Choose the visitor's task, prepare the page, confirm inquiry delivery, and record the source. Expand after you can inspect that whole path. For this planning method, count a received buyer or seller question as an inquiry. Keep newsletter subscribers, property-search registrations, purchased contacts, and appointments in separate categories. That definition makes the report useful when different services use the word “lead.” The examples below are proposed website assignments. They contain no demand estimate or promise that someone will contact you. ## Choose the buyer or seller conversation first. Write a sentence describing the conversation you want to support. For example: “A seller in my service area asks how I would prepare their property for market.” Build the page around the answer you can substantiate. Choose one starting path from this worksheet. Replace the examples with your actual services and approved material. | Intended visitor | Website answer to prepare | Useful inquiry context | | --- | --- | --- | | Buyer comparing representation | Your buyer-service process and the area you serve | The person's question, preferred contact method, and stated search area | | Buyer inspecting a listing | Authorized property details and a clearly identified contact route | The property reference and the person's question | | Seller considering representation | Your preparation, marketing, and communication process | The property question and timing the person chooses to share | | Reader researching a place | A bounded local guide with current sources | A specific question the guide did not resolve | Keep a property-search registration separate from a request for representation. Ask what the person did before deciding how to describe the record. For a focused seller path, use the [seller inquiry guide](/articles/seller-inquiry-path-agent-website). For a page tied to a campaign, use the [real estate landing-page brief](/articles/real-estate-landing-page). ## Give each route a maintained destination. List the routes you plan to use: search, a public business profile, a newsletter you are authorized to send, or a permitted referral. Name the exact page each route should open. Match the invitation to the destination. A link offering your seller preparation process should open that explanation. Put the question and contact action where the reader can find them without navigating unrelated property inventories. Google's helpful-content guidance asks whether material serves an intended audience and provides original information. Use those questions when reviewing a local guide or service explanation. [Google's people-first content guidance](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/creating-helpful-content), checked 2026.10.23. Connect the page to relevant parts of your website. Google's link guidance recommends descriptive anchor text and a link to each important page from another page. [Google's crawlable-link guidance](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/links-crawlable), checked 2026.10.23. Treat local search as a separate source to inspect. Google says local results depend mainly on relevance, distance, and popularity, and that better local ranking cannot be purchased. [Google's local-ranking guidance](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en), checked 2026.10.23. ## Start without inventing a track record. New agents can begin this worksheet with current professional facts and the services their brokerage permits them to describe. Ask the broker to confirm identity, affiliation, public wording, and responsibility for inquiries. When you lack a publishable transaction history, describe your actual process. Prepare a buyer consultation explanation or a sourced local resource. Keep experience claims within the work you can document. Do not borrow a colleague's transactions or turn a brokerage total into a personal result. Leave a testimonial section out until you have approved material. The [agent bio guide](/articles/agent-bio) provides a place to organize verified professional facts. Choose a page you can maintain while learning your market. Give each local claim its source and review date. Keep an unanswered question in the research list instead of filling the space with generic praise. ## Define what “free leads” means in your plan. Record the work and spending behind each route, even when you buy no contact list or advertising. Include writing, research, hosting arrangements, subscriptions, and the time you reserve for replies. Use “no purchased contacts” or “no advertising spend” when those descriptions are accurate. Avoid treating either as evidence that inquiries will arrive. If you evaluate a supplier, compare its deliverable with your website inquiry definition. Request the original action, distribution rules, minimum commitment, and permitted export. Use the existing [lead-generation company comparison](/articles/compare-real-estate-lead-generation-companies) for that buying process. Keep a supplier's delivered records in their own source category. Compare them with website inquiries only after you define the same stages and exclusions. ## Confirm receipt before expanding promotion. Prepare an authorized test with contact details you control. Ask the maintainer to follow the page's contact path and inspect the received message or contact record. Record the submitted question, page, property context where relevant, intended recipient, and received result. Check that a repeat inquiry remains visible. Give any failure an owner before directing more people to that page. Use the [website and CRM field-map guide](/articles/real-estate-crm-and-website) when delivery crosses systems. Put the receiving fields and duplicate behavior into the acceptance record. Keep test messages outside your acquisition totals. A passed submission establishes delivery for that test. It does not establish that future visitors will inquire or become clients. ## Keep traffic, inquiries, and conversations in separate columns. Use a simple reporting table with the period, source, destination, received inquiries, confirmed conversations, and appointments. Define exclusions for tests, spam, and duplicates before comparing periods. Google documents a `generate_lead` analytics event for lead generation, including forms. An implementation must still define what triggers that event on your website. [Google's recommended lead events](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ga4/reference/events#generate_lead), checked 2026.10.23. Keep the event report beside the receiving record. Investigate a mismatch before calling an event a delivered inquiry. Leave the source unknown when you lack evidence connecting it to the question. Review the path that needs repair: the source, the page's answer, delivery, or your response process. Record simultaneous changes before attributing an outcome to one edit. ## Bring the inquiry plan to your website brief. Prepare your website address, chosen buyer or seller question, approved material, source plan, and intended recipient. Add the observed delivery faults and the checks needed to accept a repair. Send that information through [the Scale With Search scope form](/work). The published process returns a written scope with the result, material, exclusions, price, and acceptance checks.
