Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from letting agents in Bedford every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Landlords choosing a competitor agent
Landlords check Google before choosing a letting agent. The most professional online presence wins.
Competing agents dominating your local area
Other letting agents have optimised their online presence and are capturing the landlords who should be yours.
No landlord-specific content on your website
Your website needs to speak directly to landlords — management fees, tenant vetting, compliance. If it doesn't, they'll find an agent whose site does.
Buy-to-let investors going to bigger agencies
Landlords with portfolios want a professional, established agent. If your online presence doesn't match, they'll go with a bigger firm.
