Bounce rate for real estate websites

6 Tips to Improve Your Bounce Rate:

1. Professional design

Poor design is one of the quickest ways to lose visitors. Make sure your site has a well-crafted and professional user interface, navigation, and visual layout.

2. Clear call-to-action on the page

What is the purpose or action you want a visitor to perform on each of your pages? This action should be clear, descriptive, and easy to find through use of buttons and visual cues.

3. Improve page load time

Speed is critical. The longer your pages take to load, the great chance your visitors will bounce.

4. Relevant content

Is your content unique? Easy to read? Free of spelling or grammatical mistakes? The content of each page should convey relevant information that provides values and is expressed clearly for your visitors.

5. Related links

Provide links to other related or interesting content in your site (blog posts, news, featured properties etc.) to keep them engaged.

6. Responsive layout

More and more visitors are accessing your website from smart phones and tablets. Having mobile and tablet-optimized versions of your website can offer a better experience and greatly help reduce bounce rate.
