What exactly is “content”?

Content is anything you’ve developed to provide information to a buyer or seller. Every listing description, tweet, blog post, listing photo, video, Facebook post, listing presentation, agent profile, and much more can be considered content.

What is “content marketing”?
Content marketing is the use of any content piece to help you reach specific marketing goals. For example:

  • Awareness. Being top of mind with short and long term prospective buyers/sellers.
  • Calls to action IE: requests for more listing information, saved searches, contact forms & more (lead capture)
  • Retention of previous clients through follow up.
  • Acquisition of testimonials
