Consistent Clients – Real Estate Marketing

Today’s Web 2.0 post is one from the Duct Tape Marketing blog by John Jantsch: Yelp, Changing the local game some more.  I’ve talked about taking advantage of Google Local to get better local visibility for your business, and I use Yelp myself.

You may not have thought about trying to get clients to provide a review of you as a real estate agent on sites Yelp, Google and Yahoo, but why not? It gives you more credibility if they’re doing a simple search for real estate agents. It gives you more spots to be found in the search engines. And since these are public review, you can probably take them and use them on your site if you like (haven’t checked into the legality of this, so don’t hold me to it, but if they left you a good review, they’d probably be happy to have you use it on your site, so just ask).
