When I first created the group Staging Before & After Pictures, I knew it would be a perfect opportunity for home stagers to show-case their work within Active Rain. What I didn't realize is that it would sky rocket their before & after pictures on the first page of Google.
Here's what I mean:
Using the key word phrase "Staging Before & After Pictures" the Active Rain Group Staging Before & After Pictures is the 4th one listed.
Using the key word phrase: Home Staging Before & After pictures, the group appears in the 5th position.
Home Stagers - This is a wonderful opportunity to gain visibility by simply joining the group and sharing your before & after pictures.

Great news!! Not only is it fun sharing then, but also good business sense! Great blog....
Kathy,
Thats fantastic! It's amazing how just by using key tag words you can change the way your posts will be placed on Google! Before & After of course is a common search, but if the search for "Home Staging Before & Afters" is what is being requested, this is a great thing! If the general public is requesting to see the pictures this way, then they are understanding more and more about our industry! Or it could just be all of us stagers, requesting to see other stagers work! ;)
Kathy: Not only are you a brilliant home stager and business woman, you have now rocketed to the first page of SEO genius! Thanks for the heads up.
Hi, Melissa - Welcome back. You're right, it makes good business sense and it's FREE (smile).
Michelle - I was so pleasantly surprised and thrilled when the phrases came up so high.
Michelle - thank you for your kind words!
Kathy
Hi Kathy N- What a cool discovery! Active Rain power is amazing to me. It is nice to know our work is reaching the first page so easily! Thanks for the heads up buddy! Regards-Kathleen G
Thanks Kathy!! Great advice.
Great news Kathy! Love the group too! It is always fun to see the before and afters.
Kathy, you're awesome! ActiveRain has been a terrific vehicle to gain visibility online, but this additional avenue helps all the more. Thank you for showcasing our projects! Leslie
Yippie, that is good news. You're soooooooo smart! ActiveRain is just amazing to me! Everybody loves before and after pictures.
How exciting. Now if I only had a ton more photos to post I would.
Cool! Thanks for the tip. Sounds like I need to go and post some before and afters.
Kathy you are so incredibly generous to us! Thanks for boasting our businesses with google love.
Thanks everyone! It's a great way to gain visibility of your staged homes! Keep posting.

Thx, Kathy -- your group is helpful as a learning tool and a web tool, making you the Queen of before and afters!
I guess I'd better get on it!
Thanks for the heads up, that's great news. Active Rain is an amazing marketing tool, we're very fortunate!
Thanks for the tip! Active Rain is great for getting Google links and I'm always amazed at how many people use Google to search for home staging content.
Kathy, Thanks for the information and additional visibility. And we certainly appreciate the features you've given to our listings. Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Kathy - for the group - and the heads up.
My laptop has a msn search engine. It's interesting to see the difference in it vs. a goole search. I like the google search results better. I just wonder how many people use google vs. other search engines. That would be an interesting number.
Good work Kathy. Side affects of things we do are sometimes as good as the thing in the first place. You go girl....
Wondered what Cindy is asking too...had a call from google today, home staging is about $3.15 per click and is clicked on average 73000 times a month on google...interesting huh? And a way to go broke.
gosh, I wish I had some good ones to add because I could use that kind of exposure these days! Thanks for letting us know the power behind posting to that group, though! You're one smart cookie!
Great info Kathy. I post on your group all the time and it does come up in my google alert! Kym
Thanks so much you can never get too much google juice, hmm got some work to do...
