Real Estate Agents SEO Case Study

About the Client

Our client is a real estate agency based in Lahore, Pakistan, specializing in property buying, selling, and investment consultancy.
Despite being experienced in the real estate market, their online presence was limited to a basic website and a few property listings. The company struggled to attract consistent online inquiries or rank for local property-related searches.

They partnered with Growistan to establish strong organic visibility, generate qualified leads, and rank among top real estate businesses in their region.

• No structured data or Google Business Profile activity.

• High competition from major real estate portals.
