Using Carrot.com for Multifamily Leads

[Parker Larsen]

Hello BP,

I recently started using Investor Carrot in an effort to generate motivated multifamily seller leads. Their website service is great however most of their content is pre-written and geared towards single family residential leads rather than multifamily. My question is has anybody attempted to use the Investor Carrot site to go after multifamily leads with any success? Thanks for your time!

Today, I sit in the number #1 google ranked position for my key word in my target market "sell my house fast Santa Cruz CA" - much thanks to Carrot.com!"

Good for you for mastering the website. But webmastering is a big and complex topic. Be prepared that 9 months is not the pinnacle, but only the beginning of your big journey to the perfect website.

You have the next 2 steps to take.

Step 1. More keyword phrases

The phrase "sell my house fast " is iconic among investors, but not the only one. Note that @Jerryll Noorden demonstrates the effectiveness of his SEO on a good dozen keyword phrases.. You have to work with other equally important queries, too.

Step 2. Website engine changing

You use a carrot website, it does not mean that it's available to all of your visitors. I checked its loading speed with Google PageSpeed:

Google considers your website to be in the red zone for visitors. Only 43% of visitors have the patience to wait for your website to finish loading. It takes 10.5 seconds. The remaining 57% of visitors leave your website before it has finished loading.

Carrot is a website builder. Unfortunately, all website builders - Carrot, Wix, SquareSpace, Tilda,... lose most visitors to slow loading websites.

You need to increase the download speed to 3 seconds, then 90% of your visitors will wait until the end of the download and start exploring your website. At the same time your website will get into the green zone of Google. This will make it a lot easier to promote your website to Google' top for other keywords.

Tip. Start using a good, fast engine (CMS) for your website. Do not use WordPress, it's a slow engine (Carrot, for example, uses WordPress). Use the fastest web engine you can afford.

Parker, good luck in your future mastery of SEO and web design.
