Since the launch of our newest service, the Google Business Profile Campaign, we have hit the ground running.
Client after client has experienced high, even explosive success.
This case study focuses on real-life data showcasing the power of our local SEO campaigns.
Explosive Growth Success Stories
The grids below represent local SEO rankings for InboundREM clients. The keywords vary, but stick to the most important keyword cluster:
- realtor
- real estate agent
- realtor near me
- real estate agent near me
- (Insert city) realtor
- (Insert city) real estate agent
As you’ll gradually find out, many of our clients have experienced powerful, sometimes even jaw-dropping success in very short time spans.
Let’s jump straight to the data.
1. Fort Lauderdale, FL
The first example of explosive hyperlocal success I would like to show is from our client in Fort Lauderdale. Their average map rank jumped from 21+ to an average of 1.7.
In other words, they went from being seen once in blue moon to being seen by everyone who did a hyperlocal search for a realtor. Perhaps the craziest part is the time frame. This transformation happened over one month.
Before and After
If you use the slider for the image comparison below, you’ll see the ranking transformation we achieved between April and May of 2024.
2. Aurora, CO
Though at the “longest” time frame of 2 months, our client in Aurora has jumped from oblivion to dominating the Number 1 Rank. The average rank is 1.2. It simply doesn’t get much better than this.
Before and After
If you use the slider for the image comparison below, you’ll see the ranking transformation we achieved between May and June of 2024.
3. Lake Ozark, MO
Our Lake Ozark client hasn’t yet captured the top spot across the board. However, in three short weeks, they went from the second and third pages of results up to the second and third ranks.
Before and After
If you use the slider for the image comparison below, you’ll see the ranking transformation we achieved between April 10 and April 30 of 2024.
4. Hillsborough, CA
While not as miraculous as the above profile performances, our Hillsborough client has also enjoyed wild near-overnight success for their Google Business Profile.
Before and After
If you use the slider for the image comparison below, you’ll see the ranking transformation we achieved between April and June of 2024.
Top-Ranking Google Business Profiles
I think you get the idea. So rather than do a detailed comparison of more client profiles, I’m just going to drop 15 more all-green ranking grids. That means exclusively Top 3 Ranks.
Each one is a different client. All are from April-July of 2024. You can click on them to fact-check the dates and locations.
I have plenty more examples, but 15 seems like a good stopping point before it’s overkill.
These profiles represent a nice mix of urban and more suburban. It also stretches across the continental US.
Top Ranking Profiles for All Local Keywords
Some of our clients have graduated from dominating individual local keywords to ranking at the top for all local keywords with any significant traffic.
Here are two examples from our client pool.
South Pasadena, CA
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the gold standard. It’s a near-perfect sweep of the local SEO keywords for Google Maps and Local Search.
Now, there’s actually still room for improvement because the geographic range can always widen.
Apart from our many behind-the-scenes hacks, these results stem partly from the hacks we publish in How to Create the Perfect Google Business Title for Agents.
Okoboji, IA
To show the South Pasadena results aren’t one-off, here’s another client that dominates local SEO search results.
Full disclosure, this is partly due to less competition compared to other areas.
While it’s not Manhattan, there are still plenty of real estate agents and agencies taking up the subsequent ranks. We’ve just optimized our client’s profile to the point of being uncatchable any time soon.
High Growth Success Stories
Of course, not all of InboundREM’s Google Business Profile clients had explosive overnight success.
Some have had a high degree of success instead. Here are a few examples.
1. Foley, Alabama
As before, use the slider to see the transformation between June and July of 2024. The client jumped from an average map rank of 11.5 to 6.7.
2. West Hollywood, CA
Use the slider to see the transformation between June and July of 2024. The average map rank jumped from 18.9 to 8.8. That’s a full page jump in one month.
As you can imagine, this is not a low-competition area.
3. Bend, OR
Here’s another great example of steady, yet powerful growth.
It’s another testament to how excellent optimization techniques, deep local SEO knowledge, and relative lack of competition (aka other agents targeting this lead generation method) combine to pave a path to exemplary success.
How InboundREM Can Help You
If you follow my content, you know I’m a big fan of transparency.
While the results above have been typical for our clients, there are of course other clients with moderate or even low success so far.
In some cases, their campaigns are too new to get traction. In other cases, they have pre-existing blemishes on their profiles that need to be corrected.
Some have very few reviews and therefore don’t generate the same trust with Google that more established clients have.
None of that changes my resounding claim of 2024: Google Business Profiles and hyperlocal SEO is the most underrated and powerful lead generation technique available to real estate agents.
That’s true across the board and across the country.
It’s low-cost and low-competition, while being high-visibility and high-ROI. The leads are inbound and steady. You don’t need a website to start, although it certainly helps.
And most importantly of all, it’s already working, working, working.
You can follow my deeper dive case study of Bret Wallace, a client who generated $100,000+ in leads during the first 10 weeks of 2024 with InboundREM’s campaign on his GBP.
