In today’s digital world, homebuyers and sellers don’t just rely on word-of-mouth referrals — they go straight to Google, Instagram, and Facebook to find real estate agents who are active, credible, and local. At Sun National Title Company here in Fort Myers, FL, we work with exceptional real estate agents every day. One trend we’ve noticed? The agents who consistently generate leads online are those who treat their social media presence like a business tool — not just a billboard.

If you're a real estate agent in Fort Myers or Southwest Florida, here’s how to optimize your social media profiles to show up in local search results, connect with more clients, and build long-term visibility for your brand.

1. Include Location-Specific Keywords in Your Bio or About Section

Your bio is prime real estate (pun intended!). Make sure your Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn bios include:

Your title (e.g., Fort Myers Realtor)
Your service areas (Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, etc.)
A clear connection to real estate (e.g., “Helping buyers and sellers close with confidence in Fort Myers, FL”)

💡 Tip from Our Team:Mention who you work with. If you partner with a local title company (like us!), include it:“Trusted Realtor in Fort Myers – Proud to work with Sun National Title Company for smooth, secure closings.”

2. Geo-Tag Your Posts and Stories

Social platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and even TikTok allow you to tag your location. Doing this consistently helps boost your visibility when people search for real estate in your area.

📍Tag photos at closings, open houses, and even your office — not just “Florida,” but specifically “Fort Myers, FL” or neighborhoods like “McGregor” or “Downtown Fort Myers.”

3. Use Local and Industry-Relevant Hashtags

Hashtags help your content get discovered. Combine real estate-specific terms with local keywords to increase your odds of showing up in both platform searches and Google results.

Here are some to start with:

The key is consistency. Use them across all your platforms regularly.

4. Create and Share Local Content

Google favors relevance and specificity. Create content that helps position you as a local expert:

"5 Things to Know Before Buying a Home in Fort Myers"
"My Favorite Neighborhoods for First-Time Buyers in SWFL"
"Why I Trust Sun National Title Company for My Closings"

By including local references in your captions, blogs, or videos, you increase the chances of your content appearing in local searches.

5. Engage with Other Local Businesses and Tag Them

Networking online is just as important as in person. Partner with local businesses, lenders, inspectors, or title companies (like us!) to build authority.

Tag @SunNationalTitleCompany when you close with us
Share stories from our office or staff
Comment and interact with other Fort Myers-based profiles

This not only builds your network but helps the algorithm associate your profile with our region.

6. Add a Link to Your Website or Contact Page

Your social media profiles should act as funnels. Always include a link to:

Your professional website
A home search landing page
A link-in-bio tool with multiple options

Make sure your contact info is consistent across all platforms — especially your name, phone number, and email.

7. Stay Active — Algorithms Reward It

Platforms love profiles that post consistently. Whether it’s market updates, home tours, tips, or behind-the-scenes moments, regular posting builds engagement and keeps your profile fresh in local search results.

🗓 Pro tip: Schedule at least 2–3 posts per week, and mix in stories, reels, or video content to increase reach.
