Industry

Problems to investigate

  • Zillow and Realtor.com are eating all the online leads
  • No system for staying in touch with past clients and SOI
  • Inconsistent marketing — posts when she remembers, ghosts for weeks
  • Website is either nonexistent, a bad IDX template, or a brokerage page she doesn't control
  • Knows she should do neighborhood content but has no time to write it
  • Competitors with bigger teams are dominating Google in her farm area

Channels to test

  • Local Networking
  • LinkedIn
  • Cold Email
  • Partnerships

First launch approach

Offer free digital presence audit to 20 agents showing their online visibility vs. top agents in their market. Show exactly where Zillow and Realtor.com are eating their leads. Convert audits to Growth tier.

Ways to find your first customer

  • Partner with real estate coaches and trainers (they reach hundreds of agents)
  • Attend local REALTOR association meetings and broker opens
  • Run case study showing how an agent went from 0 to 20 leads/month with neighborhood content
  • Cold email agents with no website or outdated IDX site (easy to find on Zillow agent directory)
  • Offer free neighborhood page as a lead magnet — show them ranking potential

Content ideas

  • How to rank #1 for "[Your Neighborhood] homes for sale" in 90 days
  • the industry 1.5%)
  • Stop paying for leads: the AI-powered neighborhood marketing playbook
