Google Ads for Property Developers

Google Ads for property developers changes with each stage of sales, from building a waiting list before launch to selling the final flats, so no campaign stays the same for long.

The last flats are often the hardest to sell, such as a ground floor by the road, so late adverts describe them honestly instead of selling the brand.

Online challenges for property developers

Results get distorted when research, comparison and people genuinely ready to talk are treated as the same stage.

Off-plan sales and finished homes need separate paths

Buyers search differently depending on the stage of the project and how sure they are of their financing.

  • Mixed pages make it harder to tell investors from people buying a home to live in, and serve neither well.
  • A path for each stage brings enquiries that fit better and sales that move faster.

Agencies buy adverts on the name of your development

The name painted on the site fence is searched by the very people most likely to buy, and others can bid for it too.

  • Without a campaign on that name, a visitor may land on an agent's listing instead of your sales office.
  • Searches for rentals, resale flats or jobs with the developer, left unblocked, spend the budget on people who will never buy new.

Google Ads approach for property developers

For property developers, we build Google Ads around the stages of the decision: separate campaigns for people comparing and people ready to talk, and pages that move buyers forward one stage at a time.

Adverts that change with the stage of sales

A development is sold once, from a waiting list to the last flat, and the campaigns have to move through the same stages.

  • Before the price list exists, adverts collect names for the launch list. Once sales open, they speak of the flat types still available and of visits to the sales office.
  • When one type sells out, its adverts stop the same day, so nobody pays for a click that ends on the word sold.

The name on the hoarding, searched and protected

People who pass the building site type the name of the development, and portals and agencies place their own adverts on that name.

  • An advert on your own name costs little and leads to the official project page, with the price list and the sales office hours.
  • We block the searches that never buy a new home: flats to rent, second-hand homes, jobs with the developer, tenders for subcontractors and the building company that happens to share the name.

Buyers abroad in a campaign of their own

Someone buying from another country searches in another language, at another hour, and needs another page.

  • Each country gets its own adverts and a page in its language, with the flats on offer and a slot for a call by video.
  • Calls from these adverts are counted separately from local ones, and the budget of each country is set by the visits and video viewings it produces, not by its clicks.

Google Ads process for property developers

01

Searches worth paying for

We separate the searches that bring customers from those that only cost money.

02

Campaign build

We split the campaigns by service or offer and connect call, form and booking tracking before launch. For developers, we set the campaign calendar from the sales plan and the dates of each price list, so an advert never announces a price before the office can quote it.

03

Landing pages

Each advert opens a page about what it promised, with the way to call or book in view.

04

Tuning

In the first weeks we move the budget towards the searches and adverts that bring enquiries, and switch off the rest.

Price: Google Ads for property developers costs €350 to set up and from €250 a month to manage, for ad budgets up to about €800 a month, plus VAT, three-month minimum. You pay Google directly; larger budgets are quoted.

How we measure results for property developers

We report what each sales office appointment and each reservation cost, with buyers from abroad on a line of their own.

Questions about Google Ads for property developers

Plain answers about Google Ads, written for property developers.

First enquiries can come within days of the start, because the name of the development is searched from the day the hoarding goes up.

  • Tuning the account takes the first weeks: we learn which searches end in a booked visit and which only cost money.
  • A flat is not bought on the day of the click, so we judge the adverts by appointments.

Usually yes.

  • Those clicks tend to be among the cheapest in the account, and without your advert a buyer who typed your name lands on a portal, next to every competing building.
  • Your advert sends that person to the official page with the full price list.
  • Where an agency sells your flats under contract, we agree with it who advertises on the name.

They shrink with the stock of flats.

  • Adverts name only the types still free, the area shown is narrowed to people who can visit soon, and the daily budget falls.
  • If the next development is announced, the remaining budget goes to its waiting list, so interest raised by the first building is not lost.

Access to the price list with the status of every flat, the hours of the sales office and the name of the person who answers the phone.

  • We also need the dates you are ready to state in public, such as the planned handover, and the countries you already sell to.
  • Without the status of flats we cannot stop adverts for what is sold.
