Find or pay to have a theme built (hope it converts visitors into leads well... most don't)Get hosting (most use really low grade sub $10/mo shared hosting)Come up w/ the proper content strategy (most don't have the experience to structure the content correctly to perform well or be a benefit for SEO)Write that contentAdd a bunch of plugins (which often times increase chance of vulnerability by hackers or slow things down... but all require the site owner to maintain the plugins)Dial the site in on mobile (most WP themes don't perform well converting visitors to leads on mobile, at any given time we're running 10-20 split tests across dozens of sites improving performance on our platform)Run split tests to continually increase performanceSetup your analytics correctly (we make it easy or use our built in analytics)Continue to update themes, plugins, WP (which isn't hard, it's very easy as you know... but many people don't want to do that)Keep up on the SEO trends / market trends (which we help our clients stay ahead of)etc. etc. etc. 100% anyone can use free or cheap tools to rank well in Google and in the case of a WP site... the simple fact of it being WP doesn't contribute to it ranking well at all.

@James Wise This is a great post and appreciate the time and data you used putting it together.I am an Investor-Agent in the Houston, Texas market and 90% of my clients are investors of all stages like House Hackers, First, Second to 5th Properties, Flippers and Buy & Hold Investors. 70% of those 90% are Out of State Investors (OOS).
