SEO For A Title Company?
-
Has anyone ever had success with doing SEO for a title company? The owner of our law firm has one, and I'd be happy to work on it, but it just doesn't seem to be cost-effective. From my experience, title business goes to people who personally know the realtor; no one who actually has a say is "googling title companies." But, if I'm wrong, I'd love to hear it and any experiences you want to share.
Thanks,
Ruben

I bet content on that topic would be good linkbait.

Thanks Cole!
We actually rank pretty decently for putting hardly any effort into it, but just like with your clients, very little (I'd almost say none) comes from it. But, thank you so much for mentioning "Remarketing," because you're right, the "title industry is a top-of-mind game." That is definitely something we could work on.
Thanks again,
Ruben

Hey Ruben,
I've done some work for a couple title companies. If you Google "title lawyers lafayette la" or "title attorneys lafayette la," we rank #1. HOWEVER, our client has not seen a big jump of incoming customers from the website. In addition, we have recently added on local SEO (Google Places for business).
I've seen local SEO (Google Places for business) have tremendous success with a local criminal lawyer in town.
Conclusion: Local SEO may be more valuable than attempting to rank #1 on Google, but it is important to remember that your Local SEO (Google Places) is affected by your organic SEO as one of many factors.
I suggest: Having A+ on-site optimization (URL's, Title, Meta Description, Content with focused keywords, h1-h3 headers, image alt tags). And pursuing Local SEO via Google Places. Make sure to fill out all of the information within the account and I hope you achieve first page of Google Maps on SERPs.
Other marketing efforts: We have seen success from doing Facebook Ads targeting the real estate companies in town (custom audiences would be great too). We have also seen good success in Remarketing. Considering the title industry is a top-of-mind game.
Good luck!

Using https: Beyond the standard seo metrics
Hi All, I've been doing quite a bit of browsing around the topic of utilising https vs http when constructing urls and I wanted to know if anybody has research on the customer perception of a site where all urls are https. We originally used rel canonical tags to inform the browsers that the http and https were the same but we are considering stepping this up to having the http pages redirect to the https and I'm wondering how customers may react if they know that all pages are https. Anybody have insights on possible outcomes? Thanks, Tom

What is SEO to you
We define SEO, as search engine optimization. Though it is more of an art. A web developer is not necessarily a SEO and vice versa. In my job as a web developer I wear many hats, and often asked what exactly SEO is. Before panda the seo industry seemed to follow "tricks" to get sites ranked. This practice lead to many seo company's thinking that spamming links, using link exchanges, link rings etc.. was actually the way to "SEO". So now it seams SEO is simply a short word as to how to get your site in top results, thusly ignoring the actual definition. As a web developer I always viewed SEO as a way to help the search engines understand what my web page is about. What do you think SEO means to you and your company?

Better rank VS Better Title Tag
I changed my title tag to encourage a better CTR by looking less keyword stuffed and my rank dropped from #2 to #5. So what do you think is better a title that business name first unlike everyone else who is just keywords first or a more google friendly title that looks like everyone else?

What's the best SEO management system for link building and reporting?
We've tried multiple management systems, with the last one being Raven Tools (I think this is the most popular). We've also done our own manual tracking in excel and that gets very very tedious and sometimes hard to keep track of. What are some other ones that people have found that have been easy to use and made their work much more efficient (link building/tracking, reporting, competitive research, social, etc.)?

"If a company has multiple practice areas, are there any advantages to having specialized local listings for each specific practice area?"
Hello Staff of SEOMoz! I just had a question regarding specialized local listings. Are there any advantages to having specialized local listings? (An example would be if we were a medical company, having a listing for family practice, one listing for women's health) If there are advantages, what are those advantages compared to having general medical listings? Thanks!

.com Doman and off-shore host for an Australia company, does this hurt ratings?
We have a site based in Australia that has been using the .com domain. Recently the .com.au became available and we purchased it and use a 301 redirect. Does having a site hosted off-shore and a .com rather than .com.au for a company affect the ratings in google.com.au for Australian traffic?
