Your paid budget isn't working as hard as it should.
42,000 SMBs in Glasgow spend £2,100/month on digital ads. Most see poor returns. Your property business doesn't have to be one of them.
📍 Glasgow Market Insight: Glasgow's real estate market is dominated by property portals—Rightmove, Zoopla, and SpareRoom—making organic visibility nearly impossible without strategy. Your competitors are bidding against each other on the same generic keywords, inflating cost-per-lead across Google Ads and Facebook. The businesses winning are those running location-specific paid campaigns targeting Merchant City and West End buyers with intent-driven messaging, not spray-and-pray visibility plays.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Glasgow's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your ads get clicks but few genuine enquiries.”
You're bidding on broad keywords without intent filters or location precision. Your landing pages don't match your ad copy, so clicks drop off before conversion.
Wasting 40–60% of monthly ad spend on tire-kickers and unqualified clicks (£840–£1,260 per month for the average Glasgow agent).
“You're invisible on Google locally, but property portals rank for everything.”
Portals have domain authority and backlinks. Paid ads should complement organic, but most real estate businesses use neither strategy—they abandon one for the other.
Missing out on 35–45% of qualified local searches. Over a year, that's potential revenue of £18,000–£28,000 per agent.
“Your social media presence exists but drives no leads.”
Posting listings isn't a strategy. Without audience building, retargeting sequences, and intent-based creative, social becomes a digital brochure, not a sales channel.
Spending time and budget on content that generates 0.3–0.8 leads per month, when optimised campaigns deliver 4–7.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Strategy
Week 1–2We analyse your current paid campaigns, property listings, and competitor spend across Google Ads and Facebook. We map your buyer journey for Glasgow postcodes and identify where budget is leaking. This audit reveals your specific inefficiencies—whether it's keyword choice, landing page mismatch, or audience targeting.

Campaign Restructure
Week 3–5We rebuild your Google Ads and Facebook campaigns with intent-based keyword groups, location-specific bid strategies, and dynamic creative for different property types. We set up conversion tracking to measure actual enquiries and viewings, not just clicks. Every pound is allocated to high-intent searches and warm audiences.

Landing Page Optimisation
Week 4–6Generic landing pages kill conversion. We create property-specific and location-specific landing pages for Merchant City, West End, and other key Glasgow districts. Each page matches your ad copy, loads fast, and has a single clear action (book viewing, download brochure, or enquiry form).
3–5 optimised landing pages with conversion-focused design and copy
Audience & Retargeting Setup
Week 5–7We build custom audiences of warm leads (site visitors, past viewers, enquiry-formers) and cold audiences based on income, location, and property interest. We create retargeting sequences across Google Display, Facebook, and Instagram to keep your properties front-of-mind as buyers research.
Active audience segments and multi-touch retargeting campaigns
Monitor, Optimise & Scale
Week 8+ (ongoing)Weekly performance reviews. We track cost per enquiry, conversion rate, and ROAS by campaign. We pause underperformers, increase budgets to winners, and test new creative and messaging. By week 8–12, we've optimised away waste and found your most profitable channels and audiences.
Weekly performance dashboard and optimisation recommendations
After 12 weeks, you'll have cleaned-up campaigns running on your best-performing channels with qualified leads arriving consistently. Most clients see 35–50% reduction in cost per enquiry and 2–3x improvement in overall ROAS within the first quarter.
Glasgow Real Estate Success Stories
A Glasgow-based boutique estate agency with 8 agents covering Merchant City and the West End.
Spending £2,800/month on Google Ads and Facebook but getting 6–8 enquiries per month at £350–£470 each. Competitors seemed to own local search. No tracking of which ads led to actual viewings or sales.
- →Restructured Google Ads into 12 intent-based campaigns by property type (flats, townhouses, new builds) and postcode cluster (G1, G3, G5).
- →Built location-specific landing pages for each postcode and property type, reducing bounce rate from 58% to 31%.
- →Implemented conversion tracking across all channels; set up Facebook retargeting to warm site visitors and past enquirers.
“Within the first month, the cost per enquiry dropped noticeably. By month three, we were getting nearly twice as many serious viewings. The breakdown by postcode showed us exactly where to focus—we'd been wasting money on suburbs with no intent. Omakaase didn't just run ads; they taught us how to think about our budget.”
A property developer in Glasgow building mixed-use residential in Finnieston, launching 120 units over 18 months.
Needed to fill 18 months of sales pipeline quickly before launch. No paid advertising experience in-house. Competing against established agents and other new-build schemes. Budget of £3,200/month to drive viewings and off-plan reservations.
- →Launched Google Ads targeting high-intent keywords (new flats Glasgow, apartments Finnieston, off-plan homes) and competitor brand terms.
- →Created video ads on YouTube and Facebook showing CGI walkthroughs and lifestyle content, retargeting site visitors and property portal browsers.
- →Built email nurture sequences for every lead captured; used SMS reminders for viewing appointments to reduce no-shows.
“We had no idea how to sell off-plan units without a massive sales team. Omakaase's data-driven approach meant we could see exactly which ads and audiences were creating genuine buyers, not just curious clicks. The ROI was undeniable—we've kept them on and expanded the budget. Every new development we launch, we're using the same playbook.”
