The Challenge

Embrey is a vertically integrated real estate investment and development firm operating across the U.S., with a strategic focus on multifamily communities. Forthea partnered with Embrey to elevate their organic visibility and improve the online experience for prospects, partners, and investors—ultimately aligning digital performance with the company’s reputation for excellence in real estate.

Embrey’s previous website had limited visibility in search engines and lacked performance-focused infrastructure. With their primary goal of building a stronger brand presence in competitive markets, the challenges included:

    • Low organic traffic due to thin or non-existent page content
    • Limited indexation of property pages and investor-focused content
    • Poor internal linking structure that prevented full crawlability
    • Underutilization of local and non-branded keyword opportunities

Multifamily SEO Strategy

Forthea rolled out a full-funnel SEO program tailored to Embrey’s multifamily and investment divisions:

  • Non-Branded Keyword Expansion: Conducted market-by-market keyword research to uncover localized and thematic terms for property searches, investment opportunities, and career paths.
  • Onsite Content Strategy: Developed new landing pages optimized for high-volume and mid-funnel searches, including “multifamily development in Texas” and “real estate investment opportunities.”
  • Technical SEO Improvements: Enhanced crawlability, fixed canonical errors, and structured the site to support deeper indexing of subpages and subdomains.
  • Schema & Structured Data: Implemented JSON-LD markup across community, investor, and career pages to support better search engine comprehension and rich result eligibility.

Analytics Enhancements

We implemented a customized GA4 framework designed to capture micro and macro conversions across the site—ranging from property tour interest to investor information requests. Custom events and conversion paths were built to differentiate engagement by persona, ensuring stakeholders could view site behavior by audience type (e.g., renter, investor, job seeker). This granular visibility allowed us to optimize high-intent pages based on actual user interactions, not assumptions.

Content Migration Support

As Embrey transitioned to a new website design, Forthea led an SEO-first migration strategy to prevent ranking loss and maximize post-launch performance. We conducted a comprehensive content and URL audit to identify legacy pages with existing authority, redirected and retained top-performing URLs, and ensured metadata and structured data were ported correctly. This process was critical to preserve SEO equity and ensure that the new site would launch with search engine trust intact.

Monthly Reporting Dashboards

We built custom Looker Studio dashboards integrated with GA4, Google Search Console, and keyword rank tracking tools. These reports offered page-level SEO insights, non-branded keyword movement, market-specific trends, and property-level performance views. These dashboards empowered Embrey’s internal stakeholders to monitor performance in real time and tie results back to both corporate brand visibility and individual asset success.

Brand Awareness Measurement

To evaluate the effectiveness of our SEO strategy beyond existing brand recognition, we segmented traffic sources by branded vs. non-branded terms. This segmentation allowed us to isolate the impact of new content and keyword strategies targeting renters searching for terms like “luxury apartments in San Antonio” or “multifamily developers in Texas.” By tracking how much traffic originated from brand-neutral queries, we demonstrated clear growth in top-of-funnel visibility and market expansion.
