We will be progressively covering these points in the next points as mentioned in this blog.
Keywords
The initial approach is to target direct searches of real estate requirements. Progressively, we will also target the searches for investments like mutual funds or equity.

As we are targeting only Surat city, the average monthly search count will be relatively lower than that for a case where we target pan India.

When we key in our requirement on Google. it will suggest some keywords. Usually, people tend to choose from the suggestions as it is quicker and gives more relevant responses.
We will study the keyword:
3 bhk flat in vesu surat

Title Tag on Website


Recommended Title Tag for the home page of Karma Group will be:
Real Estate Property Site, Buy Sell Rent Properties in Vesu Surat
We have to restrict the Title Tag to 65 characters (200 to 569 pixels).
The title tags for other pages will be updated in the SEO action sheet.
Meta Description on Website

We need to cover relevant text in the Meta Description of each page. To begin with, we are putting a generic Meta Description as below:
Buy Sell Rent Homes Houses Offices in Surat | Get better deals than MagicBricks, 99acres, Housing, Homeonline | Properties for Sale, Rent or Lease | Real Estate
HTML Headings
The heading should be relevant to the page and the following content should have the right method of mentioning the same.
Headings will play a crucial role when the Search Engine is trying to identify the crux of the content on your website's pages. Cover the most important keywords in the headings with the <H1> tag. Also, avoid duplicating the title tag content in the header tag.
Keep at maximum 1 <H1> tag on each of your web pages. Use HTML5 to include more than one per page.
You can use multiple <H2> to <H6> tags. Try to incorporate important Keywords in the <H2> to <H6> tags.
