Community Naming SEO POV - Archstone -- 12/2011
In naming new acquisitions and developments, there is an opportunity to name each unique community in such a way that it has potential benefits from
an SEO perspective. The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations and SEO advice for how to best leverage these naming
opportunities for SEO success with new acquisitions and developments.
Generally speaking, we recommend incorporating the brand “Archstone” into the name of each community. Including “Archstone” will help increase
presence for any branded search queries. For example, many users will search for “Archstone Denver” even if the community is named something
entirely different. Users are more likely to search for “Brand + geo market” as opposed to remembering a specific community name. Therefore,
incorporating the brand into the community name helps solidify the specific community level page in the search rankings.

CHANDLER EXAMPLE
Average monthly search volumes:
Chandler apartments 27100
Fox Crossing apartments 590 (nearby, good connotation?)
All generic terms (google results across the country):
Uptown crossing apartments 0
Uptown village apartments 480
Village crossing apartments 1000
We like Archstone + submarket, obviously.
2nd preference would be Archstone + <name> at <location>
( i.e. Archstone Toscano at West University, Archstone Uptown
Village at Chandler)
