If not, you’ve got some work to do to compete. Here is a great example of a real estate site that is optimized for SEO – Laguna Beach & Newport Beach Real Estate Guide. Here’s the kicker though — it’s not sacrificing the user experience in order to please Google’s algorithms. There are calls to action for exactly what buyers and sellers are looking for (mainly market statistics and properties for sale) when they visit a local real estate site.

Some things to notice:

The site is built entirely with WordPress by Virtual Results. You can contact Jim Marks on twitter if you’re interested in learning more about what they offer.

[update 9/23/2011: I now work with Jim at Virtual Results. Further, the site mentioned in this post is no longer online. A more recent site we’ve launched in the Laguna Beach area is John Stanaland’s]
