Spanish Property: How One Spanish Property Realtor Got The 1st 5 Results in Google

Feb. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Javea, Alicante - February 16th 2011 - Chris Hawkins, CEO of Luxury Spanish Villas, an established realtor in Javea, Spain, revealed how changes in Google and in SEO and video marketing have enabled him to propel his company website to the top of Google not once, but 5 times on the first page.

No stranger to the world of SEO or Spanish property, Chris Hawkins has spent the last 10 years working in the real estate industry in Spain following an earlier career in the IT industry in the UK.

According to Mr Hawkins, "Although most businesses these days have websites, very few benefit from page 1 listings in the search engines.  For many, SEO is seen as some sort of black art which can cost a small fortune when outsourced to specialists.  Most companies, therefore, tend to invest a relatively small amount in the promotion of their websites."

"Despite the fact that many perceive Google as a goliath that can''t be challenged, there exist considerable opportunities for those willing to exploit Google''s stated aim to deliver search results from multiple sources in its search results'' listings."

If you conduct a search on Google these days, you will find an amalgamation of website listings, photos, books, places and videos in the results.  The question is, of course, how can you ensure your business appears in some of these additional listings.

Mr Hawkins was keen to point out that "many realtors are missing out on fantastic opportunities to appear in video listings which, believe it or not, are relatively easy to get onto the first page.  In fact, there is considerably less competition ranking videos than pages."

Whilst not willing to provide the exact methodologies, Mr Hawkins added that he had recently managed to achieve 5 out of the first 6 results on page 1 of Google for the phrase ''first line property Javea''.  These results included the company website and their own Youtube video channel.

"We were stunned when we saw this.  It was a bit of a steep learning curve understanding how to achieve rankings like this but proof that huge opportunity exists for those willing to explore the benefits of video marketing for their businesses.  Additionally, our buyers and vendors have commented how much better our presentation of properties is compared to some of our competitors."
