SEO for Property Developers
Visibility for new build projects that outlasts the sell out: project pages, unit data and land acquisition on one domain.
What we deliver
SEO for property developers means optimising the corporate site and the individual project pages of a residential developer so that owner occupiers, investors and landowners find a scheme through Google and through AI answer engines. What sets it apart from other real estate SEO is the expiry date: every project sells out eventually, while the visibility it built should stay with the company for the next one.
One domain per project burns your visibility
New build sales usually gives every project its own domain. It starts from zero: no history, no links, no rankings. During the sales phase, exactly when it should produce enquiries, it is at its weakest. Once the last unit is sold, the domain gets switched off or blanket redirected to the corporate homepage, and the next project starts the same climb again.
We invert that. The corporate domain carries every project as its own section, each with a unit list, floor plans and construction updates. The project domain stays as a short redirect for hoardings, listings and print. Authority then accumulates on one domain across projects instead of scattering across a dozen throwaway sites, and sold out projects remain online as references that keep ranking on location and unit type searches.
The project name has no search volume
Before sales launch, nobody knows the project name. People search by location, unit type and status:
- Location: new build apartments Floridsdorf, first occupancy 1220 Vienna
- Investors: buy to let apartment Vienna, rental yield new build
- Provider: property developer Vienna, who is building in 1030
- Land: sell land Vienna, sell apartment building to a developer
Owner occupiers and investors decide on different criteria. Floor plan, balcony or garden, schools and transport on one side. Rental yield, VAT deduction and the payment schedule tied to construction progress on the other. A project page that blends both convinces neither group, so we separate them at page level.
Publish the unit list as HTML, not as a gated PDF
When the unit data only sits in a brochure PDF behind a form, Google reads little of it and ChatGPT or Perplexity next to nothing. When someone asks which developers in a district currently sell three room apartments with outdoor space, the projects that get named are the ones publishing unit number, floor area, storey, outdoor space and status as HTML, with the floor plan on its own page. Hold back prices if you want. Holding back areas, storeys and floor plans costs you the enquiry.
Land is the second lead source
No plot, no project. Owners, heirs and agents research which developers build nearby and who is a realistic buyer before they sell. A dedicated acquisition page with clear criteria, location, minimum size, zoning and a named contact captures those enquiries. What we do not do: buy address lists and email owners. Unsolicited email to business addresses without prior consent is not permitted in Austria under § 174 TKG 2021. Enquiries come from visibility, not from a mailing list.
Where this page stops
A developer sells its own product before it exists, inside a limited window per project. An estate agent brokers third party stock in a continuous flow of listings and also needs visibility to win sole agency mandates. Different keywords, different site structure, which is why that case has its own page: real estate SEO.
Getting started
The free SEO check reviews your corporate domain and sends the report by email. It shows technical state and structure, not the sales logic behind it. We cover that in a first call, ideally with your next project on the table.
The Challenge
Every new build project gets its own website, starts from zero and disappears once the last unit is sold. During the sales phase, exactly when enquiries matter, it barely ranks, so the reach gets bought back through portals and paid ads. The unit data sits in a brochure PDF behind a form, where Google and AI answer engines never see it.
Our Solution
We build visibility on the corporate domain, with every project as its own section instead of a throwaway site. Unit lists, floor plans and construction updates become indexable pages, owner occupiers and investors get separate entry points, and an acquisition page captures land offers. Whatever authority one project builds is available to the next.
Our Process
Review pipeline and domain landscape
We look at which projects are selling, which are in planning, and which project domains, legacy pages and redirects already exist. That determines what gets consolidated and what gets archived.
Set the architecture
Corporate domain as the trunk, every project as its own section, separate entry points for owner occupiers and investors, plus a land acquisition page. Old project domains get redirected to the matching target page rather than shut down.
Make project data indexable
Unit lists, floor plans, storeys and availability status move out of the PDF into their own HTML pages, with structured data and optimised renderings. That also makes the data readable for AI answers.
Build location and investor content
District and location pages, construction updates, answers on developer contracts, payment schedules and handover. These are the searches that happen long before anyone knows the project name.
Measure and hand over to the next project
We report visibility and form enquiries per project, using Search Console and an analytics setup that avoids US clouds. Your next sales launch starts on an established base.
