RealBiz Media to build video microsites for Prudential Select Properties listings

Prudential Select Properties says it hopes to be less dependent on ads from Google by creating video “microsites” for every qualifying listing.

The St. Louis-based brokerage has signed a contract with RealBiz Media Group Inc., which will provide Prudential Select Properties with its “MicroVideo App.” The MicroVideo App provides “fully interactive, freestanding video microsites that are optimized to drive search engine optimization” to Prudential Select Properties’ website, the companies said.

“We understand the importance of organic search results,” said Prudential Select Properties COO Gary Lombardo in a statement. “Fighting for organic search results is a more sustainable strategy than bidding for keywords and paying for search engine ads.”

The brokerage, which has more than 500 agents working out of 10 offices, will also work with RealBiz Media to create listing and community video content “with the understanding that the value of unique content to search engines will help set us apart and move us up in search results,” Lombardo said.

The MicroVideo App will be integrated into each listing on Prudential Select Properties’ website, driving qualified lead generation, which RealBiz Media touts as “a significant advantage to brokers when recruiting agents.”

RealBiz Media Group President and COO Steve Marques said the company expects the MicroVideo App and video tools “to be a key industry product that will be in use on more than 2 million listings by the end of 2013.”

All Technology Isn’t Created Equally- 2012 Review and 2013 Look Ahead

All companies claim they have the best tools and technology available for their agents. Yet, most of them don’t even know the difference between a webpage and a website. The problem is almost all companies use the exact same tools and technology offered by their local Boards, MLS, IDX and national websites. They never separate themselves from their competitors. They lack originality, useful tools, reports and lead generation. They all look-alike!!!

Nothing could be further from that at Prudential Select Properties. We are blessed to have a marketing department and relationship with REWS- Real Estate Web Solutions. They’re always looking for ways to improve on the tools and technology,  while keeping it branded to the agent, beneficial to the client and different from our competitors. The gap between us and our competition isn’t even close.

The Marketing Department and REWS have accomplished so much in 2012 and I can’t believe all the technology coming down the pipe in 2013. Click on the picture below for a review of 2012 with our technology and a look ahead at upcoming features available through our agent websites, intranet and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system.
