"Our CINC websites had no SEO behind them. When we typed into ChatGPT 'top real estate agents in Charleston,' every site that showed up was Sierra Interactive."

WHY TEAMS LEAVE CINC

The frustration is real, and reccuring.

These aren't just complaints we've heard once. They're the consistent themes that come up when CINC users reach out to us. If any of these sound familiar, that's worth paying attention to.

Weak Organic and SEO Performance
CINC is fundamentally an ads-first platform. The website component isn't built to rank organically, which means you're permanently dependent on paid traffic to generate leads.

"Our websites were the same from day one. It wasn't something I could add blogs to, or make more attractive. There was no SEO behind it."

Higher Monthly Costs, Lower Transparency
CINC is expensive, especially when considering that their dialer isn't included in your initial package. 
AI Follow-Up that Frustrates Prospects
Multiple CINC users report that AI follow-up continues contacting prospects, even after being disabled - damaging relationships before an agent even gets involved. 
Costly Google Ads Campaigns
CINC users report that the lead gen campaigns provide leads, but lead quality is abismal and rarely creates positive ROI. 

CHOOSING SIERRA

The Results, In Their Words

 

We were spending over $50,000 a month on Zillow, but the return on investment wasn’t there. Switching to Sierra Interactive has drastically improved our ROI, even as we scale up operations in both Reno and Las Vegas.

Our most popular action plan has over a 50% response rate. That's impressive, especially considering most email response rates alone are considered successful if they reach 10%. Sierra has thought of everything when it comes to supplying real estate agencies with the tools we need to be successful. It is sophisticated, it uses the latest technologies and techniques, and it is affordable. It is the trifecta of a must-have service.

Being very analytical and wanting to focus on cost-per-close as the ultimate metric for my business, Sierra made a ton of sense. Not only is it a lower monthly cost than other solutions I've seen, but it also contributes more dollars into my pocket because the cost-per-closing is lower.

Over and over again, I saw Sierra-powered websites outranking national portals. That’s when I knew – Sierra gets SEO right.
