This guide will serve you as a roadmap to using Pinterest for real estate marketing purposes.
Overview
We all constantly hear the same advice: promote your content on social media…Instagram is killing it right now…you should focus your efforts there and only there.
And while this may be true in some cases, too many real estate agents overlook other social media platforms that have a huge potential.
So what kind of social media platforms are we talking specifically? In this case, we will focus on Pinterest and its potential for real estate agents.
What’s so different about Pinterest and how can it help you increase the visibility of your brand and attract more leads?
First things first, put yourself in your potential clients’ shoes. Imagine the process that they are going through while searching for their dream house. What is their first step? Search it on Google and look at the pictures. And what platform is 100% picture-oriented? Pinterest, of course. Yes, Instagram is also fighting for the title of the most visual-oriented platform but it’s still far from the Pinterest level.
So, with that information in mind, let’s talk about how you should treat your Pinterest in 2020?
Pinterest for Real Estate in 2020
So, what’s up with Pinterest in 2020? In the past, Pinterest was a social media platform. Now it’s a search engine. What does it mean for real estate agents? It means that keywords are incredibly important. How can you incorporate this into your daily activity on Pinterest?
Well, as a search engine platform, Pinterest resembles Google in some major areas. You can help your pins rank higher with the right combination of keywords. How can you do that? Don’t leave Pinterest in favor of the third party keyword researching platforms. Use the search bar, type in different keywords and you will see the most searched one. This is one of the resemblances to the Google platform. Google search bar is also is a great keyword researching tool.
So, with different combinations of the keywords, the only thing you have to do is a test them on your Pinterest account.
