SEO for Real Estate Agents & Property Developers in Africa
Connect with motivated property buyers and sellers through organic search — no paid portal fees, no ad spend per lead. Specialized real estate SEO for property agents, agencies, and developers across Africa.
The Real Estate SEO Challenges We Solve
Sites like Jumia House and Lamudi dominate search results. SEO helps you rank for specific queries they can't capture — agent trust, neighborhood guides, and off-market properties.
Without proper schema markup, location targeting, and keyword optimization, your property listings are invisible to buyers searching specifically for what you have.
Property searches in Africa are overwhelmingly mobile. A slow-loading site with uncompressed property images loses buyers before they view the listing.
Monthly portal fees with no compounding return — you pay for every month of visibility. SEO builds an owned channel that keeps delivering without recurring fees.
Buyers who search "3 bedroom apartment Douala" often contact the first agent they find. If that's not you, that lead is gone.
Sellers and buyers want to work with trusted experts. Without neighborhood guides, market reports, and educational content, you look no different from any other agent.

Real Estate SEO — Frequently Asked Questions
How can I compete with Jumia House and other property portals?
Property portals compete on volume — they rank for broad queries like "apartments for sale". You compete on specificity: "3-bedroom apartment with pool in Bastos Yaoundé" or "commercial property Akwa Douala". These long-tail, high-intent queries are where portals are weakest, and where your specific local expertise lets you win.
How long before real estate SEO generates leads?
Google Maps rankings for your agency typically improve within 60–90 days. Listing page rankings take 3–5 months. Neighborhood and area authority pages take 4–8 months but generate the highest-quality leads (motivated buyers doing serious research). Most clients see the first organic leads within 90 days.
How much does real estate SEO cost in Africa?
TENET's real estate SEO packages start from 150,000 FCFA/month. Given that a single commission typically covers 3–24 months of SEO cost, the ROI case is straightforward. We offer custom pricing based on your market, number of listings, and service areas.
Do you handle both residential and commercial property SEO?
Yes — we build separate keyword strategies for residential (apartments, villas, land) and commercial (office space, retail, warehouses) properties. Each has different search intent, buyer journey, and content needs.
Can you help property developers (not just agents)?
Yes — property developer SEO focuses on pre-launch and launch-phase content: development project pages, virtual tour SEO, floor plan optimization, and neighborhood context content. We create a searchable presence for your development before it's even built.
