Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 15, 2013 - RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (OTCQB: RBIZ) announces the signing of a contract to provide Prudential Select Properties with its MicroVideo App (MVA). Prudential Select Properties, located in the greater St. Louis (MO) area, will be the first Prudential brokerage to deploy a content distribution network (CDN) hosted listing video microsite for every qualifying listing in their local MLS.
The Realbiz Media Group (RBMG) Micro Video Application (MVA) platform being deployed encompasses the next evolution in search engine marketing. It provides fully interactive, free-standing video microsites that are optimized to drive search engine optimization (SEO) and Video SEO to Prudential Select’s website. The MVA tool fits Prudential Select’s goal of becoming less dependent on purchasing ads through Google. According to Gary Lombardo, Chief Operations Officer of Prudential Select Properties, “We understand the importance of organic search results. Fighting for organic search results is a more sustainable strategy than bidding for key words and paying for search engine ads.” RealBiz has designed the MVA platform from the ground up incorporating video SEO techniques with traditional SEO best practices, thereby allowing the platform and connected website to be indexed and ranked substantially higher by search engines. Gary Lombardo further commented, “Building a search engine optimized video player is only half of the equation. We are all looking for ways to differentiate ourselves from competitor websites. And the best way to do this is to provide unique content. So with the help of RBMG, we are going to create listing and community video content with the understanding that the value of unique content to search engines will help set us apart and move us up in search results.”
The MVA will be integrated into each listing on Prudential Selects website, http://discoverstl.com/. A prominent video tab on the property’s listing page links visitors to the listing’s MVA that is both web and mobile optimized. RealBiz Media Group, Inc. automatically generates and performs daily updates to the MVA for each qualified listing. An email is sent to the listing agent containing a link to the MVAs, creating a seamless marketing asset that can be promoted and shared across all online and social platforms with no need for revision. In addition to creating a network of backlinks, RBMG implements a unique set of SEO techniques, all of which combine to create significant search engine optimization and increased organic search rankings. More importantly, this drives qualified lead generation. This is a significant advantage to brokers when recruiting agents, as their website will generate meaningful leads. Gary Lombardo added “The MVA platform will show our agents that they can rely on us to provide them with good quality leads for their listings. We don’t want our agents to have to spend thousands of dollars on buying back leads generated for their own listings by outside real estate search websites! That’s not what Prudential Select is all about.”
RealBiz Media Group, Inc. President and Chief Operating Officer, Steve Marques, added, “We are thrilled to be working with Prudential Select Properties. As early adopters, their application of RBMG video tools puts them at the vanguard of the video revolution in real estate marketing, and they will benefit greatly from our platform. Ultimately, we expect our MVA and video tools to be a key industry product that will be in use on more than 2 million listings by the end of 2013.”
