Meta or Google Ads? Which is better for real estate?
Both complement each other but serve different roles. Google Ads captures active search intent (ready-to-buy audiences), while Meta Ads uses visual and video content to build awareness and desire among potential buyers who are not yet actively searching. The highest results come from a combined strategy: Google captures buyers, Meta makes the portfolio branded and desirable.
How is a Meta Ads strategy built for a project launch?
The recommended Meta Ads launch plan has three phases: (1) Pre-launch awareness — video and render visuals introducing the area, project name and concept; (2) Launch phase — lead form ads collecting pre-registrations and information requests; (3) Post-launch phase — remarketing lists retargeting website visitors who did not convert.
How do you run Meta Ads for luxury properties and villas?
For luxury real estate Meta Ads, creative quality trumps everything else. Drone video, professional photography and architectural renders are mandatory. Targeting uses income-based filters, luxury brand interests (premium automotive, premium travel, finance) and look-alike customer lists. Slow-cut editing, understated music and dialogue-free video formats preserve the luxury feel.
What should a property video look like on Meta ads?
The first 3 seconds must be scroll-stoppers: aerial overview, striking architectural detail or city view work best. Ideal video length is 30-60 seconds. Subtitles are not mandatory but remember 85% of users watch without sound. The visual proposition must be visible in every scene; sharp transitions add energy.
Should Meta Ads use lead forms or drive traffic to the website?
Budget-constrained campaigns benefit from lead form ads because they deliver lower CPL — the user never leaves the app. However, lead quality is typically lower than website traffic. For high-budget projects, driving website traffic is recommended to enable conversion tracking optimization and build remarketing audiences for later stages.
