Doubling SEO traffic and rebuilding the conversion path for luxury real estate

Présentation

Homebooker is an estate agency specialising in the rental and sale of luxury properties on the French Riviera, and in Saint-Tropez above all. The market is fiercely competitive: buyers looking for high-end villas expect a flawless experience and immediate access to the information they want.

Problématique

When the engagement started, the Homebooker site had room to improve on several fronts: technical work to carry out (crawling, indexing, load speed), a contact path to smooth out for conversion, and an experience to bring in line with the Google Ads campaigns, starting with landing pages that had drifted away from the promise made in the ads.

Objectifs

  • Double organic traffic in 3 months
  • Lift the conversion rate of the site
  • Optimise the Google Ads campaigns
  • Rebuild the landing pages

SEO engagement: technical audit and on-site work

A full SEO audit covering more than 35 checkpoints was run across the whole site. The technical backlog was then prioritised and the fixes shipped in stages, alongside the development team.

Linkbuilding : campagne d'autorité en cours

Alongside the on-site work, a link-building strategy is being rolled out to strengthen domain authority on luxury property, seasonal rental and high-end concierge topics. The aim is a natural, thematically coherent link profile, targeting publications in travel, lifestyle and premium real estate.

Dashboard centralisé : pilotage data en temps réel

To steer the whole strategy from a single place, a bespoke Looker Studio dashboard was built, pulling four key sources together: Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Google Ads and Semrush. Homebooker can follow organic traffic, SEO positions, paid campaign performance and competitive standing without waiting for a report.

The dashboard is the decision-making hub of the engagement: every recommendation is backed by data, every investment is measurable.
