Making Your Website Secure

April 20, 2017 by engageRE

As you may know, Google in recent months has been making a push for webmasters to secure their websites, even promising a small rankings boost for those that upgrade to HTTPS.

While not all platforms and services offer this kind of upgrade, our developers have worked hard to make this possible for our customers.  Agents with WordPress Premier websites can expect their primary domains to be secured automatically, free of charge.

If you aren't one of our WordPress Premier customers, our engageRE/LeadStreet vendor now secures all custom domains that have been pointed to them with the appropriate nameservers. Domains should be secured within 30 days of a nameserver update.

Customers do not need to purchase SSL certificates through their domain registrars or third parties. On the engageRE/LeadStreet platform, domains are secured at no added cost to the agent.

For questions about securing your domain, or getting your domain pointed properly, please contact us at techassist@engageremarketing.com.

Choosing Good Names For Saved Searches

January 3, 2017 by engageRE

When you create SEO searches, you want to name each search strategically.  The name of the search should be an accurate descriptor that helps search engines to recognize and index the content of the search page, and it should contain terms or phrases on which users will actually be searching.

A few pointers for naming your searches:

  1. Your search name should contain the common name of the location (city, town, county, school district, etc) and the state code, as well as a domain phrase like “real estate” or “homes for sale.”  If you are creating a feature search, it should also contain a descriptor of that feature.
    • Basic city search: Rochester NY Homes for Sale
    • Basic school district search: Blue Valley School District KS Real Estate
    • Feature search: Rochester NY 4 Bedroom Homes for Sale
  2. Your search name should be spelled correctly, and should use title casing. State codes should be abbreviated.
    • Poor search name: rochetser new york commercial properties
    • Good search name: Rochester NY Commercial Properties for Sale
  3. Your search name should be brief, and not contain extraneous words or symbols. Your search name is not the place to add your name or phone number. If you want to add these things, add them to the content of the page.
    • Poor search name: Luxury home search in Rochester call Noel Jenkins 555-555-5555
    • Good search name: Rochester NY Luxury Homes for Sale
