Building Our Real Estate Portfolio
Real estate PPC has a specific failure mode: lots of clicks, lots of “interested” leads, very few actually qualified to buy. We'd rather build a smaller, better-qualified funnel than a bigger, noisier one.
The funnel is deliberately narrower at every step — each stage trades raw volume for buyer intent, because a real-estate campaign is judged on who reaches the site visit, not on how many forms were filled.
Real estate Google Ads campaigns are notorious for generating high lead volume with low actual buyer intent — people browsing project brochures with no real timeline or budget clarity. We approach real estate campaigns the same way we approach every account: tracking that reflects genuine qualification (not just a form fill), and honest reporting about lead quality, not just lead quantity.
We're currently building out our real estate portfolio — no dedicated case study yet. What's below reflects our general approach, applied consistently across every category we work in.
How Property Decisions Actually Happen
A property purchase is the largest decision most households ever make, and the search behaviour shows it: months of browsing, brochure downloads out of curiosity, price checks with no timeline behind them. An ad account optimised for raw lead volume will happily fill the CRM with exactly that traffic — because casual interest is always cheaper to buy than genuine buying intent, and the algorithm follows whatever it's told to count.
Pointing the account at quality instead means changing what gets counted. Enquiry forms that surface timeline and budget signals, campaigns split by project and unit type so intent is visible in the keyword itself, and retargeting that respects the reality that nobody shortlists a home in one session. The sales team's time is the scarcest resource in the funnel — the campaign's job is to protect it.
Channel Scoping
Aggregators put every project side by side — high reach, but the buyer arrives comparing dozens of options and the enquiry is shared with competing sellers.
Captures the buyer searching for a locality, project type or budget range directly — and lands them on your project's own page, where the story and the enquiry belong to you alone.
Most developers need both — but the paid-search funnel is the one you fully control, which is why its tracking and qualification discipline matter so much.
Common Situations
The account is optimised for cost per lead.
Cheap leads skew toward brochure browsers with no timeline — the CRM fills up, the sales team burns hours, and the cost per genuine buyer quietly climbs.
Qualification-focused tracking, so optimisation learns from the leads that turn into conversations and site visits rather than from form-fill volume.
Every ad lands on one generic “enquire now” page.
A 2BHK budget buyer and a villa investor have different questions — one page pitched at neither loses both, and the qualification problem starts at the landing page.
Landing pages per project or unit type, matched to what the ad actually promised.
Campaigns expect the decision on the first click.
Property decisions take months and many touchpoints — judging spend on first-visit enquiries undervalues the campaigns doing the early shortlist work.
Retargeting structured around the real consideration cycle, so the account stays present from first search to site visit without re-paying for the same buyer each time.

Real estate decisions rarely happen on the first visit.

Quality Over Quantity
A real-estate campaign's countable outcome is a qualified enquiry — the purchase it may lead to is decided over months of site visits and negotiations, and reporting never collapses that distance.
The counted conversion is the tracked enquiry the campaign optimises toward — qualification, site visits and the eventual purchase run on the buyer's timeline, reported honestly by quality and never restated as campaign sales.
