How we ranked these agencies
We screened 40+ agencies that sell SEO to agents, brokerages and property firms. Several on the earlier version of this list were dropped because they publish no real estate result.
We scored the rest on six criteria an agent or broker can verify before a sales call.
- Verifiable real estate results 25% · leads, conversions or traffic for a named agent, brokerage or property firm
- Independent reviews 20% · Clutch rating weighted by review volume
- Local and IDX depth 15% · neighborhood pages, IDX listings, Google Business Profile
- AI search capability 15% · a real AI search service, and a measured result if published
- Lead reporting 15% · seller and buyer leads tracked, not just rankings
- Transparency and terms 10% · published pricing and minimum term
Total: 100%

How these agencies perform in AI search
Home buyers and sellers now ask ChatGPT "who is the best realtor in [town]" or "what is my home worth in [neighborhood]". Of the 6 competitors here, 5 sell an AI search service. Only SmartSites has published a measured AI result for a real estate client.
AI answers favor agents with many reviews, clear neighborhood pages and mentions in local news and directories. Ask each agency which prompts it would track for your market. Loopex Digital tracks prompts across four AI models; see its AI SEO services.
The 5-Prompt AI Visibility Test
Run these in ChatGPT, Perplexity and a Google search that shows an AI Overview, replacing the brackets. Note which agents appear and which pages are cited.
- "Best real estate agent in [town or neighborhood]"
- "Who should I list my house with in [city]?"
- "Is [your brokerage] a good brokerage?"
- "[Your name] vs [competitor agent]"
- "What are homes selling for in [neighborhood]?"
If a competitor or Zillow page appears and you do not, ask each agency which pages or mentions would change that answer.
Red flags when choosing a real estate SEO company
Walk away from a real estate SEO company that shows one of these signs on the first call.
- Guaranteed #1 rankings. No agency controls Google, and "real estate [city]" terms are dominated by portals.
- Reports that stop at rankings. Ask for seller and buyer leads from organic search.
- Copied neighborhood pages. Duplicate city pages across clients can hurt your site.
- No plan for IDX pages. Ask how they will make listing pages crawlable or add original content.
- Long contracts with no exit. A short trial period protects you in a slow market.
- No real estate case studies. General local SEO wins do not prove they know the market.

What real estate SEO companies cost in 2026

FAQ
How much does SEO for realtors cost?
Real estate SEO on this list starts at $199 per month for basic packages. Most active agents spend $800 to $1,500 per month, and teams or brokerages spend $1,500 to $3,500. Cheaper plans usually cover technical fixes only, without neighborhood content or links.
Can a realtor outrank Zillow and Realtor.com?
Rarely for broad terms such as "homes for sale in Austin". A realtor can win long-tail searches, such as neighborhood guides, school district pages and "sell my house in [suburb]". Google Business Profile and reviews also put local agents in the map pack, where portals do not compete.
How long does real estate SEO take to bring leads?
Map pack and Google Business Profile gains can show within 2 to 4 months. Neighborhood pages and seller-focused content usually take 6 to 12 months to bring steady leads. Search Geek Solutions measured SERHANT.COM's 138% lead growth year over year.
Do IDX listings help real estate SEO?
IDX listings help visitors but rarely help rankings, because thousands of sites show the same MLS data. Rankings come from original content around the listings, such as neighborhood guides, market reports and community pages. Ask your agency how it adds unique content to listing pages.
Can real estate agents show up in ChatGPT answers?
Yes. ChatGPT and AI Overviews name agents for prompts like "best realtor in [town]". They favor agents with many reviews, local press mentions and clear neighborhood pages. SmartSites reports a 509% increase in ChatGPT traffic for Great Point Properties.
Should a brokerage hire a real estate-only SEO agency?
Not always. Real estate specialists know IDX and portals, but many publish no measured results. A general agency can work well if it shows named property clients, local SEO proof and monthly reporting on seller and buyer leads.
