Project Background

In the competitive real estate market of Austin, Texas, Ryan Rodenbeck, the CEO and broker of Spyglass Realty, found himself at a crossroads. Despite years of managing SEO in-house, Ryan realized he’d outgrown his in-house capabilities. He needed a partner who could take his vision and transform it into tangible results.

Ryan’s journey to find the right SEO partner wasn’t smooth sailing. He first turned to a well-known agency with an impressive reputation, hoping their clout would translate into results. While they made some progress, Ryan soon felt the sting of unfulfilled potential and wasted resources.

Project Solution

Spyglass Realty 500 keywords in top 3 organic results

*Not only have we increased the amount of keywords the website ranks for by 15,000+ keywords, but we’ve gotten 527 keywords to rank in the top 3 results organically.

Our approach was refreshingly different. We didn’t just listen to Ryan’s goals; we internalized his vision. Our team crafted an SEO roadmap that aligned perfectly with Spyglass Realty’s ambitions. We were able to build upon the foundation he had laid, weaving his piecemeal efforts into a cohesive strategy.

The results began to pour in, exceeding even Ryan’s optimistic expectations. Within a year, Spyglass Realty saw a staggering 117% increase in organic traffic. Their keyword rankings doubled, opening up new avenues for client acquisition. But the most dramatic transformation occurred in their downtown Austin condo market.

Before partnering with Direction, Spyglass Realty struggled to generate leads for downtown condos, managing only one or two inquiries per week. Our targeted approach skyrocketed those numbers from 1-2 to 5, then 15, then 25 qualified leads per week. This growth wasn’t just about numbers; it represented real people looking to buy property, translating directly into increased revenue for Spyglass Realty.

Project Impact

The impact on Ryan’s business was profound. By focusing on organic growth, Spyglass Realty reduced its reliance on paid lead sources, significantly improving profit margins. This shift provided Ryan with peace of mind, freeing him from the vulnerability of depending on a single lead source in an unpredictable market.

The benefits extended beyond just lead generation. Spyglass Realty’s enhanced online presence attracted not only potential clients but also talented real estate agents looking to join a thriving team. Under Direction’s real estate SEO expertise and guidance, the brokerage grew from 80 to 140 agents, a testament to its rising prominence in the Austin real estate scene.
