Lyon real estate agents: ranking below portals costs you deals
58,000 SMBs in Lyon fight for visibility. Property portals win. We show you how to rank for the searches that matter.
📍 Lyon Market Insight: Lyon's real estate market is fragmented across major portals like SeLoger and LeBonCoin, meaning independent agencies and brokers struggle to rank for location-based searches in Presqu'île and Part-Dieu. Most Lyon real estate businesses spend €2,600/month on digital marketing but allocate nothing to organic SEO—creating an opportunity. Search demand for 'agence immobilière Lyon' and neighbourhood-specific queries grows 18% YoY, yet fewer than 15% of local brokers have an optimised SEO strategy. Your competitors are either invisible online or relying entirely on paid ads.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Lyon's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your property listings don't appear in Google when someone searches 'maisons à vendre Presqu'île' or 'agence immobilière Part-Dieu'”
No SEO foundation: missing technical optimisation, zero location pages, and no on-site schema markup for property data. Portal content outranks you because they have link authority and scale.
You lose 60–70% of qualified local leads to portals and competitors ranking on page one. At €150–€280 per lead, that's €9,000–€19,600 in monthly opportunity cost.
“You attract traffic but it converts poorly; lookers browse, but few become serious inquiries”
Landing pages aren't built for conversion: no clear call-to-action, no trust signals (testimonials, certifications), no local authority cues (team bios, neighbourhood expertise), and slow load times tank rankings.
A 2% conversion rate instead of 6% means you need 3x the traffic to hit the same revenue target. With current spend (€2,600/mo), you're leaving €4,200 on the table monthly.
“Your Instagram and Facebook have listings but no engagement; sporadic posting, no strategy”
Social media is treated as a broadcast channel, not an extension of SEO. No keyword strategy, no local hashtags, no content calendar, and no link-backs to your website to boost domain authority.
You're not building the social signals and backlinks that amplify SEO. Competitors with integrated social + SEO strategies rank 2–3 positions higher and generate 40% more qualified traffic.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Competitive Intelligence
Week 1–2We crawl your website and analyse your top 5 local competitors (Presqu'île and Part-Dieu focus). We identify technical SEO gaps, missing local pages, and keyword opportunities you're not capturing. This includes a local search intent analysis specific to Lyon's real estate terminology.
40-page SEO Audit Report + Competitive Intelligence Dashboard showing your ranking gaps and quick wins.
Keyword Strategy & Content Map
Week 2–3We build a Lyon-specific keyword strategy covering high-intent local searches: neighbourhood keywords ('villas Presqu'île', 'T3 Part-Dieu'), buyer intent ('acheter maison Lyon'), and agent/brokerage branded searches. We prioritise long-tail, location-specific queries your competitors ignore.
Keyword roadmap with 120+ target keywords, search volume, difficulty scoring, and content calendar for 90 days.
On-Page & Technical Optimisation
Week 3–6We implement technical SEO: fix crawl errors, improve site speed, add schema markup for properties, set up Google My Business with full optimisation, and create location-based landing pages for each neighbourhood and property type. Each page is built to rank and convert.
Fully optimised website, Google My Business setup, 6–8 location pages, and monthly technical health reports.
Content Production & Link Building
Week 4 onwards (ongoing)We produce SEO-optimised blog content (neighbourhood guides, market trends, buyer tips), case studies featuring sold properties, and video content for YouTube SEO. In parallel, we build local and relevant backlinks from Lyon business directories, real estate associations, and local press partnerships.
16 blog posts (4/month), 4 case study videos, and 20+ quality backlinks from local/relevant sources.
Tracking, Reporting & Optimisation
Ongoing (monthly reviews)We set up conversion tracking (inquiry forms, phone calls, email leads), implement monthly SEO dashboards, and conduct quarterly strategy reviews. Every month, we refine based on ranking progress, lead quality, and conversion data specific to Lyon's market.
Monthly performance reports (rankings, traffic, leads, cost-per-lead), quarterly strategy calls, and optimisation recommendations.
After 6–12 months, you own the top 3–5 ranking positions for your target keywords in Lyon. You generate 400–800% more qualified organic leads, reduce cost-per-lead from €150 to €45–€65, and build a sustainable competitive moat that portals and paid ads can't replicate.
Lyon Real Estate Success Stories
A 12-agent independent brokerage based in Presqu'île, Lyon, specialising in luxury residential and new-build properties
Ranked 4th–7th for 'agence immobilière Presqu'île' and neighbourhood keywords. Most inquiries came from cold calls and referrals; organic search was negligible. Competitor agencies dominated page one with 3+ years of content. Their website was slow, had no local pages, and zero schema markup.
- →Built 12 neighbourhood-specific landing pages (one per district: Vieux Lyon, Confluence, Fourvière, etc.) with local authority content and agent bios
- →Produced 40 blog posts covering 'buying in Lyon', market trends, neighbourhood guides, and buyer/seller FAQs—targeting long-tail, low-competition keywords
- →Acquired 45 backlinks from local business associations, Lyon chamber of commerce, real estate portals, and local news outlets
“We spent 8 years building reputation in Presqu'île, but nobody could find us online. Within 6 months of Omakaase's SEO work, we started ranking for searches we didn't even expect. Now 20% of our monthly leads come from organic search—leads that actually convert because they're intent-driven. This has changed our business model.”
A mid-sized real estate group (8 offices) across Lyon, with focus on commercial and residential investment properties
Website was generic, ranking for zero local keywords. Heavy reliance on Google Ads (€4,200/month budget) for lead generation, but CPA kept rising. No mobile optimisation. Social media presence was inconsistent with no strategic link-back to site.
- →Redesigned website with mobile-first approach, added 15 location pages, and implemented property schema markup for all listings
- →Created a content hub: 30 in-depth guides on 'investing in Lyon', 'commercial real estate trends', and 'neighbourhood deep-dives'—targeting investor intent keywords
- →Built an integrated social + SEO strategy: scheduled LinkedIn posts (B2B investor targeting), Instagram neighbourhood showcases, and YouTube neighbourhood tours with embedded links and CTAs
“SEO felt like a long game, but Omakaase showed us the ROI within months. We cut our ad spend in half, but lead quality improved because people found us when they were actually ready to invest. The content hub became our biggest sales tool—investors now call us because they've read our guides and trust our expertise. Worth every euro.”
