The real estate industry is fast-changing, so your marketing needs to keep up. What’s working today won’t necessarily be what will work in six months. The one constant is that your potential buyers and sellers are now digital-first, whether you’re based in the Costa Blanca or Miami. When it comes to selling or buying properties, sellers and buyers will now scroll online listings first and compare agents’ reputations and reviews online. Therefore, they expect a seamless digital experience when selecting a real estate broker or agency to work with.
The problem? Most real estate agencies are doing the bare minimum online: a few social media posts, a basic website, and maybe an email now and then. That might’ve worked a few years ago, but basic doesn’t cut it anymore in today’s competitive online market.
To thrive today (and to future-proof your real estate agency), you need a modern, data-driven approach to real estate marketing, one that attracts attention, builds trust, and drives results.
Let’s dive into the top digital marketing strategies every real estate agency should master, and how you can outperform your competition with some additional tips and tricks from Caliente Content’s experts.
Top Digital Marketing Tips for Real Estate Agencies
1: Hyper-Local SEO: Dominate Your Region
Most buyers and sellers start their real estate journey on Google with searches like:
“Buy villa in Altea”
“Sell apartment Miami Beach”
“Realtor Costa Blanca, English-speaking”
You’re invisible if your agency isn’t showing up on Google local SERPs.
What To Do:
Optimize your website for local keywords and neighborhoods.
Create content around local market insights, community guides, and property types.
Set up and maintain a strong Google Business Profile with reviews and geo-tagged photos.
Bonus Tip: Add schema markup to your listings to show images, prices, and availability directly in Google’s search results.
2: Content Marketing: Educate to Build Trust
The real estate customer journey is long. Initial awareness could take months, even years. Blogging, video walkthroughs, and guides are powerful ways to stay top-of-mind while building authority. It’s also crucial to remain visible with your existing and past customers, both sellers and buyers, so they call your agency first the next time they’re buying or selling a property.
Content Ideas: Base your content calendar on what will resonate the most in your local market. Review what the competition is putting out and improve upon it, filling gaps that your customers will find useful. Some examples:
“10 Things English Speakers Should Know Before Buying Property in Spain’s Costa Blanca”.
“How to Get the Best Price When Selling a Condo in Miami”.
Add Virtual tours and drone footage of listings.
Why it matters: Helpful, local content keeps people coming back, boosts your SEO, and positions you as the trusted expert.
3: Email Marketing: Nurture, Don’t Spam
A lead who visited your site but isn’t ready to buy or sell yet is still a good lead as long as your email marketing strategy is solid. Use smart email automation (HubSpot) to stay on their radar until they are ready to sell or purchase a property.
Do this:
Segment your email lists into buyers, sellers, investors, and renters.
Send regular property alerts, valuation offers, and local market updates.
Automate follow-ups after someone downloads a guide or fills out a form using HubSpot or a similar email automation system.
Pro Tip: Always include clear CTAs like “Call Us to Schedule a Viewing” or “Contact Us For A Free Valuation.”
Social Media That Sells
Instagram and Facebook aren’t just for pretty pictures; when used correctly, they’re lead generation machines. Use social media to spread your content and position your agency as the subject matter experts in everything related to real estate in your area.
Strategies that work:
Reels and TikToks of property walkthroughs.
Stories with “This or That” polls for interior styles.
Facebook Ads targeting expats, property sellers, or first-time buyers.
Don’t forget localized hashtags and geotags to reach your neighborhood audience.
PPC & Meta Ads: Get Leads Fast
SEO and content take time. Want faster results? Paid ads on Google and Meta platforms can generate traffic immediately.
Tips:
Target high-intent keywords like “Sell flat in Denia” or “Miami Beach penthouse for sale”.
Use lead forms that capture a lead’s email/phone without leaving the platform for both sellers and buyers. Complement this form with a customer journey using HubSpot.
Retarget website visitors with listings they viewed.
Smart Budgeting: Start small, track conversions, and scale what works.
Analytics & Competitor Research
If you’re not tracking where your online leads come from, or how your competitors are getting traffic and leads, you’re flying blind.
What to Watch For:
Which blog posts or ads bring in the most leads.
Which pages cause visitors to bounce.
What keywords your competitors rank for, and how much they spend on ads.
Caliente Content offers a comprehensive competitor analysis with all their SEO sprints.
Technical SEO: Don’t Ignore the Back-End
Even the most beautiful website will not rank if it is slow, clunky, or confusing to search engines.
Fix These Issues Fast:
Slow mobile load times.
Broken links or 404s.
Duplicate content on listings.
Missing alt tags on photos.
