Real Estate SEO for Agencies, Buyers Agents and Advisors
Portals own the listings. We rank you for the searches where people choose an agent: appraisals, suburb experts and buyers agents in your area.
What Our Search Research Shows
Numbers from our own studies of Australian Google results and business websites.
What Is Real Estate SEO?
Real estate SEO gets your agency or buyers agency found on Google when people search for an agent, an appraisal or property advice in your suburbs.
Portals rank for listings. Your site should rank for the people choosing who to hire.
How Property Clients Search for an Agent
Property searches split in two, and only one of them hires you.
- 01
They Browse Portals
realestate.com.au averaged 12.7 million visitors a month in FY26. That’s where listings live.
- 02
They Search to Hire
“Buyers agent Brisbane”, “property appraisal Paddington” or “best real estate agent Newtown”.
- 03
They Check Maps and Reviews
The map pack and review profiles decide who looks credible before anyone clicks through.
- 04
They Read Your Site
Suburb pages, results and fee information turn a visit into an appraisal request or a call.
What Actually Moves Rankings for Real Estate Businesses
Suburb Pages With Substance
One page per suburb you work, with your results there, local market notes and the agent who covers it. Pages that only swap the suburb name rarely hold rankings.
Google Business Profile
Top 3 Maps listings in our study had a median of 66 reviews against 31 below them. We set up a review request after every settlement.
Agent Profile Pages
Each agent or advisor gets a page with licence details, suburbs, results and reviews. Clients hire people, and Google looks for real expertise.
Vendor and Buyer Pages
Separate pages for owners wanting an appraisal and buyers wanting representation, each aimed at its own searches and its own next step.
Citations Beyond Portals
Consistent details on Google, RateMyAgent, REBAA and the directories your clients check. RateMyAgent ties every review to a property transaction.
Listing Pages Under Control
Listing feeds can create many short-lived pages. We decide what Google indexes, so expired listings don’t dilute the pages that win clients.
Suburb Content Google Rewards
Rankings in property come from content only a local expert could write. We build it with your agents, so it reads like them and ranks for your suburbs.
Your Sold and Bought Results
Recent sales or purchases by suburb, written up as short case notes. It’s proof for clients and fresh, original content for Google.
Named Market Updates
Regular suburb updates written with your agents or advisors, on author pages that show licence details and reviews.
Answers to Pre-Hire Questions
Pages that answer what clients ask before they sign, such as how buyers agent fees work or what happens at an appraisal.
Meet the People Behind Your Rankings
One team runs your audit, writes your suburb pages, builds your citations and reports on enquiries from search. Lakshane Fonseka leads our search research.

Portal Profile vs Your Own Website

- Strong for listings
Your Own Website
- Ranks for your name, suburbs and services
- Every enquiry comes straight to you
- Builds an asset you own
- Feeds Google Maps and AI answers
You need both. The portal sells the property. Your website sells you.

We came to Uprise Digital at the start of the year. We’re a large residential construction company and our pipeline had really started to shrink. We were only halfway through our insurance limit and our architect pipeline had basically dried up so we knew we needed to find the right marketing partner and fast.
From the first conversation Lakshane sat down with us and actually explained the strategy. Rather than just throwing us into a direct funnel they took a value first approach to the marketing which made a lot of sense for our industry. They did proper market research put together all our brochures landing pages ad scripts and basically built the entire strategy from the ground up including all the backend and technical side of things.
Working with Ben, Hayley and the rest of the team has been seamless honestly. Within a day of going live we were already getting 5 to 6 inquiries a day which was above the benchmarks the Uprise team had even set for us.
We’re working toward 8 figure sales goals so there was real money on the line here. But from the strategy right through to the video production team the whole experience has been awesome. Super happy with where things are heading and already seeing the results on the ground.

We’ve been working with Uprise for a little over a month now and already what a huge difference it’s made having the right people on the job! From the get go Lakshane understood what we needed and Ben on the fortnightly meetings has been a huge help in educating us along the way and ensuring we’re on track to achieving our targets. They even built my business a custom landing page, making my Google ads even more effective. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Was a bit hesitant after getting ghosted by another agency but these guys have been unreal for my demo business. The biggest difference is they actually stay in touch and care about getting you wins. Ben, Lakshane and the team don’t just set stuff up and disappear – they’re always checking in, fixing problems straight away and looking at ways to improve things.
Only a few weeks in and I’ve already locked in 2 house demos with a builder, got heaps of other quotes out there too. Leads have been solid and yeah some jobs are 4-12 weeks away but thats just how it goes in this game, at least Im building up work.
Theyve sorted everything from the Meta ads to retargeting and when I had issues with emails going to promotions or targeting the wrong areas they fixed it immediately. What makes Uprise different – if they dont hear from me they message me first, not the other way around.
This is just the start and keen to see where it goes. Would definitely recommend if you want an agency that actually cares.

Working with Uprise has been a refreshing change from our past experiences with marketing agencies. From the beginning, the team took the time to understand our products, target audience, and what actually drives enquiries in our industry. That level of attention made all the difference.
They’ve helped refine our advertising strategy and improve our content across multiple platforms, leading to a clear increase in both leads and engagement. Communication is consistent, transparent, and genuinely collaborative – something we hadn’t experienced before.
We’ve been with Uprise since around February, and the results speak for themselves. It’s great to finally work with a team that delivers on what they promise and brings real value to our business. Highly recommend.

SEO for Property Consultants Questions, Answered
For listing searches it’s rarely worth the fight. Searches for an agent, an appraisal or a buyers agent in your suburb are where your own site can win, and those searchers are choosing who to hire.
Yes. Buyers agents target searches like “buyers agent Melbourne” and investor questions, and need to explain fees and independence. Selling agencies target appraisal and suburb searches and lead with results.
Most businesses see measurable improvement in rankings and traffic within 3 to 6 months. We report monthly, so you can see the trend from the start.
Yes, when each one has something only you could write, such as your results there, local market notes and the agent who covers it. Pages that only swap the suburb name tend to get ignored.
Keep the useful ones as sold results, which are strong proof, and stop thin or duplicate listing pages from being indexed. We set rules for your listing feed so it helps your rankings.
No. Google weighs hundreds of factors, so no one can promise a ranking. We report on rankings, traffic and enquiries every month instead.
