Can a Canadian brokerage outrank Realtor.ca?
Not for broad searches like "homes for sale Toronto" — but neighbourhood-specific and REALTOR®-specific searches are different. "Homes for sale [neighbourhood]", "realtor [area]", and "sell my home [city]" are all searches where a brokerage with the right neighbourhood pages, REALTOR® profiles, and vendor intent content can rank on page one. These searches also convert better because the intent is specific.
How many neighbourhood pages does a Canadian brokerage need?
Start with the ten to twenty neighbourhoods in your primary market — the areas where your REALTORS® close the most deals. Each page targets buyer, vendor, and agent-intent searches for that specific neighbourhood. In Toronto and Vancouver, neighbourhood pages can be quite granular — "homes for sale [street-level neighbourhood]" — because search volume supports it.
Do you write the neighbourhood guides?
Yes. We research the keyword targets, write the neighbourhood overviews, market snapshots, and buyer/vendor guides, and deliver copy ready to publish. Canadian real estate content needs to be genuinely locally specific — including details about schools, transit, and community character — to rank above Realtor.ca's own neighbourhood profile pages. We write to that standard.
How long before organic leads come in?
Lower-competition neighbourhood searches — suburban markets, regional cities like Ottawa or Edmonton — typically show ranking movement in 60–90 days. Competitive urban neighbourhood searches in Toronto and Vancouver take three to six months. First organic contacts usually arrive in month two to four.
What about pre-construction condo SEO in Canada?
Pre-construction condo projects in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary need technical SEO from launch: correct indexation, project-specific schema, location targeting, and content targeting "[project name]" and "[area] pre-construction condos" searches. We scope this as part of a standard real estate engagement or as a standalone project page SEO brief.
Are there PIPEDA compliance considerations for lead capture forms?
PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) imposes consent requirements on how personal data is collected through online forms. We flag PIPEDA compliance requirements when designing lead capture page structures — typically ensuring explicit consent language on valuation request and contact forms. Legal compliance details should be reviewed with your own counsel; we ensure the page structure supports compliant form design.
Do you work with brokerages serving French-speaking markets in Quebec?
Yes — for brokerages operating in Quebec, we can produce French-language neighbourhood content and optimise for French-language property searches. The bilingual requirement is scoped as part of the diagnostic based on your target market and pipeline.
How much does real estate SEO cost in Canada?
We don't publish a rate card before running a diagnostic. After the Search Diagnostic, we produce a scoped proposal in CAD. The scope depends on your market, the number of neighbourhoods you operate in, the number of REALTORS® on your team, and whether pre-construction project pages are in scope. Request the diagnostic using the button on this page — we'll respond within one business day.
