Scaling Approach
We start with current team resources and scale up as needed. This progression depends on your available resources, scope, and pace preferences.
- You (strategy, relationships, approvals)
- VA (data entry, scheduling, admin tasks)
- Bryan (technical build, integrations)
Foundation phase - establish workflows and prove concept before adding resources.

- AI generates graphics and market visuals
- Parallel workflows - multiple tracks at once
Productivity multiplier - same team, 50-60% faster output with AI tools.
- Dedicated visual design resources
- Custom identity per site
- Maximum parallelization of all tracks
Premium acceleration - consider if timeline is critical or for future site launches.

Q11: Who else in your network could contribute to this project?Other agents in your office, referral partners, KW Commercial corporate resources, existing vendors?
-
Q12: What's your comfort level with AI-assisted content creation?AI drafts that you review vs. fully manual. Most brokers find AI saves 50%+ time on market reports, listing descriptions, social posts.

Future Considerations (Deferred)
Common Pitfalls & Risk Awareness
Multi-site CRE digital strategies have common failure modes documented in the industry. Understanding these upfront can inform planning decisions.
Multi-Site Management 4 pitfalls
| Pitfall | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Content drift | Sites become inconsistent in messaging/branding over time | Style guide, templates, regular audits |
| Maintenance burden | 3x updates, security patches, hosting issues | Shared hosting/platform, VA checklist |
| SEO cannibalization | Your own sites compete for same keywords | Distinct keyword focus per site |
| Analytics complexity | Hard to track full journey across sites | Cross-domain tracking, unified dashboard |
CRE-Specific Challenges 4 pitfalls
| Pitfall | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Long attribution window | Deal closes 12+ months after first touch ā hard to prove ROI | Track touchpoints, not just "last click" |
| Tire-kicker leads | "Free valuation" attracts people not ready to sell | Qualify with form questions, phone screen |
| Relationship business | Digital supplements but doesn't replace referrals | Content supports conversations, doesn't replace them |
| Market cycles | Strategy launches during downturn, looks like failure | Set realistic expectations, track leading indicators |
Content & Lead Management 5 pitfalls
| Pitfall | Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Publishing fatigue | Can't maintain 3x/week cadence long-term | Start smaller, build systems first |
| AI content penalties | Google devalues low-quality generated content | AI assists, human reviews and adds expertise |
| Stale market data | Reports with outdated vacancy rates damage credibility | Quarterly refresh schedule, date-stamp everything |
| Follow-up overwhelm | More leads than capacity to handle well | Automated nurture for cold, focus time on hot |
| Response time | CRE leads expect fast response, especially investors | Alerts, templates, VA first-response |
-
Q23: How many inbound leads per week can you realistically follow up on personally?Be honest ā 5? 10? 20? This determines whether we optimize for volume or quality, and how much automation we need.
-
Q24: What's your tolerance for "unqualified" leads in exchange for volume?Free valuation forms get more submissions but lower quality. Gated content (requiring more info) gets fewer but more serious inquiries.
-
Q25: How long are you willing to wait before judging the strategy's success?CRE deals take months to close. SEO takes 3-6 months to show results. If we need wins in 30 days, the approach changes significantly.
-
Q26: What percentage of your current business comes from referrals vs. inbound?If it's 90% referrals, digital is additive. If it's 50/50, digital could significantly move the needle. This sets ROI expectations.
-
Q27: Have you tried digital marketing before? What worked or didn't?Past experience (good or bad) helps us avoid repeating mistakes and build on what's worked.
