For this particular site I didnt think paying for traffic would get me sales. Now, im new at this so I may be way off base but let me explain my thinking.
Its for the most part a B2B sale. Im selling agents a chance to put their home in front of my traffic. If the traffic isnt there then theres no reason for them to list on the site. And I dont think paid traffic would suffice. Not to mention wouldnt it cost quite a bit to keep traffic high when your constantly having to pay for it?
For the site to be successful Id think it has to get on the first page of google for multiple keywords to be able to get organic traffic. The agents want to be able to see that the site ranks highly for terms like "lakehouse" etc... words their potential buyers are searching for.
Maybe im misunderstanding and you are just telling me to only test keywords first via paid traffic?
That really depends on your conversion rate of your traffic, your quality score for google, and the lifetime value of your customer. A lot of guys starting out get bent out of shape when it comes to committing to an advertising budget, but if you're even able to make .01 on every 1.00 you spend or at least break even it could still be worth it.
