A Real Estate Beginners Guide: The Importance of Going Mobile Responsive
When you want to look up something important, do you wait until you can get to a desktop computer, or pull out your smartphone and start searching immediately? Real estate clients and prospects are always looking for ways to streamline their search, so they tend to spend tons of time on mobile devices scouting listings, learning real estate tips, and connecting with tech-savvy real estate agents. A mobile responsive website is an absolute must if you wish to maximize your audience, cultivate leads, and earn new long-term clients for your real estate business.
Gotta Go Mobile: Why a Mobile Responsive Website Is a Must for Real Estate Businesses
Before we get into why a mobile responsive website is such a necessity, it's important to understand exactly what a mobile responsive website is, and what it does for your clients. A mobile responsive website scales to fit the size of the device being used to view it. So whether you're looking at a mobile responsive website on a phone, a tablet, or even a desktop computer, it should always look and function its best.
- Easy to Read Text and Content – Whether you produce it or your marketing team handles the details, your website content is one of the keys to real estate marketing success. A mobile responsive website makes it easy for your audience to read or watch your content, no matter which device they use to access your website. Text scales automatically, images are reorganized to fit well on the screen, and users can consume your content in the way that's most comfortable for them.
- Appealing Visuals Scaled to Fit – If you visit a website that is not mobile responsive while using a mobile device, you may find a screen filled with large, out-of-place images that make it difficult to see anything else on the page. If you're having trouble accessing the most basic functions of a website because there's so much stuff in the way, that's a big problem. With a mobile responsive website, it's also a problem that you won't have to worry about.
- Mobile Functionality – A mobile responsive website allows your audience to enjoy the same features they'd expect on your desktop website, even if they're browsing on the go. That means they'll be able to search listings, consume content, connect with your business, and take advantage of everything your website has to offer.
- Good for Google and SEO – Google wants to send search users to informative, relevant, feature-rich websites that deliver valuable services and excellent content. So, it's no surprise that Google also prioritizes mobile responsive websites, and that making your website mobile responsive is a big positive in the eyes of the world's most popular search engine. A mobile responsive website will ultimately make it easier for prospects to find you.
- One Website for All Audiences – In the past some businesses would create multiple websites—one for desktop computers, and one for mobile devices. This strategy had some big drawbacks, because two websites are harder to maintain than one, and because you'll be competing with one of your own websites for traffic. Mobile responsive design allows you to skip the drawbacks of maintaining two separate websites.
