Why You Need a High-Converting Website

Missed Opportunities & Online Visibility
If you have no website or online footprint how are potential clients supposed to find you? Do your direct competitors already have a site?. When other apartment locators are pulling in leads online how can you stay competitive? Showing up in Google search results is crucial in a competitive rental market.

Credibility & Trust
A website gives your business professional credibility. Without searchable apartment listings on your website, prospects may question how many properties you work with and how much experience you have. You may lose clients to competitors who seem more established and trustworthy due to their website presence. Online reviews are also critical for credibility and Google gives every small business a free business profile that you should take advantage of.

Effective Lead Generation
Your website acts as a central hub for capturing leads. We include an IDX website form on every page of your website, and we install the IDX apartment map and IDX data feed. Every contact captured by your IDX tools is automatically saved and organized in your Locator IDX CRM. The Contact CRM stores every lead from your IDX tools in one easy-to-use system. See each prospect’s contact info and the apartments they’ve saved, so you can send personalized recommendations and stay on top of your business.

Marketing & SEO Advantages
A website gives you the capability to run email campaigns, digital advertising, and content marketing. A blog is very important to get your website to rank on Google. Without a blog, your website will most likely not rank in the top search results. Use your blog to answer the most common questions renters ask about apartment locating and renting an apartment. Answering these questions will trigger Google to rank your website higher. In addition to your blog, publishing apartment listings on your website through IDX integration will boost SEO even higher by keeping your site fresh. Any website that shows listings on their website is assigned a freshness date by Google bots that record how often the listings are updated. Our IDX data feed will run weekly to keep your website up to date and increase your rank with a high freshness date.

Client Experience & Availability
Clients expect online access to apartment information 24/7. Your website lets renters start a custom apartment search at their convenience using our Locator IDX live apartment search. They can save their favorite properties right from your site. This improves client satisfaction and keeps them on your site longer, which also improves your website rank. Offering a live apartment search on your website strengthens your brand and improves the client experience.

Why Choose Jodi Southwick To Build Your Website

Expert Website Design by A Locating Industry Expert

Industry Expertise: Jodi is the CEO of Rental Advisors, creator of Locator IDX, and the President of the National Association of Apartment Locators. She has been designing apartment locating websites since 2016 and has been in the industry since 2005. No other website designer can compare to her understanding of the industry.
Proven Track Record: She has built 75+ apartment locating websites since 2016. She has delivered 100% of those websites on the agreed timeline and has an impeccable reputation for being an honest and trustworthy website developer.
Fast & Streamlined: To optimize the design process Jodi has written simple checklists that tell the apartment locator exactly what documentation they need to provide before the design begins. This eliminates stress on the apartment locator and allows Jodi to fully launch the site in approximately 30 days. No other website designer can compete with her speed to launch a website or how simple the process is for the apartment locator.
IDX Data Feed Integration: We integrate every website we build with our Locator IDX Data Feed. No other website designer can implement our IDX Data Feed with zero mistakes. Jodi created the data feed and has implemented it on 300+ websites, so she knows exactly what is required.
Customizable WordPress Themes: Jodi already owns the highest ranked WordPress real estate themes, so you don’t need to purchase one. Building a real estate theme from scratch would cost $10,000 – $15,000+ so we start with one of our recommended themes to save you money, then customize it so your website matches your brand.

Imported Property Listings: You can import as many property listings as you want from your Locator IDX database. Simply search the MLS and save your favorite properties to a data feed and Jodi will import them into your website. The data feed will automatically run every week to keep your listings accurate.
Transparent Pricing: We charge $3,500 – $5,000 depending on the features and integrations you desire. Payment in full is required to put your website on our project calendar because we deliver the site so quickly there isn’t time to make payments. To guarantee a quick delivery, we only accept two websites per month and we only design websites from October to February.
Project Management & Guarantees: After you purchase the website, we will supply a detailed checklist with items we need before we can start the project. Typically, we give you two weeks to supply the checklist items, and we will provide a contract with the start and completion date of the website. As soon as you grant us access to your domain, we will load the real estate theme so you can see the design in action. As a customer you can delay the design of the website for any reason, but we do not give full refunds. If we do not finish the website in our agreed upon timeline and it’s our fault, we will issue a partial refund as a guarantee.
