    Background

    Sylhet's real estate market is unique in Bangladesh: a significant portion of buyers are Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRBs) in the UK, USA, and Middle East investing in property back home. Established competitors like Bproperty and local Sylhet portals had 8–12 years of domain history. Sylhet Properties launched in January 2023 with a fresh domain and ambitions to dominate both local and NRB segments.

    What We Found

    • ✕Domain rating 0 - no existing authority, no backlinks, no indexed pages beyond homepage
    • ✕No content strategy - only 5 generic property listing pages with duplicate descriptions
    • ✕Competitors held 400+ keywords in the Sylhet property space - a 10-year content moat
    • ✕Facebook ROAS had dropped from 4.2x to 1.8x over 12 months - rising ad costs, declining returns
    • ✕The NRB property investment segment had very low competition online - major opportunity identified
    • ✕No structured data: RealEstateListing, Place, or LocalBusiness schema absent across the site

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How did you compete with portals that had 10+ years of SEO history?
    By finding the gaps they ignored. Established portals focused on Dhaka; we owned every Sylhet neighbourhood keyword. They ignored NRB buyers; we built the internet's best resource for diaspora property investment. Topical authority in an underserved niche is often more achievable than competing head-on for broad terms.
    What role did Bangla content play?
    Significant. NRB audiences are often bilingual but search in English for investment content. Local Sylhet buyers search in Bangla. Publishing in both languages with unique content (not translated) doubled our keyword coverage and addressed both audiences authentically.
    What is the NRB property investment market size?
    Bangladesh receives approximately $21 billion in remittances annually. An estimated 15–20% of NRB remittances are directed toward property investment, with Sylhet being the top destination city due to its large UK Bangladeshi diaspora. This represents a $3 billion+ annual market largely underserved by digital-first real estate agencies.
    "We started from zero and now rank above Bproperty for several Sylhet-specific terms. Our organic leads now cost 1/8th of what Facebook leads cost us."
