EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Minneapolis real estate is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Minneapolis real estate agents are losing deals to portal-dominant search
Minneapolis's 55,000+ SMBs include over 2,000 real estate professionals competing for the same local searches. Most rely on paid ads or hope for Zillow/Realtor.com traffic. The market gap: zero organic strategy for location-based searches like "North Loop homes for sale" or "Minneapolis condos near Downtown." Agents who own SEO in their neighborhoods capture 3–4x more qualified leads than those waiting for portal referrals.
The 3 places Minneapolis real estate brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 real estate brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Team was generating 6–8 organic leads monthly despite a strong reputation. Most buyer inquiries came from paid ads or direct referrals. They ranked on page 2–3 for neighborhood searches and were losing deals to larger, better-optimized competitor teams.
Built topical authority with 40+ neighborhood guides, market trend reports, and buyer education content optimized for North Loop, Downtown, and surrounding areas

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
In 6–9 months, you rank on page one for 15+ location-based keywords in your Minneapolis neighborhoods. You're capturing 25–40 qualified leads per month from organic search—leads that are actively searching for what you sell, not warming up on a portal. Your cost-per-lead drops 50%+ and your brand owns local search in your market.
Competitive SEO Audit
We map your Minneapolis market: who ranks for your neighborhoods (Downtown, North Loop, suburbs), what keywords drive real estate search traffic, and where you're losing to portals and local competitors. We identify your quick wins—rankings you're 1–3 positions away from capturing.
Keyword & Content Strategy
We build a 12-month content calendar targeting high-intent searches: "Minneapolis homes for sale by neighborhood," "North Loop real estate market," "investment properties in Minneapolis." Every piece is designed to rank and convert—not just educate.
On-Page & Technical Optimization
We optimize your site architecture, metadata, and page structure for Google. We claim and fully optimize your Google Business Profile for each neighborhood you serve, ensuring you show up in the local pack.
Content Publishing & Authority Building
We publish optimized neighborhood guides, market trend reports, and buyer/seller education pieces. We build topical authority by linking internally and earning backlinks from Minneapolis real estate publications and community sites.
Monitoring, Reporting & Optimization
We track rankings, organic traffic, and lead source attribution. Monthly reports show which neighborhoods are ranking, which keywords are driving calls, and where we're adjusting strategy. You see exactly how SEO drives revenue.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

|---|---|---|

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”

“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before I see results from SEO?
You'll see indexing and crawling improvements within 2–4 weeks. Small ranking improvements and organic traffic uptick within 6–8 weeks. Page-one rankings for your top keywords typically arrive in 4–9 months, depending on competition and keyword difficulty. We track everything monthly so you see progress, not promises.
Will SEO work for a solo agent or small team?
Yes. In fact, solo agents and small teams often see faster ROI than large brokerages because you're competing for longer-tail, neighborhood-specific keywords ("North Loop homes sold" vs. "Minnesota real estate"). You have less competition and higher intent from searchers. We've done this successfully with 1–3 agent teams.
How does this compare to paying for listings on property portals?
Portal ads are pay-to-play and disappear when you stop paying. SEO is a compounding asset—rankings improve over time and you own them. A $2,000/month portal spend becomes a sunk cost. A $2,000/month SEO investment becomes 25–40 organic leads per month that never stop arriving. Within 12 months, your ROI on SEO typically exceeds portal spend by 2–3x.
What if I'm already working with another marketing agency?
We can integrate with your existing efforts or take over SEO entirely—your choice. If you have a designer or paid ad manager you like, we collaborate. We focus on the organic channel and make sure your investment in other channels complements your SEO (not cannibalizes it).
Do you work with individual agents or teams only?
Both. We work with solo agents, small teams (3–10 agents), and larger brokerages. The strategy scales. A solo agent might focus on 2–3 neighborhoods; a team might own 5–8. The process is the same; the scope changes.
