Local web pages in seconds

Real estate website company, a la mode, inc. has announced the launch of their “Featured Community Pages” which are hyperlocal pages created by users’ filling in of a few fields which creates a web page for an agent’s website about a very local area.

The goal of the community pages is to give users a better shot at being found in Google for applicable areas of expertise rather than attempting to compete for the entire city. Many agents make the mistake of launching a blog and writing all about “Dallas real estate” which is a phrase that is not only misleading (no agent is an expert about every street in this giant city), but unlikely to be a term a new writer ranks for as hundreds of agents have been writing about this phrase for years. More accurate and desirable for legitimate buyers that have narrowed their search is “Highland Park historic homes” or “White Rock Lake homes for sale.”

The company says that with only a few key points about an area like cross streets and landmarks, their GhostWriter tool inserts the answers into sentences and paragraphs and builds the pages “just like a human would” which generates completely custom, local web pages in about ten minutes. The service is free for current Gold and Platinum XSite users.

Custom, local content

Kara Calderon, EVP, Marketing Real Estate Solutions Division at a la mode, inc. told AGBeat, “REALTORS ask me all the time, “what’s the secret to online success?” and my answer is always the same – fresh, custom, local content. But naturally, there are challenges that come with that like knowing what to write about, finding the time, or just getting started. That’s why this new XSite feature is so important, it gives REALTORS the ability to create completely custom, hyper-local content in about ten minutes by just filling in a few fields specific to their area. We take care of the rest.”

I agree! Consumers aren't stupid they are going to know if the agent wrote the information or if it's canned. And Google is going to know as well. If you don't have time to write it yourself don't bother. And if you do have the time include local pictures you took yourself.

Hey guys - We'd love it if agents wrote their own unique, hyperlocal content. But the reality is 1) agents simply don't have the time, or 2) they don't know where to start when it comes to writing content. So we built this tool to help agents with both of those issues. We encourage (always have and always will) agents to edit content we provide to make it even more unique and, to your point Eric, to reflect their personality.

+1 Ron. How is your personality, as an Agent, going to come through if you aren't writing your own copy? Google guidelines have shown over and over that you need to write for people, not for search engines. As with everything, be yourself, especially when it comes to your website.

Automatically generating content with a bot, software system, content spinning or any "automation" tool is always a BAD idea. There is no magic bullet for content creation. The search engines will see right through this and will quickly identify this as content SPAM. A la mode should know better.
