James Gorman Property

Background

James Gorman Property is an independent estate agent covering Derry, Limavady, Eglinton and Dungiven in Northern Ireland. James had a professional Wix website but zero SEO foundation — no optimised meta titles, no location pages, no blog content, and no visibility in organic search results. In a market dominated by established agencies with years of online presence, he needed to build digital authority fast.

The Challenge

The local estate agent market in Derry is competitive. Established players like CPS Property, Martin McCrory, and Donnybrook Estate Agents had strong organic positions and years of content behind them. James needed a strategy that would get him ranking for high-intent local searches — estate agent Derry, estate agent Limavady, property valuation Derry — without years of waiting.
