LWK - Leonard Wilson Keenan Estate Agents
Leonard Wilson Keenan (LWK.ie) approached our digital marketing agency as an ambitious Irish estate agency seeking to establish market dominance through innovative digital solutions. This 100% Irish-owned company with international reach, powered by Keller Williams - the world's largest property brand, combined local expertise with global resources to serve Dublin's competitive property market.
The agency's distinctive positioning centered around exceeding seller expectations while simplifying the property industry experience for Irish clients. With a combined expertise of over 50 years, Leonard, Wilson & Keenan built their reputation on adding the personal touch many estate agents had forgotten about, while leveraging the full resources and insight of one of the largest real estate brands globally.
LWK's comprehensive service portfolio encompassed both sales and lettings across Dublin's diverse property landscape. Their team of carefully selected professionals provided property valuations, sales management, rental services, and investment advisory to property owners, investors, and first-time buyers navigating Ireland's dynamic property market.
As a large, citywide agent with a strong and distinctive brand, LWK had established themselves as one of the most recognizable estate agents in their area, benefiting from a substantial marketing budget that could achieve maximum exposure for client properties. However, their digital presence failed to match their market reputation and service capabilities.
The agency's target market included Dublin property sellers seeking premium service levels, investors requiring professional rental management, international clients attracted by Ireland's property opportunities, and local buyers seeking personalized guidance through complex property transactions in a challenging market environment.
Despite their market knowledge and industry connections, LWK's existing digital infrastructure limited their ability to compete effectively with digitally-advanced competitors dominating online property searches and lead generation in Ireland's evolving real estate landscape.
The existing LWK.ie website presented significant obstacles preventing effective lead generation despite the agency's established market position and comprehensive service offerings. The outdated digital presence failed to communicate their premium service standards, international backing, or local market expertise to property owners and buyers researching estate agents online.
Technical performance issues severely impacted user experience across all device types, particularly problematic in Ireland's mobile-first property market where potential clients frequently researched properties and agents while viewing homes or traveling between appointments. Website loading speeds remained unacceptably slow, causing high bounce rates among qualified prospects comparing multiple estate agents.
Property upload and management systems proved inadequate for a modern estate agency requiring efficient property marketing and client communication. Manual property listing processes delayed market entry times while limiting the agency's ability to showcase their full portfolio effectively across digital channels and property portals.
Search engine visibility remained virtually non-existent for crucial estate agent keywords. LWK appeared nowhere in search results when potential clients searched for terms like "estate agents Dublin" or "property sales Ireland," missing opportunities in a market where experts predicted moderate price increases with average growth of 5% expected for 2025, requiring around 20,000 extra homes annually to tackle Ireland's housing crisis.
The competitive Irish estate agency market presented additional challenges. Established brands with superior SEO strategies and modern websites dominated search results, while digital marketing trends for 2025 emphasized AI integration, local marketing, voice search optimization, and bite-sized video content with hyper-personalized customer journeys.
Social media presence remained minimal despite the growing importance of visual property marketing and client engagement through social platforms. With virtual viewings powered by PropTech reducing property viewing times by 30% and enabling quicker, informed buyer decisions, LWK's limited digital engagement capabilities significantly impacted their competitive positioning.
Content marketing opportunities were completely underutilized, missing chances to establish thought leadership in Ireland's property market discussions. The agency lacked educational content addressing common property concerns, market analysis, regulatory changes, and investment guidance that could attract qualified leads throughout extended property decision-making processes.
Pay-per-click advertising remained non-existent, allowing competitors to capture high-intent property searches while LWK relied entirely on traditional marketing methods and referral networks insufficient for scaling their business in Dublin's competitive market environment.
Our comprehensive digital transformation strategy addressed LWK.ie's challenges through complete website rebuilding, advanced SEO implementation, sophisticated PPC campaigns, innovative property upload systems, professional video content creation, and strategic social media management designed specifically for Ireland's dynamic property market.
The website rebuild formed our transformation foundation, creating a professional platform that properly showcased LWK's market expertise while providing seamless user experiences for property owners and buyers. The new site emphasized their international backing through Keller Williams while maintaining their distinctive Irish identity and personalized service approach.
Advanced property upload features revolutionized LWK's operational efficiency and marketing capabilities. We implemented automated systems enabling rapid property listing across multiple platforms, integrated photography workflows, and client communication tools that streamlined the entire property marketing process from initial valuation to successful completion.
Search engine optimization targeting captured property owners and buyers searching for estate agent services throughout Dublin and surrounding areas. We developed comprehensive content strategies addressing property market concerns while positioning LWK as the obvious choice for clients seeking professional service levels combined with local market expertise.
Pay-per-click advertising campaigns delivered immediate visibility for high-intent property keywords while organic SEO results developed. Separate campaigns targeted property sales, rental services, and investment opportunities, generating qualified leads across LWK's diverse service offerings throughout seasonal market cycles.
Video content creation represented our innovative approach to property marketing excellence. Professional cinematography showcased properties effectively while creating engaging content that educated potential clients about property processes, market trends, and the benefits of choosing experienced estate agents over discount alternatives.
Social media management strategies leveraged visual storytelling capabilities perfect for showcasing property portfolios and building client relationships. Instagram and Facebook campaigns targeted specific Dublin demographics with sophisticated interest-based targeting reflecting property buying and selling behaviors throughout different life stages and investment scenarios.

We studied how property owners researched estate agents, identifying key concerns and information requirements throughout their extended property marketing and purchase decision-making journeys.

We created detailed service pages explaining property sales processes, comprehensive area guides covering Dublin neighborhoods, and educational articles addressing regulatory changes, market trends, and investment strategies that positioned LWK as trusted property advisors.
Technical optimization transformed website performance across all connection speeds and device types. Loading times improved dramatically, crucial for property professionals and clients accessing information while viewing properties or researching market options. Advanced security measures protected client data while ensuring GDPR compliance throughout all digital processes.
Search engine optimization targeted Ireland-specific property keywords while addressing broader Dublin area market opportunities. We optimized pages for terms like "estate agents Dublin," "property sales Ireland," and "property investment Dublin." Local SEO implementation ensured LWK appeared for location-specific searches across target Dublin areas and surrounding counties.
On-page optimization enhanced every element of website structure for maximum search visibility. Meta titles and descriptions captured property search intent while emphasizing LWK's professional credentials and market expertise. Header tags created logical content hierarchies, while internal linking connected related services and area-specific information throughout the comprehensive site structure.
Pay-per-click campaign development focused on high-intent property keywords indicating immediate service requirements. Campaign structures separated property sales inquiries, rental management requests, and investment consultation searches. Ad copy emphasized LWK's professional standards, market knowledge, and comprehensive service capabilities while highlighting their international backing and local expertise.
Video content production captured LWK's professional approach through property showcase videos, agent introduction content, and educational material addressing common property concerns. Content included property tour cinematography, market analysis presentations, and client testimonial interviews that built trust and credibility with potential clients considering property transactions.
Social media management implementation created consistent brand presence across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn platforms. Content strategies included property showcase posts, market update sharing, client success stories, and educational content that engaged existing clients while attracting potential customers through targeted social advertising campaigns.
Property upload system integration streamlined operational workflows through automated processes connecting property management systems with website functionality and external property portals. Advanced features included photo management, description optimization, pricing updates, and status tracking that enhanced efficiency while improving property marketing effectiveness.
