The Ole "Aha!" Moment
Let me tell you a quick story. When I first started my home inspection business, my website was about as exciting as watching paint dry. Seriously, it was all “We do this” and “We offer that.” Yawn! Then one day, a potential client called and said, “I read your article about common foundation issues in [my city]. It was so helpful!” That’s when it hit me – content that helps is content that converts.
Local, Local, Local!
Here’s the deal: Google loves local content, and guess what? So do your potential clients! Think about it – if you’re searching for a home inspector, would you rather read a generic article about home inspections or one that talks about specific issues in your area?
Some ideas to get you started:

The Visual Advantage

I once created a simple infographic about “10 Things Home Buyers Often Miss” and it went mini-viral in my local real estate community. Realtors were sharing it left and right, and my phone was ringing off the hook!
