The reality is this: SEO isn't being replaced. It's being extended. The rules are shifting a bit, sure. But if you're building strong, helpful content and thinking strategically about your brand's visibility, you're in good shape. And if you're not doing that yet, now's a great time to start.Â

Amy Lilly, otherwise known as the agent behind Deals in Heels, became a licensed REALTOR® in 2018; however, her real estate journey began long before then.Â
