  1. Write about life, not listings
  2. Use real photos and real numbers
  3. Link it to your profile

Sellers hire the agent who looks like they already know the area. A neighbourhood guide on your website does that job around the clock.

Write about life, not listings

Cover schools, commute times, the Saturday market, the park everyone walks dogs in. Search engines match these pages to people who are weighing a move.

Use real photos and real numbers

Median days on market and price ranges for the last six months, with the source named, build trust faster than adjectives.

Point the guide to your Google Business Profile and ask recent clients for reviews that mention the neighbourhood.
