It’s the bottom of the 9th for 2015 and time to start designing your CRE Marketing plan for 2016. Now is the time to layout your goals for 2016, not January 5th after everyone has gained 10 pounds and feeling gloom.
Commercial Real Estate Companies are becoming more and more active in implementing technology products so they may operate more efficiently and increase business opportunities. However, the Commercial Real Estate Industry has a lot of room for improvement.
Leavitt Digital conducted a survey where it ran tests on 300 commercial real estate firms throughout the United States. The average online presence rating over the top 50 local websites was 32%. This survey does not discount the score based on incorrect information, it simply checks for a company’s presence. Once you take a more granular look at the results the average commercial real estate company has a 16% online presence report of correct information over the top 50 local sites. Having a low presence and incorrect information drastically work against a company’s Local SEO (Search Engine Optimization) rankings.
