Ruhl&Ruhl Realtor's website, RuhlHomes.com, was ranked the fifth top performing residential real estate website in the country for 2013. REAL Trends, a communications and consulting company considered to be the leading source of analysis and information on the residential brokerage and housing industry, completed the rankings based on 12 different categories, which include:
  • Average Pages Per Visit
  • Average Bounce Rate
  • Average Time on Site
  • Overall Percentage of Search Traffic
  • Percentage of Mobile Traffic
  • Mobile Traffic Time on Site
  • Social Presence Rank
  • Search Engine Ranking Placements
  • Page Load Performance Times
  • User Behavior Engagement Times
  • User Page Depth Percentage
  • Design and Usability
"We feel these 12 metrics accurately portray the overall performance of each site, not only how well each site is search engine optimized, but whether or not consumers are receiving and consuming the content they want," wrote Travis Saxton, REAL Trends Marketing and Technology Manager. The ranking is part of the REAL Trends 2013 Online Performance Study, which outlines marketing and technology trends in the real estate industry. Participants provided REAL Trends with access to their company's Google Analytics and data was also collected from 3rd party companies, like mobile developers and technology companies. Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors launched their new site in May of this year, giving the public access to search for real estate in 29 counties across eastern Iowa, western Illinois and southwest Wisconsin. This complete redesign added new features like allowing consumers to find information on properties that have recently sold in their areas and providing access to new reports so they can identify real estate trends in their neighborhood. "We are thrilled with this recognition," said Caroline Ruhl, President of Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors. "We set out to develop an easy to use website for the public that would give them the tools and resources to find the real estate information they seek. This recognition is just icing on the cake." Other companies ranked included: 1) Park Company Realtors, Fargo, ND; 2) Coldwell Banker Rick Canup Realtors, Lubbock, TX; 3) Blanchard and Calhoun, Augusta, GA; 4) RealtyUSA, New York, NY. The full 2013 Online Performance Study is available online at RealTrends.com. A family-owned company since 1862, Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors has grown to 301 sales associates, 58 employees and twelve offices, selling more than 5,000 homes in eastern Iowa, western Illinois and southwest Wisconsin. The company has residential sales offices in Bettendorf, Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Clinton, Davenport, DeWitt, Dubuque, Iowa City, Maquoketa, Muscatine, and Washington, Iowa; and in Moline, Illinois. In addition to residential sales, the company offers services in relocation, property management, real estate investments, new home sales, land development, farm and land sales, senior services, home vendor services, insurance services through the Nelson Brothers Agency and mortgage services through Ruhl Mortgage.
