Optimize your Rentals Property Listings for more VIEWS

    Is your listing Optimized? As search engines index your listing(s) they are looking for certain keywords in your text. Example: if you are offering an apartment in Cleveland you many want to place in the description or listing title, "Apartment in Cleveland". By having your keywords or key phrases grouped together you will increase your chances of your listing ranking well and getting VIEWS. For a better idea on what keywords work best, visit Google Suggest and begin entering some words. The more text you have in your listings the more content the search engines will spider.
    Do you have a photo in your listing? Photos can be just as important as the listing description. We highly recommend uploading photos of your rentals with your listing
