Well let me show you this...How many people take SEO seriously?

Driving for dollars, website with SEO, networking at events, auctions, telling everyone you know or come into contact with what you are looking for, making relationships with agents, wholesalers, and other professionals, direct mailers to potential motivated home sellers, etc.

Those can be tinkered with and upgraded along the way, but in my experience most agents who enjoy the utility of their website will eventually move to a host service that adds a lot of bells and whistles onto the website (SEO, CRMs, blog posts, etc).I’d start with this:  many brokers have a master website with the ability for each agent to have a micro-site within it (could be an agent page, possibly some search functionality, etc).  

The best method is SEO.

Then use SEO and PPC to get that site in front of sellers when they're truly motivated, ie when they search for very specific terms related to your business.

Each one of these principles works effortlessly with the others to propel you forward on your path to success.

Successful wholesalers spend $10,000 per month on targeted advertising and marketing, especially SEO and SEM and website technology, as well as social media, texting, robo calls, etc.

Second, figure out how to get that website in front of those homeowners when they are truly motivated to sell their home quickly (ppc, seo).

Your position in web results is also a factor, so SEO best practices also apply to local search optimization.There's no way to request or pay for a better local ranking on Google.

I am giving investor carrot a try (River City Home Buyers Website) and handling the seo myself since I have a little bit of experience with seo and adwords from managing it at A-1 Door.
