SaPuntassa.com
Luxury apartments sold through the website.

In 2019, SaPuntassa.com was practically invisible on Google, and sales ran mostly through brokers. That turned into a partnership of 7 years: relaunch, SEO, Google Ads and social media for a new-build project with luxury apartments on Mallorca. By early 2026 the last apartment was sold, most of them through inquiries from the website.

02 - Situation & measures

From challenge to strategy.

Challenge

When we started in 2019, SaPuntassa.com was practically invisible on Google.

  1. Invisible on Google

    When we started in 2019, the website had never been optimized for search engines. Anyone searching for luxury real estate, penthouses or new-build apartments on Mallorca did not find the project.

  2. Technical errors

    Numerous technical errors prevented good rankings from the outset, before content could have any effect at all.

  3. Strong competition

    The market is dominated by large real estate portals and traditional agents, who rank at the top for search terms like “luxury real estate Mallorca”.

  4. Dependent on agents

    To sell the apartments, the developer relied mainly on agents and brokers and paid agent commissions on the sales. Every brokered sale cut into the margin.

Measures · Checklist
6 / 6 implemented

Over 7 years, the SEO assignment grew into the project's complete online marketing for sales:

  • Website relaunch
    We rebuilt the website from scratch, fixed the technical errors and created a clear structure for residences, penthouses and location.
  • On-page and technical optimization
    We aligned the pages with the search terms around luxury real estate, penthouses and new-build apartments on Mallorca and added guide articles about the island.
  • Targeted link building
    Off-page optimization with backlinks aimed squarely at the most important luxury keywords.
  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile
    We optimized the website for searches with a location, from “Mallorca” down to individual towns in the southwest of the island, and optimized the Google Business Profile.
  • Google Ads
    Search ads for the most important luxury keywords complemented the organic rankings and brought in additional qualified inquiries.
  • Social media campaigns
    Campaigns on social networks made the project known among prospective buyers and strengthened the Sa Puntassa brand.

  1. +280% SEO visibility in 6 months

    From April to October 2023, impressions in Google Search rose from around 500 to more than 1,400 per day, 132,000 impressions in total. The growth continued until June 2024.

  2. Top rankings for luxury keywords

    Position 1 for “Luxusimmobilien Mallorca” and position 2 nationwide for “Luxus Penthaus”, right behind ImmobilienScout24. Of 150 tracked keywords, 31 ranked on the first page, 6 of them in the top 3.

  3. The right audience

    75% of all queries were related to real estate, half of them from the luxury segment. 20% were brand searches, a sign of Sa Puntassa's growing recognition in the market.

  4. Sold through the website, not brokers

    More and more apartments were sold directly through inquiries from the website, mostly from organic search, and only a smaller share through traditional brokers. That saved the developer considerable broker commissions.

04 - Conclusion

SEO as a sales channel for luxury real estate.

SaPuntassa.com shows what SEO can do in the luxury segment: a single new-build project held its own on Google against large real estate portals and established brokers and reached buyers directly. Relaunch, SEO, Google Ads and social media made the website the main sales channel and saved considerable broker commissions.

By early 2026 the last apartment was sold, most of them through inquiries from the website. That ended a 7-year partnership that had started as an SEO project.
