Our Advice: Don’t overthink it! Short and simple is best.
Here are a few tips for selecting your keyword.
Keywords must be at least 3 characters long. They can be as long as you want, but the shorter the better. The less you ask someone to type, the less chance they’ll make a mistake.
Keywords can only include letters. No numbers, spaces or special characters.
Keywords are usually based on one of three things: Locale, Company or Name
- Locale – City, State neighborhood, or their abbreviations are great. For example, some Austin customers use ATX as the keyword.
- Brand – Brand name if it’s short enough or an abbreviation. For example, GTR could be used for Great Town Realty.
- Name – First Name, Last Name or Initials are very popular. For example BTR for Bob the Realtor.
