The initial challenge

When Homelike Home approached Astrak in August 2025, the website had a good volume of content but suffered from several hindrances to its organic visibility. The Google My Business listings had never been optimized, internal linking was insufficient to boost strategic pages, and indexing showed anomalies that prevented certain key pages from ranking in search results.

The goal was clear: strengthen Homelike Home's presence in highly competitive local searches such as «apartment hunter Paris,» «real estate hunter Lyon,» or «apartment hunter Bordeaux.» These are searches where competition is particularly fierce, with players well established for years.

What to remember

The Homelike Home case perfectly illustrates the impact of a well-executed local SEO strategy. By combining content optimization, creation of city-specific pages, strategic internal linking, work on Google My Business listings, and acquisition of relevant backlinks, Astrak enabled this real estate buyer's agent agency to almost double its organic traffic in just 6 months.

The year-over-year comparison (up 217%%) confirms that this growth is not due to seasonality but rather to the interventions carried out. Thibault Marchal's work on this account demonstrates that rigorous and methodical local SEO can generate significant results, even in a sector as competitive as Parisian real estate.

Continued support and the coming months should further consolidate these achievements, with the goal of sustainable positioning across all targeted local queries.
