Introduction 

In today’s competitive real estate market, being visible isn’t enough — you must appear for the exact search terms that signal purchase-ready intent. That’s where high-intent keyword strategies come into play.

According to Google, commercial intent searches (“buy”, “lease”, “apply”) have a 50% higher conversion rate than informational queries. For real estate agencies using Propertybase inside Salesforce, the stakes are even higher. Each missed high-intent query can translate to a lost lead — one your competitors might nurture to closing.

Propertybase’s Salesforce foundation gives agencies the ability to integrate lead capture, CRM, and marketing automation into a single platform. The challenge? Most agencies still rely on broad, generic keywords (“homes in Sydney”) instead of focusing on transaction-ready searches (“buy 3-bedroom townhouse Sydney CBD”).

Last year, Twopir Consulting worked with multiple Propertybase clients and saw conversion rates jump by 35–60% after restructuring their keyword strategies toward high-intent targets. We didn’t just change words — we re-architected their Salesforce lead flows, landing page architecture, and listing data structures to serve the right content to the right lead at the right time.

In this guide, we’ll break down how to architect, implement, and measure a high-intent keyword strategy for Propertybase-powered real estate sites — from SEO planning to Salesforce integration.

What is High-Intent Keyword Strategy in Real Estate?

A high-intent keyword is a search term that suggests the user is ready to take a valuable action — schedule a viewing, apply for financing, or make an offer. In real estate, these typically fall into three categories:

1. Transactional Queries – “buy 2-bedroom condo Melbourne Docklands”

2. Commercial Investigation Queries – “best waterfront homes under $2M Gold Coast”

3. Local + Transaction Queries – “lease office space in Brisbane CBD”

Core Components of High-Intent Keyword Strategy in Propertybase:

• Custom Listing Fields in Salesforce
  Store and map attributes like “price range”, “bedrooms”, “property type” to match user searches more precisely.

• Dynamic Landing Page Architecture
  Generate Propertybase pages that match keyword themes — e.g., /buy/3-bedroom-apartments-sydney-cbd.

• Lead Flow Triggers
  Use Salesforce automation (Flows, Process Builder) to route leads from high-intent keyword pages to dedicated sales reps instantly.

Example Configuration:

1. Create a custom field in Salesforce for “Search Keyword Source”.

2. Map this to the Propertybase web-to-lead form hidden field.

3. Set automation: If Search Keyword Source contains “buy” + city name → assign to top performer in that region.

Key Terminology:

• Exact Match Landing Pages – Pages built specifically for high-intent queries.

• Keyword-to-Lead Mapping – Tracking which keywords generated which leads.

• Conversion Path – The full journey from keyword click to closed sale.

By aligning these components, agencies can not only rank for the right searches but also ensure leads are fast-tracked in Salesforce for maximum closing potential.

Architecture:

Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. Entry Point – Search Engine Click
   User searches “buy 4-bedroom home Toorak Melbourne” and clicks the corresponding Propertybase page.

2. Page-Level Data Capture
   Propertybase page dynamically inserts the keyword and passes it into a hidden form field.

3. Salesforce Lead Record Creation
   Lead is created with keyword and listing data attached.

4. Automated Lead Routing
   Salesforce Flow detects keyword type (“buy” intent) and routes directly to the right agent queue.

5. Marketing Automation
   Follow-up emails, SMS, and property alerts sent via Marketing Cloud, personalized with the exact property type the lead searched for.

This architecture ensures no high-value search is wasted — from SEO to sales hand-off.

Why Use High-Intent Keyword Targeting in Propertybase?

Challenge 1: Agencies spend thousands on ads and SEO but attract mostly low-value, early-stage leads.
Solution: High-intent targeting reduces noise and prioritizes leads most likely to close.

Challenge 2: Manual sorting of leads wastes sales team time.
Solution: Automated routing in Salesforce ensures high-intent leads reach the right rep in minutes, not days.

Example Use Cases:

• Regional Agencies – Prioritize “buy” leads in high-value suburbs and route instantly to local agents.

• Commercial Developers – Target “lease” queries for new office complexes and assign to B2B specialists.

When implemented with Twopir’s method, this approach also shortens sales cycles by up to 40%.
