Default Pinehurst Real Estate vs Pinehurst, NC Real Estate

A couple of years ago when selecting keywords I chose to go with Pinehurst NC Real Estate as opposed to Pinehurst Real Estate.

I am not sure that I made the right choice then and now wonder if I could get some opinions on this.

At the time with the research I did it appeared that with the state (NC) added I would be putting myself into the results page with the most relevance, as there are other Pinehursts in the country with sites that sell real estate.

Also back then I seemed to be able to find more information about the number of times a month the 'Pinehurst, NC Real Estate' was used and suggested alternatives. Nothing else seemed to come close ~ even though since then I have found several niche markets to explore.

Now I can't find a site that lets me search for current monthly usage and the information I do find seems to be really dated.

So my delima is to keep pushing the added state in city real estate, or change emphases and replace it with city real estate / Pinehurst Real Estate.

Then I wasn't close to the front in SERP with either but somehow got a lead or two from my site whereas now I get more calls but less email leads.

* I have also wondered if there are also other terms used by buyers that reflect their intentions to actually purchase a property rather then just look?

I'm rethinking everything, made headway in rankings for sure but haven't really gained in viable leads at this time.

As always I appreciate your responses and probably would not have made the gains in SERP without everyone's help and advice.

Thanks

Start with fixing the meta title. Currently you have "Pinehurst NC Real Estate | Listings of homes - building lots and land for sale in the Pinehurst North Carolina real estate market area".

It is too long. Simplify it to something like "Pinehurst NC Real Estate Listings of homes, lots & land for sale".

Use the meta description to your benefit. "Search our listings of homes, building lots and land for sale in the Pinehurst North Carolina real estate market area"
