In today’s digital-first world, your online presence is your storefront—and it’s open 24/7. If your website, bios, and business profiles aren’t compelling, current, and optimized to convert, you’re missing opportunities every day. This week, we’re focusing on building a digital presence that builds trust and drives action.

🧱 1. Refresh Your Website & Bios

Your website and bio pages aren’t just for show—they’re credibility builders. Whether someone finds you through a referral or a random search, they will Google you. What will they see?

  • Update your headshots to reflect your current brand and style.
  • Rewrite bios with clear language that emphasizes your unique value and local expertise.
  • Include strong calls to action—"Schedule a consultation", "Download our buyer guide", etc.
  • Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, fast, and SEO-optimized.

Tip: If your bio reads like a rƩsumƩ, rewrite it to feel like a story. Let your personality shine.

šŸ“ 2. Optimize Google Business & Zillow

Most real estate searches start with a map—and Google or Zillow is often the first stop. Make sure you're showing up and standing out.

  • Claim and verify your Google Business Profile.
  • Keep your business hours, phone number, and service areas accurate.
  • Add high-quality photos of you, your listings, and your local area.
  • On Zillow, ensure your past sales, reviews, and bio are up to date.
  • Use keywords that reflect how your clients search (ā€œSpanish Fork first-time buyer expertā€).

Bonus: Google rewards frequent updates. Post small updates or photos weekly to boost visibility.

🌟 3. Leverage Social Proof & Reviews

Nothing sells trust like a real client’s story. Use reviews as a central part of your digital strategy.

  • Ask for reviews after every transaction—Google and Zillow are top priorities.
  • Highlight powerful testimonials on your website and social media.
  • Turn reviews into graphics or short video clips to repost regularly.
  • Create a ā€œSuccess Storiesā€ or ā€œHappy Clientsā€ page.

Pro tip: Ask clients to mention specific pain points you solved—that builds trust fast.

šŸ’” Wrap-Up: Convert Clicks Into Clients

Your digital presence should do three things:

  1. Build credibility
  2. Showcase your value
  3. Make it easy to contact you

Take time this week to audit and upgrade your online presence. Your future clients are already online—let’s make sure they find someone they trust: you.
