Our Paid Advertising Process
Every campaign is built around your business goals, combining strategy, creative production and continuous optimisation to generate high-quality buyer and seller enquiries.
1. Discovery & Strategy
Every campaign starts with understanding your business, your local market and your objectives. We take the time to learn what makes your agency different, who your ideal customers are and whether your priority is generating valuations, buyer enquiries, landlord leads or promoting specific properties. We then develop a tailored advertising strategy designed to achieve measurable results.
2. Creative Planning & Shoot Day
Great advertising starts with great creative. We'll organise a dedicated content shoot with your team to capture professional photography and video that showcases your people, properties and brand. Whether it's office footage, agent introductions, property walkthroughs or lifestyle content, we'll create a library of high-quality assets designed to perform across Meta and other advertising platforms.
3. Campaign Setup
Once the creative is ready, we'll build your campaigns across Meta Ads, creating the right audiences, campaign structure and tracking to ensure every pound of your advertising budget is working effectively. From location targeting and audience segmentation to conversion tracking and lead forms, every element is configured to maximise performance from day one.
4. Launch & Optimisation
Once your campaigns are live, we closely monitor performance to understand what's driving results. We continuously test audiences, creative, messaging and campaign settings, making data-led improvements that reduce costs, improve lead quality and increase your return on investment over time.
5. Weekly Reporting
You'll receive a clear weekly performance report showing exactly how your campaigns are performing. We provide insights into advertising spend, enquiries, cost per lead and the changes we've made, so you always understand what's working, what could be improved and the results your investment is delivering.
6. Scale for Growth
As your campaigns become more successful, we help you scale sustainably. Whether that's increasing budgets, expanding into new locations, launching additional campaigns or introducing Google Ads and LinkedIn advertising, we'll continue refining your strategy to generate even more qualified enquiries while maintaining profitability.
