New Sequoia CRM Features and Backend Upgrades, 12/6/2010

Boston Logic is excited to announce the launch of a powerful new suite of features and realtor web design upgrades!  Monday morning, we are upgraded the back end of your Sequoia site in leaps and bounds.  These upgrades are part of the new CRM component we have been developing for the past several months.

Custom Real Estate Website

The first thing you will notice upon logging into your site is a new and improved Dashboard. Here you will see a host of significant upgrades, both in the real estate agent website design of the page but also the functionality. Thanks to the addition of the CRM component, you will now see your assigned Tasks at the top of the page. Tasks are the most significant addition to Sequoia as a result of the CRM component; you can use Tasks to manage workflow for yourself and your agents and to schedule follow-ups with your leads. Our type-ahead technology makes it easy to fill out fields for Task assignment, and a Task search, useable as a simple or advanced form, lets you find any open or completed task with ease:

Contact Events have also evolved and been merged with another new feature, Events. Events can be scheduled for any reason, and a set of quick contact events is now available atop lead profiles so you can add basic event records, such as noting when a lead calls you on the phone, with one click.

The best part? All of your Tasks and Events can be tied to users and leads, and can be viewed on an easy-to-use Tasks and Events Calendar:

We’ve also made it much easier to sort leads on any table of leads such as Unassigned Leads, All Leads, and My Leads, as well as adding a highly advanced lead search tool which can filter or sort by any usable criteria – as well as save searches so you can pull these reports at any time!

There’s a lot more too, like the ability to send messages to other users of your site and even leads, with a simple interface built right into the back end of your site:

Real Estate Website Q&A Tuesday: SEO and Sequoia 10/5/2010

For today's installment of Q&A Tuesday, where we discuss Frequently Asked Questions we receive from clients or potential clients regarding our Sequoia real estate website platform, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about website optimization.  We are constantly being asked about search engine optimization and how our Sequoia websites can help our clients in their search engine marketing efforts.

Here at Boston Logic, we realize the importance of search engine marketing and optimization for your real estate business.  Search engines are the way most people find information and services they want- and if your website is not optimized, it is less likely that  potential clients will find you.

Even if you've never heard of Search Engine Optimization, a Sequoia website will make optimizing your web presence easy!

Q:  How will switching to a Sequoia website help me with SEO?

A: The Sequoia platform was designed specifically with search engine optimization in mind!  Sequoia is a cutting edge website platform that integrates the most advanced real estate website features enabling leading-edge marketing campaigns- and we're constantly improving it!  Whenever there is a Sequoia system upgrade, your site is upgraded automatically, so your website will always be using the best technology in the real estate industry.

Q:  I don't understand SEO.  Will I still be able to benefit from the SEO features of a Sequoia website?

A: Yes!  With a Sequoia website, adding important Meta Data (such as Page Titles, Page Descriptions, and Keyword Tags) to your website pages and creating custom URLs (essential elements of a well-optimized page) are as easy as filling out a field on a form!  You don't have to be an SEO specialist or know HTML to improve your search engine ranking!  Simply fill out the fields provided as you create your pages!

Adding Essential SEO Elements to a Sequoia Website is EASY!

Adding Essential SEO Elements is EASY!

Q:  Is there support available if I need help with my SEO?

A: Yes!  Your Sequoia website comes with a very informative Users Guide tab you can access from your Admin dashboard.  We are constantly adding easy-to-follow demos and step-by-step instructions to the Help Section of this blog, and articles on SEO best practices on our blog at RealEstateSEO1.com.

Here are a few suggested links to help get you started:

Real Estate SEO is a Process

Optimize Your Site to Get More Traffic and Leads

Simple SEO for Your Blog

Q:  I heard that using Social Media could help my SEO; how do Sequoia websites integrate with popular social sites?

A: You heard correctly!  Utilizing social media sharing and social media websites are integral parts of any good search engine marketing strategy.  We are constantly upgrading our system to keep up with social media trends.

Sequoia websites also give you the ability to add Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn icons to your website's footer that link to your profile pages on these social media sites.  Setup is easy!  Simply copy and paste the URL of your profile page into the 'Social Media' fields on your 'Configuration' tab from your Admin dashboard, click 'Save' and your icon links appear automatically!

Easy to add Social Media Site icon links!The more ways you give potential clients to connect with you, the better!  We can also help you set up MLS and rental property searches on your Facebook Fan Page that connect to the property searches on your website, and help you set up an RSS feed from your blog to your social media profiles!

Drive more traffic to your real estate website with your Sequoia Blog! 9/2/2010

Why Blog?

Blogging is an important aspect of establishing a web presence for you and your website. Not only does it pump your real estate website design with keyword rich content that allows leads to find you through search engines, but it also helps you establish your brand identity and can color your business with a personal touch.

You'll now be writing for potential clients and people interested in real estate, so think about topics that you think they could find useful, or what you'd like to read about. For real estate SEO purposes, it is also helpful to center most of your blog posts around some of your keywords that you've identified with your real estate website.

Lastly, blogging is about being active. Read other blogs within your industry, have guest bloggers, and comment frequently. You'll be surprised how these things can increase your website traffic, and how you will become part of an online community!

Outlined below are some of the basics of your blog's toolbar. Feel free to experiment and explore other tools and capabilities that your blog has!

If you don't already have a blog integrated with your website, contact us and we can set you up with one for only $20 per month!

Blogging on Your Website

To write your first blog post, follow these steps:
1.    Log in to your website, this will give you the ability to create, edit and delete blogs.
2.    Go to Settings > Bloggers in the backend to add the users you would like to have blogging capability

Setting Potential Bloggers on your website


3.    To blog, stay logged into your system and go to your blog (www.yourdomain.com/posts)

4.    As a blogger, a link will be available at the top of your blog to "Create Post"

Select Create Post to start blogging

5.    Now you are ready to start writing. Choose an accurate title that describes the text, and hopefully contains a keyword.
6.    In the large white section, you will type your blog text.

Note: If you have already typed up your first post in Word or you are copying and pasting text from an email, be sure to highlight the text you paste into the blog, and then click the small eraser icon in the toolbar. This gets rid of unwanted code and formatting, and will keep your blog's font consistent.

7.    To insert a link into the text of your post, simply highlight the selected text you'd like the link to be. Next, click the globe with the chain (i.e., "link") icon in the toolbar, and a window will pop up and prompt you to enter the URL for link. You can type this out or copy and paste it.

Note: Search engines love blog posts that have lots of outbound links. Be sure to link to other sites of interest or relevance when you can. It's also a great opportunity for you to create internal links to pages on your own site, like Town Pages if you are writing about a featured listing or neighborhood.

8.   To insert an image, click on the yellow icon with the mountain in the foreground. From here, an "Image Properties" window will pop up.

Insert an image into your blog post

a.    Click on the "Browse Server" button to be re-directed to your website's image server, called the FCK Editor.
b.    Click "Browse", then select the image you'd like to insert into your blog post.
c.    Your image is now uploaded to the server. Locate the file name in the list of images, click it, and hit "Upload".
d.    Your image is uploaded into the "Image Properties" window. Click "OK", and your image is now inserted into your blog post!

9.    You can also adjust the size of the image by double clicking it, and then clicking on any of the corners (which should have a white square) to drag your image to the desired size.

10.    To change the image's alignment, (centering an image is recommended) click the image, then click any of the 3 alignment options on the toolbar.

Your first blog post


These are the basics of your blog's toolbar. Feel free to experiment and explore other tools and capabilities that your blog has!

Ready, Set, BLOG!

Okay, so you have a blog and are ready to start writing: now what do you write about? Or maybe you have been blogging for a while but now you are stumped? Here are some suggestions to get you started!

·    Featured property listings. This is a great way to hand-select and talk more about certain apartments that you have, and potential leads love reading additional info on a listing.

·    Attend a real estate conference or networking event
and write about your experience

·    Write a book review that can provide relevant insight to the real estate industry

· Browse through real estate blogs that you find interesting, and think about how you can take the aspects that you like and make them your own.

You can also visit our real estate SEO blog to read more about real estate blog post suggestions. And browse through real estate blogs that you find interesting, and think about how you can take the aspects that you like and make them your own.

Modal Windows : Myths, Fears, & Conversions

What's a Modal Window?

You may already be familiar with the Modal Window feature of your Sequoia website for realtors, especially if you attended our LogicClassroom about Maximizing Lead Conversion! We hope you've had your Modal Windows turned on since your site went live!

We have seen our clients' lead capture rates increase significantly time and time again once they utilize this basic, yet crucial feature of their new Sequoia website design for realtors.

A Modal Window functions similarly to a pop-up window in that it is a small dialog box that appears in the center of the screen above the contents of the page the visitor is on. Pop-up windows are easily dismissed or ignored, however, whereas a Modal Window requires the visitor's attention before allowing them to proceed to the rest of the website. Modal Windows will still appear even if the visitor is using a pop-up blocker on their system.

How Modal Windows Work:

On your Sequoia website, the Modal Window (once enabled) will appear when a new visitor uses a property search on your site. The search results will be displayed, but will be elegantly faded out and disabled so that the visitor can only see the list of properties that match their query, but they won't be able to click on any of the properties on the list for more information until they fill out the contact form in your Modal Window.

If the visitor tries to scroll down the page, they can see the extensive list of properties in the background scrolling, but the Modal Window will continue to hover over the disabled results until they fill out the form or hit the 'Back to Search' button.

The ability to see the extensive list of properties behind the window helps assure the visitor that you have the information they are looking for, and that there is a large list of properties matching their criteria to choose from upon submitting their contact information.

Some of clients have expressed concerns about implementing Modal Windows on their site. They are concerned that Modal Windows will drive visitors away from the site entirely and cause them lose quality leads. This could not be further from the truth! We've had clients disable their Modal Windows in hopes of capturing more leads without prompting visitors to fill out their contact information in exchange for listing information, only to have the clients turn the Modal Windows back on within less than a month of testing the site without them!

Modal Windows are becoming more popular for websites across the internet and users are getting used to the requirement to sign up for an account in order to access information on a large variety of websites- everything from social networking sites, to news archives, and even e-commerce websites. Visitors will see that you offer the information they are after with the ability to scroll the results behind the Modal Window, and if they are serious about finding a new home or apartment, will have no issue with filling out your contact form.

Enabling Your Modal Windows:

If you haven't done so already, here is how you enable the Modal Windows on your new Sequoia website:

1. Log into your website, and go to the 'Settings' Tab.

2. Select 'Configuration' from the sub navigation menu on the Settings Tab.

3. Scroll down the Configuration settings panel until your reach the section titled 'Lead Options'.

4. From here, you can simply check the boxes next to where you want to Modal Window to appear.

We suggest enabling the Modal Window for Rental, Sale, and Luxury Developments to get the most leads. To make your Modal Window less intimidating to visitors, you can leave the 'Require Lead Phone Number' option unchecked, so the visitor doesn't have to supply that information, only their name and email.

Now that you can see how easy it is to enable your Modal Window, we hope that you will make use of this great feature to help you capture more leads within your realtor internet marketing campaign!

If you still have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us for support!

New Realtor Web Site Design Launch! Sherrygrancey.com: 8/12/2010

Sherry Grancey wanted to employ one of our expertly designed, ready to deploy themes, but she had a unique problem.

Sherry is a Gibson Sotheby's agent, and Sotheby's has strict rules about how their brand can be represented on the web and in print. In order to get Sherry the site she wanted and also comply with Sotheby's regulations, we changed fonts, colors, and logo positioning on the template Sherry knew she wanted to use.

Compliance with brand identity standards is a necessity for many agents, and Sequoia's real estate website designers are ready and able to make sure the custom real estate website design theme you want will comply. If your agency requires certain fonts, colors, or logo placement, we will be happy to incorporate them into the theme of your choice. Of course, we will also work with you to choose a theme that will respond as well as possible to the changes - Sherry Grancey's Theme looks right at home with Sotheby's corporate colors and fonts.

The following quote is a testimonial from Sherry:

"Boston Logic was immensely patient and hands on in helping me with my new website. I was skeptical due to a previous bad experience with a real estate website designer, but Boston Logic's staff listened to my concerns, answered my questions and provided the training I needed for someone like me who is clueless regarding  web technology. I would recommend them highly."

Sherry Grancey is an agent with Gibson Sotheby's International Realty. She specializes in distinctive city and waterfront properties in Boston and Charlestown.

Control Your Real Estate Website Visitor Access Through Access Levels

Do you have certain forms, pages, or content that you do not want a visitor to your site to be able to view unless they are an employee or have signed up for an account on your website for realtors? If so, you'll want to keep reading to learn how to utilize your real estate website's Access Levels to give you more control over who sees what on your website.

Once you have launched your new real estate website design, you have the ability to choose who can see certain pages on your website, such as an internal agent bulletin board. If you choose to have select pages that a visitor must be signed in to view, you page will not appear on your site until they log into their account, or an account that is created for them.

Remember, if you have questions, you can contact us at any time, or watch the comprehensive demo video on Editing Your Website Settings.

To edit the access levels of your website, follow the simple instructions outlined below!
Edit Your Access Levels

Here is the rundown on how to set access levels for pages within your Sequoia website:

1.    Find the page that you would like to set an access level for and select 'Edit'.

2.    The next page that will appear is the same page that allows you to edit your content.

a. Scroll down to "Who can see this page."

b. Select Show.

c. All boxes are checked by default, which means everyone is able to view this page.

3.    De-select the check-boxes for accounts that you do not to have access to the page you are editing. The two most important accounts to note are Lead and Anonymous User.
Lead Management Tab

a.  A Lead is someone who must be signed into their account on your website to view a page.

b.  An Anonymous User is anybody that visits your site and does not sign into an account on the website.

4.    After you have completed selecting who can and cannot view a certain page, select the 'Create' button if it is a new page, or 'Update' if you are editing a current page.

You page now has an access level associated with it! Just like the pages within your website, you may go back and change your access levels as often as you wish.

Town Pages Improve Your SEO & User Experience

If you’ve started reading any of the blogs here or at RealEstateSEO1.com or BostonLogic.com, then you know that for a successful SEO campaign, unique high quality (and keyword-rich) content is king!  But how do you add that type of valuable content to your real estate website?

LEVERAGE WHAT YOUR ALREADY KNOW:

One of the easiest ways to leverage your expertise in the real estate industry - and provide your real estate agent website design with keyword-rich content that is useful to search engines and visitors alike - is by adding Town Pages.  Town Pages are pages with a paragraph or so you create with helpful information about an area, and dynamic search results you control by setting criteria when building the page. If your offices'  websites for realtors currently does not include town pages, you can upgrade your website to include town pages for only $20 per month!

The information on these pages can be what you would tell someone looking for a new home in the area in question; you can talk about the demographics of the area, the great amenities, the architecture, the public transportation, etc. Basically anything you think clients would find useful or interesting.  In addition, information on properties in the area such as average price, number of properties on market, and more is automatically added to the page.

HOW TO CREATE A TOWN PAGE IN THE SEQUOIA SYSTEM:

1.    Log into your website.  Click on the 'CMS' (Content Management System) Tab.

2.    Select the 'Pages' text link from the sub-navigation menu.

Creating a new Town Page in your CMS

3.    From the 'Pages' menu, click on the 'Create New' button with the green plus sign icon.  Then fill out the form in the 'Create Page' pop-up window that appears.

4.    Fill in the Town Page information:

Steps to Create and Optimize a Town Page

a.   Name: This is your internal reference for the page- visitors won't see it.  We recommend including the words 'Town Page' at the end so they are easy to find in the Pages Menu.

b.    Path: This is the URL your clients will see in their navigation bar and it is also used by Search Engines to help rank your site.  Make sure you use a keyword you want to rank for ('Fenway Apartments', in the example above).

c.    Redirect URL: Leave this blank for your Town Pages unless you want to redirect your visitors to a different page on your site.

5.    Page Content:

Creating valuable Town Page content

a. Page Header: This is the headline of your page that visitors will see when they land on this page.  Make sure it is relevant, and utilizes one or more of your keywords.

b.   Body Content: This is where you enter that paragraph of useful text you created.  If you are pasting your text from a Word Document or Text Pad/ Notebook program, make sure to use the appropriate pasting option from the tool bar.  You can edit the text within this box much like a Word Document, changing text with Bold or italic styles, adding hyperlinks, etc. using the icons in the tool bar.

Town Page Meta Data is an important part of your SEO campaign.

6.    Meta Data: This section is where you enter your SEO Title, Description, and Keywords as covered in our earlier email about Optimizing Your Pages.  Remember to make sure your Title and Description are readable to a viewer and not a rambling list of Keywords.

7.    Don’t worry about the ‘Footer Content’ or ‘Who Can See This Page’ for this lesson.  The default settings are fine.

8.    Hit the 'Create' Button when you are finished!

9.    Your new Town Page will now appear on your 'Pages' list.  Ta-Da!  Congrats!  You've just created your first Town Page!

Realtor website marketing with town pages

You can now link to this page, using the URL you created, from blog posts or other pages that mention the neighborhood.  The more relevant internal links your site has, the better for SEO and user experience.  For example, if you mention something about Fenway Condos for Sale in your Fenway Apartments Town Page, make the words 'Fenway Condos' a hyperlink to a Town Page about Fenway Condos for Sale.  If you talk about the Fenway's proximity to another neighborhood, link to that Town Page, too!  Your potential client might not be sold on the Fenway area and you can keep them looking on your site longer by providing them with helpful links to other information they might find useful.  To automatically boost SEO for your site, be sure to ink each of your Town Pages to dynamic (c0nstantly updating) Property Search results!

LINKING YOUR TOWN PAGE TO DYNAMIC CONTENT:

By linking your Town Pages to a Sales or Rental Property Search for that area, you will create a page with not only great text for visitors and search engines, but also a page with constantly updating information, which is great for SEO!  We recommend making a Town Page for every area you want to increase your Sales or Rental activity in, to help improve your real estate online marketing campaign.

1.    From the 'CMS' Tab, select the 'Town Pages' link from the sub-navigation bar.

2.    Click the blue link for a 'New Town Page' from within the Town SEO Pages Menu.

3.    The 'New Town Page' popup window will appear.  Select the Town Page you just created from the 'CMS Page' dropdown menu.

4.    Select the 'Search Type' you want associated with this page (Sales or Rentals).

Town Pages are a great way to increase your SEO ranking

5.    Then select the search parameters for the listings you wish to show to visitors on this page, such as price range and the location (Fenway in this example).  Be sure not to leave the price range blank or it will cause errors on your page or lead visitors to believe there are no listings available in this area.

Link your Town Page to Property Searches for Dynamic Content

6.    Click the 'Create Page' button at the bottom of the screen once you've entered all your information.

Your new Town Page now appears in your Town Pages menu under the 'CMS' Tab and is linked to a relevant search to keep your page constantly refreshed with new information and no more effort on your part!

You're ALMOST DONE!  Now you just have to make it so visitors can find your new page without knowing the URL through real estate website marketing.  The best way to optimize your new Town Pages is to create a link to it that can be clicked on from any page of your website.  This will ensure that users and search engines can find it!

MAKING YOUR TOWN PAGE EASY TO FIND:

Did you know that search engines cannot see information in forms, such as the drop down menus used in your property searches?  In fact, search engines often only 'crawl' within 3 clicks of your website's Home Page.   Search engines and users alike will find it easier to navigate to your Town Page if it is prominently displayed.

The ‘Town Page Footer Navigation Menu’ feature of the Sequoia system offers a great solution to this SEO dilemma, allowing you to create a text link (which search engines DO see) on the bottom of every page of your site (including your Home Page) using the keywords you chose when creating your Town Page.  Adding each Town Page to this menu will increase real estate internet marketing presence, SEO, and promote ease of use for your customers.

1.    From your ‘CMS’ Tab, select the ‘Menus’ link from the Sub Navigation Bar.

2.    Select the link ‘Menu Items’ from the ‘Town Pages’ row on the Menus List.

3.    In the ‘Menu Items for Town Pages’ drop down that appears, click the ‘Create New’ button.

Create an SEO link for your Town Pages

4.    Creating Your Footer Link:

a.    Menu Text: This is the text that will appear at the bottom of your pages as a hyperlink to your new Town Page.  Make sure the Menu Text you create is one of your keywords, so, in our example, the Footer link would say ‘Fenway Apartments’.

b.    Page: This is where you select the page you want this link to go to.  This is why we find it helpful to include the words ‘Town Page’ in the name of the Town Pages you create.

c.    External Link: Only use this if you want to create a Footer Navigation Link to a page outside of your website, such as to an affiliated site, instead of an internal link.

Menu Items for New Town Page

d.    Click the ‘Create’ button.

You're DONE!  Your new Town Page now appears in the ‘Town Page Footer Navigation’ Menu, and in the footer of your website.

You can rearrange your Town Pages from this footer menu

Once you create multiple Town Pages, you can change the order in which they appear in the footer navigation by click and dragging the menu item up or down by the green arrows icon to the right on this screen.  Below is an example of what a hyperlink for your new Town Page will look like in your Home Page footer.

An example of a new Town Page on a website Home Page

Now all the valuable content your wrote for your users and search engines is just 1 click from your Home Page, helping you begin to rank higher in organic search engine results for the keywords you are targeting!

Agent Websites Now Available on the Sequoia Platform! 7/16/2010

For Boston Logic's Agent Sites, we employ the same industry leading technology as found behind our broker web design office sites - in addition to enhance personal real estate online marketing features.

Until now, Boston Logic did not offer a cost-effective solution for Real Estate agents who wanted to have their own personally branded, custom real estate website. Well, so many individual agents asked us to create such a product, that we couldn't say no any longer!

AgentLike our sites for Real Estate Offices, Agent Sites are designed to help you rank in the search engines, leverage social media, produce more traffic, and convert more of that traffic into leads. The difference is ownership - Agent Sites not only work seamlessly with the LogicLeads system of your company's Sequoia site, they can generate their own unique leads which go directly to the agent who owns the site.  Aggregating leads from your Agent Site and your office's Sequoia site will increase the amount of business going directly to you.

Of course, Agent Sites have all New Sequoia Features of the best-in-class features that make Sequoia the leading platform in Real Estate agent website design: branded site designs with an unlimited number of pages, advanced lead management, unlimited editable lead capture forms, MLS property search with Google maps, extensive interactive user tools, rental search, and much, much more.

Our websites for Realtors offices consistently produce leads, traffic, and search engine ranking. Positioned at the cutting edge of online marketing and technology, Sequoia sites support next generation marketing campaigns, work seamlessly with social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and give offices the edge over their competition. Now individual agents can tap into the power of the best software platform in the industry - by using Sequoia Agent Sites.
