🔧 6 Ways to Get More Clients with Google Maps Tools

Let’s break down the exact tools and strategies you can use to stand out in your market and bring in leads like clockwork.

1. 🗺️ Claim and Optimize Your Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is what appears on Google Maps when people search for realtors. If you don’t have one yet, go to google.com/business and claim your listing.

💡 Optimization tips:

  • Use keywords like “real estate agent in [City]”
  • Upload 10+ high-quality photos of listings, you, and your team
  • Add service areas and categories (e.g., Buyer’s Agent, Listing Agent)
  • Post updates weekly about open houses, new listings, or sold homes
  • Collect reviews from past clients

2. 🎥 Add a Street View Tour to Your Listings or Office

A 360° virtual tour helps buyers and sellers trust you instantly. Add these to:

  • 🏡 Listings
  • 🏢 Your office or co-working space
  • 🗺️ Neighborhood hotspots (to show your local knowledge)

Tools like CloudPano let you create and publish Street View tours in minutes.

Your goal? Appear in the top 3 results when someone searches:

  • “realtor near me”
  • “top real estate agent in [city]”
  • “homes for sale [ZIP code]”

To do that:

  • Use keywords in your GBP title and description
  • Post regularly (once per week)
  • Get more 5-star reviews with photos
  • Link your listing from your website and blog

4. 🔍 Find FSBOs and Expireds with Google Maps

You can prospect right from your phone. Here’s how:

  • Search neighborhoods for “For Sale by Owner” signs
  • Use Street View to check curb appeal and status
  • Contact the owner with a helpful offer:
    “Hey, I noticed your home isn’t listed with an agent. I offer 360° tours that help sell homes faster—want a free one?”

5. 💰 Sell Street View + SEO Services to Other Realtors

🎁 Offer a “Google Maps Growth Package” that includes:

  • GMB setup + optimization
  • Street View upload
  • Local SEO keyword research
  • Weekly GMB posting

Charge $500–$1,500 per client, per month—or offer one-off packages for $297+.

6. 🔄 Rank-and-Rent: Earn Passive Income from Listings

Want to go beyond real estate? Try the rank-and-rent model:

  1. Create a Google Business Profile like “Luxury Realtor Austin”
  2. Rank it with photos, keywords, reviews, and posts
  3. Send the leads to another agent in exchange for a monthly fee
