92,000 Amsterdam businesses. 8 out of 10 lose deals to poor web presence.
Your website is your strongest sales tool. We build sites that convert Amsterdam property seekers into qualified leads—without relying on portals.
📍 Amsterdam Market Insight: Amsterdam's real estate market is hyper-competitive and hyperlocal. Property portals like Funda and Immoweb dominate search visibility, leaving independent agents and smaller brokers invisible to buyers actively searching. Most Amsterdam real estate websites are portfolios, not sales machines—no clear value proposition, no location-based SEO strategy, no conversion path. The businesses winning now have websites that rank for local searches ('huizen te koop in de Grachtengordel'), tell a compelling story, and turn visitors into qualified leads within minutes.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Amsterdam's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're on Funda and Immoweb, but your own website gets almost no traffic.”
Property portals rank higher than your site for local searches because they have better domain authority. You have no SEO strategy targeting neighbourhood-specific keywords ('huizen Zuidas', 'kantoor Grachtengordel'). Your website is a portfolio, not a search engine—Google doesn't know what problems you solve.
You lose 60–70% of potential leads to agents who rank first locally. Each missed deal costs €8,000–€50,000 in lost commissions annually.
“You post on Instagram and LinkedIn, but engagement is flat. Followers don't convert.”
Your social content is property listings—the same content as portals. No storytelling. No reason for followers to choose you. You're not connecting your social presence to your website, so clicks lead nowhere strategically.
You spend 5–8 hours weekly on social media with near-zero lead generation. That's €12,000–€19,000 in lost productivity annually, with no ROI.
“When prospects visit your website, they don't know what to do next. No clear next step.”
Your website lacks conversion infrastructure: no value prop above the fold, no lead magnet, no clear call-to-action, no trust signals. Visitors bounce because the site answers 'what do you sell' but not 'why should I trust you' or 'how do I get started.'
Even quality traffic converts at 0.3–0.6%. A visitor worth €150 becomes €0.45. You need 10× the traffic to hit your targets.
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 & Market Position
Week 1–2We analyse your current website, audit your competitors in Amsterdam, and map where you stand. We identify the neighbourhood keywords you should own ('woningen Amsterdam Zuid', 'luxe appartementen Grachtengordel') and the conversion gaps preventing leads. This is your competitive reality check.
25-page audit report with competitor analysis, keyword roadmap, and conversion baseline.
Strategy & Messaging
Week 3–4We define your unique positioning—not 'we sell houses,' but the outcome you deliver ('we help busy expats find their Amsterdam home in 3 weeks' or 'we close investment deals 25% faster'). We craft a messaging hierarchy, value props, and lead magnet. Everything is grounded in your ideal client and the market reality.
Brand positioning document, messaging framework, lead magnet strategy, and wireframes.
Design & Build
Week 5–10We design and build your high-conversion website. Every page is optimised to move visitors down the funnel: homepage with clear value prop, neighbourhood/product pages with SEO-rich content, about page that builds trust, and conversion pages with clear CTAs. Mobile-first. Fast. Built for both search engines and humans.
Fully built, tested website on your domain, mobile-responsive, conversion-optimised.
SEO & Local Authority
Week 11–12We implement on-page SEO, structured data markup, and local schema (so Google knows you serve Amsterdam's key neighbourhoods). We optimise your Google Business Profile. We build a content roadmap for the next 6 months—blog posts, neighbourhood guides, market insights—all targeting the keywords your ideal clients search.
SEO implementation checklist, GBP optimisation, content calendar for 6 months.
Launch & Monitoring
Week 12–14We launch your site, monitor initial performance, and refine based on real user data. We set up conversion tracking, heat mapping, and analytics so you know exactly which pages, CTAs, and visitor segments generate leads. You get a monthly performance dashboard showing traffic, conversions, and ROI.
Live site, analytics setup, conversion tracking, first monthly performance report.
In 90 days, you have a website ranking for local real estate searches, converting 3–5× more visitors into qualified leads, and building your brand authority independently of property portals. You own your client relationships and your market position.
Amsterdam Real Estate Success Stories
An Amsterdam-based independent real estate broker specialising in luxury apartments in the Grachtengordel and Canal Belt.
Strong reputation, but zero online visibility. Lost deals to larger, better-ranked competitors. Website was a basic portfolio—no conversion path, no local SEO, no content strategy. Google didn't know they served luxury segments.
- →Built SEO-rich content around 'luxury apartments Amsterdam,' 'Grachtengordel luxury homes,' and 'expat-friendly neighbourhoods,' targeting high-intent searches with lower competition than portals.
- →Redesigned site with neighbourhood-specific landing pages, trust signals (client testimonials, transaction volume, years in market), and a lead magnet ('Complete Guide to Buying in Amsterdam's Oldest Neighbourhoods').
- →Optimised Google Business Profile with regular posts, high-quality images, and location tags; launched monthly 'neighbourhood insights' content on LinkedIn and Instagram, linking back to site.
“We didn't think we could compete with the big brokers online. This site proved us wrong. We're now getting inbound inquiries every week from serious buyers, and many mention finding us through Google. The neighbourhood guides are gold—they show we know our market better than anyone.”
A mid-sized Amsterdam commercial real estate firm focusing on office and logistics space in Zuidas and surrounding business districts.
Heavy reliance on brokers and direct relationships; almost invisible in search. Website was outdated and clunky. No mobile experience. No conversion mechanism. Losing deals to more digitally mature competitors with stronger web presence.
- →Redesigned for mobile-first experience with fast load times; built an interactive property search tool and filtering system to reduce friction and keep visitors longer.
- →Created SEO content targeting 'office space Amsterdam Zuidas,' 'logistics rent Amsterdam Noord,' and 'commercial real estate Amsterdam,' with guides on market trends, neighbourhood comparisons, and investment ROI calculators.
- →Implemented lead capture via multiple CTAs (schedule a tour, request a market report, ask an agent); set up conversion tracking and lead nurture email sequences for different visitor segments.
“We didn't think a website could be a real sales tool. Turns out it's our best one. The market data and comparisons keep people engaged, and the lead forms are converting at rates we didn't think possible. We've already closed 3 deals that started as web inquiries—and they close faster because they're pre-qualified by the time they call.”
