Investor Carrot SEO Checklist

SECTION 01

Website Setup

Make sure search engines can access your website and that traffic and seller inquiries are being measured correctly.

Install Google Analytics 4. Verify the website in Google Search Console. Submit the XML sitemap. Confirm the website uses HTTPS. Check the robots.txt file. Confirm important pages are indexable. Track contact-form submissions. Track phone-number clicks.

SECTION 02

Homepage SEO

Your homepage should clearly explain who you help, where you operate, and why homeowners should trust your company.

Use one clear and relevant H1. Mention the primary service and market. Write a unique SEO title. Write a helpful meta description. Add genuine reviews and trust signals. Explain the home-buying process. Include a clear CTA above the fold. Link to important service and location pages.

A professional design can help your company stand out from other real estate investor websites using similar templates.

Core Website Pages

Create a detailed About page. Create a clear How It Works page. Publish a Reviews page. Create a complete Contact page. Add a useful FAQ page. Create a Sell Your House page. Add privacy and legal pages. Keep business information consistent.

SECTION 04

City and Service-Area Pages

City pages should provide genuine local value instead of using the same content with only the city name changed.

Write a unique introduction for each city. Include useful local housing information. Mention relevant neighborhoods or communities. Address local seller challenges. Add market-specific FAQs. Use a unique title, description, and H1. Link to relevant situation pages. Avoid duplicated city-page content.

Build fewer high-quality city pages before expanding into dozens of thin location pages.
