Completely Transforming the Digital Presence of a Real Estate Client
Premium Residential Real Estate | B2C
Executive Summary
We worked with Vida Verde, a real estate company, for approximately two years, from 2023 to 2025. When we started, their online presence was weak and their marketing efforts were not producing consistent results. They wanted more qualified inquiries and better visibility for their property listings.
Our work focused on building a practical digital setup that could bring in real prospects instead of random traffic, which increased the share of inquiries from people with real buying intent. During our collaboration, we improved their advertising structure and online visibility, which reduced wasted spend and led to higher-quality leads and more stable results.
The main challenges were low traffic, no remarketing strategy, high cost per lead, and weak online branding. We set up campaigns across Google Search, YouTube, display remarketing, and Meta/Facebook, with one clear focus: reaching people who were actually looking to buy property, not just browsing online, which reduced irrelevant traffic and improved lead quality.
Over time, this approach changed the situation: traffic increased, advertising costs went down, and a larger share of inquiries came from people with real buying intent instead of random visitors, which made online marketing a reliable source of serious prospects.
About the Client
The client operates in the real estate sector, focusing on residential properties. Their business depends heavily on lead quality, because each inquiry represents a potential buyer or investor, not just a website visitor. Their main goal was simple: attract people who were actively looking to buy property, not just browsing.
The Challenge
When we started working together, the client had three main problems:
- Their website was not generating enough inquiries
- Most traffic was low quality and did not convert
- Advertising campaigns were running without a clear structure
They were spending money, but it was hard to see which campaigns were actually bringing serious buyers.
Our Strategy
We treated this project as a long-term practical collaboration rather than a short marketing campaign.
First, we reviewed their website and tracking setup to make sure we could measure what people were doing—form submissions, calls, and key actions, which removed guesswork from campaign decisions. Then we rebuilt their advertising structure with a focus on buyer intent, which shifted spend from casual browsers to real property seekers:
- On Google, we focused on search campaigns targeting people actively searching for properties, which increased the proportion of inquiries from motivated buyers.
- On YouTube and Meta (Facebook & Instagram), we used simple video and image ads to show properties and build interest, which built familiarity before users reached the inquiry stage.
- We separated campaigns by property type and location so budgets could be controlled more easily, which prevented budget leakage and improved cost control.
Instead of pushing large volumes of traffic, we focused on getting fewer but more serious inquiries, which improved sales efficiency and reduced time wasted on unqualified leads.
The Results
During the period we worked together (2023–2025), the following improvements were achieved:
- Website traffic increased steadily
- The number of qualified inquiries grew compared to the previous setup
- Cost per lead decreased as targeting improved
- Campaigns became easier to control and optimize
- Marketing spend became more predictable
The main result was that online marketing stopped being confusing and started working as a reliable source of inquiries.
Key Takeaways
- In real estate, a few serious inquiries are worth more than a lot of random visitors.
- When campaigns are clearly structured, it becomes much easier to see what works and what doesn’t.
- You need proper tracking before you try to scale anything.
- Targeting people who are actively looking to buy works better than showing ads to everyone.
