Comprehensive Marketing Audit

We ran 33,432 checks on Stout Team's online presence: every one of your 546 web pages, line by line, plus your Google listings, agents, reviews, videos, keywords and AI answers. Then we ranked you against 36 local competitors: the top 3 in each of your 12 local markets. Every number below comes from those checks, with its source and date. Where we couldn't see something, it says Needs access or Not measured.

What closing the gap is worth

About $1.13M a year and ~64 home sales. Going to other agents right now.

This is the commission that goes to the competitors who show up first when people search in your cities. We built it from your real search demand, published benchmarks and local median prices. Move the sliders to use your own numbers.

Top 10 priorities

Ten fixes, ranked by what they block. Start at the top.

How we ranked them: by how many potential clients each gap blocks, then by how fast it can be fixed. Items 1 to 4 cost little and unlock everything after them. Each one links to the section with the full details, so nothing is repeated.

Your team and agents

You lead 70 agents and a top-ranked team. Online, most of that strength is hidden.

We scored Ross and every agent out of 100 on the same ten checks: Google listing, reviews, Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, website, social, team page, license and headshot. Ross comes first, then the team grade, your awards and your top three agents.

Google Maps and your listings

Most buyers pick an agent from the map. Google shows only 3. You weren't one of them.

When someone searches "realtor" plus a city, Google shows a small map with three agents above everything else. That's where most people choose who to call. Here's why, in plain English, with the numbers behind it.

Your agents' Google listings

22 of your agents have Google listings. Only 2 link to your website.

Your agents already have Google listings with real reviews. 2 link to teamstout.com, 14 link to other websites, and 6 have no website link at all. We searched Google Maps for both addresses, the team name, Ross and all 70 agents by name on October 13, 2026.

Treena St: a shared coworking suite, not a Stout office.

How many listings you should have

Google's rules, applied to your team.

  • One team listing per staffed office. Del Mar qualifies. Any other office with signage and staff during business hours qualifies too. Other offices: Needs access.
  • One listing per public-facing agent. Google treats real estate agents as individual practitioners. The listing name should be the agent's name only.
  • No listing at a coworking or virtual office unless it has signage, receives clients and is staffed during business hours. That rules out Treena St unless the team actually works there.

Reviews and reputation

You have 377 five-star reviews on Zillow. Google shows 0.

Reviews are one of the biggest reasons a business shows in the map, and the first thing a luxury seller checks before calling. Your clients already love you. Google just can't see it yet.

Name, address and phone

Google found 2 office addresses and 3 phone numbers for you. It can't tell which one is real.

NAP means name, address and phone. Google compares them across your site, your Google listing, Zillow and every directory. When they don't match, it trusts all of them less, which pushes you down the map.

Your site, page by page

We read every page on teamstout.com, top to bottom. Here is what each one is missing.

Pick any page to see how it is built from the top of the screen to the footer, how Google and AI tools read it, and every problem we found, with the fix. Start with the homepage. It is the page that matters most and it has the most problems.

Sitewide technical health

Google is spending its time on pages that shouldn't exist. Your real pages load slowly on phones.

These are problems that affect the whole site at once: broken links, test pages, pages that leak email addresses, the sitemap, speed, phone experience, and the header and footer that sit on every page.

Photos and images

Your site has 2,201 photos. Google can read a description for only 195 of them.

Google and AI tools can't see a photo. They read its file name, its description (called alt text) and how fast it loads. For a luxury real estate team, photos are the product, so this is search traffic left on the table.

Trust: E-E-A-T and YMYL

Google holds real estate sites to its highest trust standard. Your site's code says you've sold 0 homes.

Google calls money and housing topics "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL), and it checks them for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust (E-E-A-T). In plain English: who wrote this, are they qualified, and can we prove it. Here is what your site proves today, and what it doesn't.

Structured data (schema)

Structured data is the label that tells Google who you are. Yours calls your agents "articles."

Schema is hidden code that tells Google and AI tools exactly what a page is: a person, an office, a neighborhood, a video, a question and answer. It is what earns star ratings, video thumbnails and FAQ answers in Google results. Here is what you have, page type by page type, and what each one should have.

AI search

We asked AI tools for the best agents in your 12 market areas. They named you once and never linked to you.

More people now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI answers and similar tools to recommend an agent. Here is what they say about you today and why.

The site you should have

The most complete real estate site in your markets would have 117 kinds of pages. You have 1 that is complete.

Every row is one kind of page that buyers, sellers, owners and agents search for: selling, buying, money and loans, places, luxury, lifestyle and Chasing Palms, proof, people, careers, investors, market data and help. Each shows whether you have it, how many people search for it, and the address it should live at. Tap any row for everything that page must include.

Monthly Google searches for buying and selling terms that name your cities and neighborhoods, from Keywordtool.io. This is demand you can win without paying for ads, if the right pages and listings exist. Growth has to come from these searches, not from people who already know your name.

Every fix in this review, in order. Check them off as you go.

The same plan as the report, as a step-by-step list. It's split into three 30-day phases. Each step shows who does it (List A only you, List B you or us, List C we do it), why it matters, what has to happen first, and which part of the report it comes from.

Steps and phases match your written plan. Timing is a goal, not a guarantee. Prices are left blank until agreed.
