The challenge

Tony Guthrie and Alfred Schofield had a lot going for them when they launched their team in early 2024. Guthrie brought over a decade of experience selling in the Cape Cod market. Schofield added deep technical and SEO expertise. What they needed was a partner who could manage the branding and technical transition seamlessly.

The strategy

  • Ran a hyperlocal SEO strategy combining Schofield’s technical skills, Guthrie’s local knowledge, and Luxury Presence’s expert SEO guidance
  • Built a tiered keyword structure — starting with niche terms, then expanding into more competitive search territory
  • Published consistent blog content focused on luxury trends, market insights, and the needs of Cape Cod buyers and sellers
  • Launched personalized, one-click property websites to visually differentiate listings from the MLS and Zillow
  • Leveraged audience data to drive smarter advertising, prospecting, and lead nurturing

The impact

Schofield noted that Luxury Presence’s holistic approach boosted every part of the sales funnel. “We’re incredibly excited about the momentum we’ve had,” he said. “It’s increased the lifetime value of our current customers, and then also enabled us to bring new people into the funnel. We’ll have a strong lifetime value not only in this year, but in years ahead.”

Luxury Presence’s platform also fuels smarter lead generation, with nuanced data and built-in tools that help the team deliver more timely, relevant client experiences.

“When people visit our site, we’re able to get a wide variety of demographics that help us better serve our target market, and the back-end platform also has a robust suite of tools, similar to a CRM platform, that really enable us to track the clientele and offer them targeted advice at the right time.”

The platform’s storytelling tools have also made a measurable impact — one blog post led to a multimillion-dollar sale, and single-property sites help bring generational homes to life for high-net-worth buyers and sellers alike.

“This highlights the value of creating thoughtful, SEO-driven content,” Schofield said. “The ability to craft storytelling-focused property websites has consistently set us apart, [helping] affluent buyers emotionally connect with the properties while elevating the overall client experience.”
