GBP for Real Estate: Agent & Office Profile Management

7 min read

Real Estate and Google Business Profile

76% of home buyers search on Google Maps during their property search. For real estate agencies, a strong GBP presence drives leads directly — phone calls, direction requests to your office, and website visits.

Agency vs. Agent Profiles

Real estate companies face a unique GBP challenge: managing both office listings and individual agent profiles.

  • Office profile: Use category "Real Estate Agency." Include all office details, team photos, and office hours.
  • Agent profiles: Individual agents can have their own GBP listings using category "Real Estate Agent." Link to their personal page on your website.

Optimization for Real Estate

  1. Photos: Upload office exterior, interior, team photos, and property highlights. Update monthly.
  2. Services: List all service types (buying, selling, renting, property management, commercial)
  3. Posts: Share new listings, open house announcements, market reports, and sold properties
  4. Reviews: Request reviews after every closing. Reference specific neighborhoods in responses.

Agencies with multiple offices benefit from centralized GBP management. MyGBP lets you maintain brand consistency across all offices while allowing regional managers to customize local content.
