With so many companies out there promising real estate web sites that will place high on the search engines, it's hard to know who to trust.
It's not that designers mislead you on purpose - most web designers just don't know what they're doing when it comes to search engine positioning. There's much more to search engine placement than submitting - you have to design the page to be search engine friendly from the beginning. Most web designers are concerned with how graphically attractive their site is, not whether it's "attractive" to search robots!
The only thing that will ensure you're dealing with a company that knows what they're doing and who you're sure will deliver on their promises is to take a look at their track record. You be sure that your website comes up when you type in popular search terms that real, actual people would search for. Placing #1 for your company name is a given. That will happen by itself - obviously! But ranking well for "your town real estate" - that's the key, as that's what your customer is searching for!
