Real estate PPC

Real estate PPC and Google Ads that bring serious buyers and sellers

People search when they are ready to move: for homes in an area, for a valuation, for an agent. We put you in front of those searches and filter out the browsers.

In short: Google Ads for real estate means search and other Google campaigns that reach people looking to buy, sell or rent property in your area. Web Zodiac runs real estate PPC for realtors, brokerages and developers, with separate buyer, seller and project campaigns, housing ad compliance and tracking of leads to appointments.

Do Google Ads work for real estate agents?

Yes, especially for seller leads. Someone searching "what is my home worth" or "best real estate agent in [area]" is close to a decision, and a seller is usually worth more to an agent than a single buyer enquiry. Buyer searches are also valuable but more competitive, because portals bid on them heavily.

What is a PPC lead in real estate?

A PPC lead is an enquiry that came from a pay-per-click ad, such as a Google Ads click that led to a call or form. Unlike leads bought from portals or lead sellers, PPC leads from your own campaigns are exclusive to you, and you can see exactly which search and ad produced them.

How much do Google Ads cost for real estate?

Costs depend on your market and lead type. Buyer searches in big cities are expensive because portals compete for them; seller and niche area searches are often better value. We work from your average commission and conversion rates to set a cost per lead and per appointment that makes sense.

Housing ad rules on Google

In the US and Canada, Google restricts personalised targeting for housing ads, such as by age, gender, parental or marital status and postcode. We use keywords and location targeting that comply, so campaigns run without disapprovals.
