment sales: each is searched separately. A page for each, with your experience and approach, gives each search somewhere to land.

Turn reports into pages

Market reports in PDFs are rarely found. A page with the key findings, charts described in text and a link to the full report ranks, gets cited and earns links from the business press.

Explain leases and fees

Business owners leasing for the first time search for lease types, fees and what to negotiate. Clear guides bring them to a broker who explains things well.

Earn links from the business community

Business journals, economic development groups and chambers of commerce link to firms that publish useful market data. Sojig finds the pages that link to other firms and drafts outreach.

Measuring CRE SEO

Count enquiries and mandates by landing page. Volumes will be small; what matters is the value of each one.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Search volumes are low. Is SEO worth it?

Yes, because each searcher is valuable. A few well-ranked pages on leasing, fees and your specialties can bring enquiries worth more than a year of SEO.

Can it publish our market reports?

It drafts a page from your report's key findings, with figures marked for checking, and links to the full report.

Do we need listings on our own site?

They help visitors, but listing platforms usually rank for availability searches. Service, market and guide pages are where your own site can win.

Should we write about national trends?

Only with your own angle on your market. National commentary is everywhere, but local data and experience are rare.
