@Nicole Heasley I've seen many people using Investor Carrot (typically wholesalers) and it seems to be a solid option for the built in SEO that it provides but my issue is if there's already a bunch of people using it in a given market then wouldn't that make it significantly less effective since everyone is using the same platform to fight for the same leads?

However, if you are looking for off market properties, here are a few strategies I suggest:1) Driving for dollars, then contacting the owner2) Implementing a solid SEO strategy where deals come to you3) Direct Mail4) Networking with attorneys/CPAs5) Wholesalers 6) Paying bird dogs a finders fee7) Cold callingThis list only scratches the surface.

I’m making a commitment this year to improve the SEO of my home buying website, and I’d like to hear from others who are doing the same.

They say they optimize SEO for agents but I still had to pay for google ads in order to get any lead flow.

Secondly understand how they will be marketing your property on the different MLS's in your area, Facebook, SEO, etc.

You can rotate numbers about every 30 days and that can help, but it seems that soon the only viable marketing channels will be SEO, PPC, internet marketing and direct mail.What are your thoughts on the future of REI marketing?

Also see if they have an SEO function for website development.6. 

Here's a couple ways you can open up your funnel:- Get a website and start posting content for SEO/High Google Rankings- Google Pay per Click (PPC)- Facebook Retargeting (drive traffic to website)- Direct Mail- Cold Calling- Texting- Email- Door Knocking 

Connect with other wholesalers and investors, you can drive for dollars, send direct mail, make cold calls, build a website and drive traffic through SEO and paid advertising, etc.

He now does our marketing and SEO and is working his way into an even partnership.
