When a local real estate agent in Tradition, Port St. Lucie came to us, they were frustrated: their website existed, but it wasn’t bringing clients. Organic traffic was low, they weren’t showing up in the map pack, and competitors dominated local searches for terms like “real estate agent Port St. Lucie.” The goal was simple — get visible to local buyers and sellers and convert searchers into calls.

We started with a fast audit to identify the real blockers. The site had slow mobile load times, inconsistent NAP (name, address, phone) listings across directories, thin location content, and no local schema. Their Google Business Profile was set up, but incomplete and rarely updated. Backlinks were sparse and mostly generic. From that diagnosis we built a focused, practical local SEO plan.

First, we fixed technical issues that hurt user experience and crawlability. We optimized images and enabled caching to improve mobile PageSpeed, cleaned up duplicate pages and canonical tags, and implemented LocalBusiness and Service schema so search engines could clearly understand the business’ location and offerings.

Next we strengthened local signals. We standardized the NAP across directories, rebuilt the Google Business Profile with service categories, high-quality photos, and weekly posts, and created targeted landing content that spoke directly to Port St. Lucie residents. We added a dedicated local landing page and linked it from the services and footer navigation to concentrate internal authority.

Content work focused on intent: we rewrote service pages to include geo-targeted phrases like “Port St. Lucie real estate agent” and produced a local blog series answering neighborhood-specific questions buyers asked. We also collected keyword-rich client reviews, encouraging customers to mention Port St. Lucie and specific services in their testimonials.

Off-page, we pursued a small set of high-value local backlinks: partnerships with local home inspectors, guest posts on neighborhood blogs, and sponsorship mentions on community event pages. Those links provided relevant, local relevance signals rather than generic volume.

Within 90 days the changes moved the needle. The client’s primary keywords climbed to page one, and the top local keyword reached the #1 spot in Port St. Lucie search results. Organic calls and contact form submissions increased dramatically — the client began receiving about 8–12 organic leads per week from search alone. They also started appearing in the Google local pack for several high-intent, city-based queries.

What made this campaign work was focus: prioritize technical health, concentrate local authority through GBP and citations, publish content that answers local intent, and earn a small number of high-relevance backlinks. That combination produced the visibility and the reliable lead flow the client needed.
