Blog to Answer Questions

The best-performing real estate blog posts focus on answering real questions buyers and sellers ask every day. If a lead has asked you a question in a conversation, there is a good chance others are searching for that same question online.

You can also use AI to help you identify common questions for a specific city, neighborhood, or market. This allows you to build a running list of blog ideas that you can pull from whenever you are ready to write.

Examples of strong question-based topics include:

  • What is it like to live in [AREA]?
  • Is now a good time to sell in [AREA]?
  • How competitive is the market in [AREA]?
  • What should I know before moving to [AREA]?

Highlight Your Local Knowledge

Your blog is a place to share your experience, opinions, and insights. When you are not able to speak directly with a lead, your blog can speak for you.

By consistently publishing helpful content, potential customers can see your knowledge of local neighborhoods, market trends, and lifestyle considerations before ever reaching out. This builds trust and positions you as the local expert.

Effective expertise-driven topics include:

  • Neighborhood and community overviews
  • Local market updates and trends
  • Relocation and moving guidance
  • Home buying and selling tips for your area
  • Lifestyle content explaining what it is like to live in specific cities or neighborhoods

Write at a Sustainable Pace

Consistency matters more than volume. The best blogging schedule is one you can realistically maintain alongside everything else in your business.

Consider starting with a simple schedule:

  • Start with just 1 blog post per month to get comfortable with writing
  • Increase to two posts per month, then gradually add more only when it feels manageable.

Publishing regularly over time is better for SEO than posting frequently for a short period and stopping. You can also write posts in advance and schedule them to publish later, which works especially well for seasonal or holiday-related content.

Use Images, Links, and Page Breaks

Formatting plays a major role in how readers interact with your blog posts.

  • Add images or videos to break up text and make posts easier to read.
  • Use page breaks after the first or second paragraph to control how much of the post appears on your Blog Homepage and create a "read more" link.
  • Add internal links to other pages on your website to guide readers to helpful next steps.
    • Examples of useful internal links include:
      • Market reports for market update blogs
      • Search results or area pages for neighborhood content
      • Seller valuation tools when writing about selling or moving

Organize Content With Categories

Categories help visitors quickly find blog posts that match their interests and make your content easier to browse.

Common category ideas include:

  • Market updates
  • Moving and relocation tips
  • Local lifestyle and community highlights
  • Home buying tips
  • Home selling tips
  • Neighborhood guides

Use clear category names and apply them consistently so related posts are grouped together.

Promote and Reuse Your Blog Content

Your blog content should be shared often, especially with people already in your database. This helps drive traffic back to your website and keeps your brand top of mind.

Ways to reuse and promote your blog posts include:

  • Send relevant blog posts to leads in your CRM through email or workflows
  • Share posts on your professional and personal social media profiles
  • Use blog posts as landing pages or content for ads
  • Reference blog posts in follow-up conversations with leads

Use AI to Create Content Faster

We understand that you do not always have time to sit down and write. Using AI can free up time so you can focus on ideas and strategy while letting the drafting work happen faster.

AI can help you:

  • Brainstorm blog categories and topic ideas
  • Generate lists of common buyer and seller questions
  • Outline blog posts before writing
  • Draft blog content that you can review and personalize
  • Create a posting schedule you can realistically maintain

Even spending a few minutes reviewing AI-generated content can save hours and help you stay consistent.
