SEO Local📍 Case Study — Real Estate Services
How The Boutique Re Group went from buried to Top 3 Map Pack ranking in 90 Days
The Boutique Re Group was buried on page 2, invisible in the Map Pack and losing leads to competitors. SEO Local deployed its Three-Engine System to optimize GBP, build authority, and automate review velocity.
The Challenge
A Top Real Estate Team Buried on Page 2 and Missing Out on Local Leads
The Boutique Re Group, a leading real estate services provider in Newport Beach, struggled with low visibility in Google's Map Pack, causing them to lose valuable client inquiries to competitors who ranked higher. Despite offering exceptional services, their Google Business Profile lacked optimization, resulting in poor local search performance. Without a strong local SEO strategy, their GBP authority was weak and they had no system to generate and leverage customer reviews effectively. This combination left them largely invisible to prospective clients searching for real estate experts in their area.
Before SEO Local
- Ranked on page 2 with no Map Pack presence
- Competitors dominated local real estate searches
- Low GBP authority and incomplete profile details
- No review velocity or reputation management system
After SEO Local
- Achieved Top 3 Map Pack ranking in Newport Beach
- Rebuilt GBP authority with comprehensive optimization
- Implemented automated review generation and response strategy
- Secured citations in Google AI Overviews for local real estate queries
