It’s a strategy that works for niche mortgage products as well. Anyone can do a 20% down Conventional loan, but for 203K, USDA, HomePath Renovation a lot of buyers / borrowers want to work local.

Renovation loans especially, homeowner’s often need contractor assistance, special inspections, etc. You need to have local connections for that.

@Doug Certainly, the term “hyper local” is not a keyword phrase.

“Hyper local” means drilling down into your KEYWORD generated list for low competition-some traffic “hyper local” keywords.

You don’t get the huge traffic numbers, but you don’t get the insane competition either.

I LOVE this strategy for 2 reasons:

1. Newbies get quicker return on their investment.
2. Newbies see the reward and stick with it. Quality content produced & distributed consistently over time creates the real value. You see, the more backlinks you generate, the MORE difficult it is for competitors to knock you off your page 1 position, provided you never stop creating & distributing quality content.

Good job, Jeremy.

Now, if we could just train consumers to search Google starting with “Hyper local blah blah blah “. I don’t think using that term is your point but many agents are naming their blog posts like ” Hyper Local Vienna VA real estate ” as though consumers are using that term. Are they? I know that they aren’t.

My understanding is that the concept is to use hyper local topics for your blog posts such as mentioning “Bazin’s Restaurant on Church Street” and what you had for dinner there or a discussion you had with Patrick, the owner/chef who… get my point?

Yes, I did not understand this concept when I first heard about it about a year ago, and titled some of my posts as “Hyper Local Sales Stats…” and I still see agents using that title late in 2010. My Vienna VA sales stats posts did get looked at but the readers never used the term “hyper local”.

Hope I wasn’t rambling too much…
