Creating the Best Real Estate Call to Action

calltoactionbuttonHow effective is your Call To Action on your site? You’ve worked hard to create a great website or social page, so let visitors come and go without connecting with you is a shame. This post is about helping you increase your lead conversion rate by optimizing the final stages of your lead funnel strategy.

One of the weakest parts of an agent’s real estate website lead conversion funnel is the call to action. The CTA is the last step and perhaps most important step. Your visitor needs to understand what to do next and you need to assert that you are ready to serve their needs.

Many realtors don’t really have a call to action. They assume the visitor is interested, motivated, and is determined to contact them.  But even high quality visitors might be more interested in at least delaying contact with the agent. You need an obvious and strong call to action to get them now, because they may never be back.  That finality is what makes some ecommerce websites so aggressive with their appeal to their visitor.

CTA’s should be used on all your digital marketing properties:

  1. email
  2. contact page
  3. services page
  4. Twitter page
  5. Facebook page
  6. Linkedin page

Alignment with your Content

Real estate websites tend to look the same, similar bland content, and with a weak value proposition and brand.  There’s not really any compelling reason to contact you the agent, therefore you need a strong call to action.   If you have excellent engaging content, it should lay the groundwork for action. In fact, your CTA should align with the sales conversion process you’ve built into your content and it should enhance your UVP like icing on a birthday cake.

It’s  demonstrated/proven your value and given the homeowner or buyer the belief that people win when they call you. This builds their intent.

Guiding your Customer to the The Solution They Need

Your strong call to action gets them to follow through on the intent you’ve magnified. Think hard about the value they’re going to get from you and pivot your CTA on that.

The call to action is the statement or push to focus the visitor’s purpose and resolve their need. You have to give them the motivation first through your content, then tell them what they need to do to make their activity/mission successful.  They’re online for a purpose but they might not be clear about what they should do. Everyone can be persuaded and convinced, if you can keep interacting with them.

What is it you want visitors to do? You have to be sure of the end goal and whether you’ve given them enough reason and desire to contact you. Contacting you should be your top priority because if they don’t, they’ll be gone forever. You’ve got to make as many prospects as possible contact you.

Weak Call to Action
This is the typical templated real estate hosted by the top real estate hosting company. The content of their About Us page has only a weak call to action “To start working with an agent right away, please contact us.” The About Us page should have a directive appropriate for visitors who want to know more about you. Here you might tell them to see your testimonials, sales awards, and community involvement.

The call to action should be fairly simple yet still match your unique value proposition. “Call Now” by itself is quick and simple but that’s a command not a call to action. The call to action has to be an extension of the desire and last link in the train of urgency you’ve created in the prospect. It’s the sensible conclusion.

Don’t forget to make your call to action visible. You can make bold statements as long as you can back them up.  It’s wise to push the envelope on what you’re willing to offer. Someone else will be offering something good as well.

When using graphic buttons, ensure they’re professionally designed if you can afford it. The designer will make one that is eye catching, using the right color, contrasts, and shape to appeal to your home buyers.
