Although I'm retired, I love sharing my knowledge and learning from other real estate industry professionals. - Wenatchee, WA
Retired Agent / Broker / Prop. Mgr, Wenatchee, WA

When I was an active agent, we had a very commited relationship.  I regularly fed it valuable content and it gave me kisses (prospects) in return for my dedication.    I held the top 7 spots on the first page of Google... all organic.

Kyle,

Like the other two commenters, I don't see a relationship with engine sites.  We have relationships with people not engine sites.  I am not sure what you are asking about.  A

Hmmm, we share no DNA.

My MLS is a real estate search engine upon which I am highly reliant.

I abhor Google - they change their business constantly. They tell you what to do to be found. then change their minds.

Plus I find G's results the worst of all the engines - my engine of choice today is Bing - it is what G was 10 years ago,

Love/hate relationship. I get so many responses through Zillow, but they are almost all people who don't have a chance to follow through, or take the information on there to heart. Have that right now with a listing that can't be financed, yet on Zillow it gives the impression it does.

Waste of time for Google - it's all PPC now with them - they need to go away.

Once they were the best, now their results are ridiculous

Good morning Kyle. I would say pretty well, as inquiries show up from my website as a result of someone reading my blogs.

So a zillow/trulia/realtor.com type site?  Ok, got it!  I take advantage of them and use them to my benefit.  I bend the rules and get leads for free.

Good luck on understanding real estate agents and getting them engaged. You'll learn soon enough what information overload is. Hopefully your burn rate allows you to prove your concept before you hit the dust bin. Good luck...
