So What's SEO in Multi-Family Marketing, Anyway?

When it comes to SEO in multi-family apartment industry, there isn't a magic formula to instantly send your site off to the #1 search result on Google for general search keywords like apartment for rent. But there are some basic principles you should follow for a wonderful starting point.


Here are the top 5 Apartment SEO practices to start with:


#1 Write for your tenants, not for search engines
Always write original, interesting, high quality site content that's error free and relevant to your site.

Search engines like Google can easily detect content that is duplicated from elsewhere online, that contains grammatical errors, or that is stuffed with keywords.


#2 Add a blog to your site and use rich media
To engage your site visitors and residential prospects, create posts that include non-textual media like photos, videos, or original visualizations (infographics). Having that extra content (especially if it's captivating) will increase the time users spend on your site as well as the likelihood they will share your site with their own community.


#3 Offer a positive user experience throughout your site
Google will know if you're using your site to aggressively advertise your apartment rental, or if you're being too pushy. Always aim to offer site visitors a pleasant experience on your site. That means clear content, support when needed, and always an option to go back.


#4 Create a network of internal links (but don't overdo it)

Add links between different pages of your site and your blog. Try to follow a process that's organic rather than heavy linking meant for search engine crawlers. Link between pages that make sense, for example, on your services page, link a certain industry-specific term to a blog post that gives more information on that term.


#5 Always check your site's Core Web Vitals

Core Web Vitals are a site performance standard initially created by Google. The report shows site owners how their site pages perform 'for real,' how long it takes for site visitors to load site pages, and it offers ways to fix issues, if there are any.


#6 Google my business profile is the face of your apartment brand

Use Google My Business to show up in the map pack and local search results. You can use your Google maps profile to share apartment specials, events, and news. You can also use Google Reviews to build trust with prospects. And lastly, You can get in front of prospects searching for apartments on their mobile devices while they are out and about.

I. Introduction: Setting the Stage Let's start at the very beginning. The year was 2017, and Pepsi, an iconic beverage brand was scripting what was to be a legendary Ad. It featured Kendall Jenner, a supermodel and reality TV star, in an attempt to resonate with the millennial audience. They chose the backdrop of a protest, aiming for relevance and connection with the contemporary socio-political landscape. However, the Ad stirred a storm of controversy and backlash that no one saw coming. The uproar was immediate and unforgiving. The Ad was rapidly accused of trivializing the Black Lives Matter movement and exploiting social justice issues for commercial gains. The backlash highlighted the fact that authenticity is critical when tackling sensitive societal issues. And thus, this incident underlined the importance of authenticity, not just in marketing, but in all aspects of communication.
