How I'd approach it.

  • Valuations come first

    For an agent, a valuation request is the enquiry that matters most. It's in the header on every page, leads the homepage, and has its own short form that asks for the basics first.

  • Area guides for local search

    People search by neighbourhood: “estate agent Redland”, “houses for sale Bishopston”. A real page for each area the agent covers, with useful local detail, gives Google something specific to rank.

  • Listings that are easy to keep current

    Properties come and go weekly. Each listing is one entry of data that builds its card, its page and its area page. On a real site this would come straight from the agent's property software, so the website is never behind Rightmove.

  • Fast on a phone

    Most property browsing happens on a phone, often on the move. Light pages, properly sized photos and no heavy plugins keep it quick.
