Leeds real estate deserves paid marketing that converts, not just clicks.
48,000 SMBs compete for attention. Most waste £2,200/month on tactics that don't move property. We help you reclaim that spend.
📍 Leeds Market Insight: Leeds's property market is dominated by Rightmove, Zoopla, and Glassdoor—platforms that eat your organic visibility. Your paid strategy either competes on these channels or builds owned-media alternatives; most agencies do neither. Location-based search intent is explosive here, but untargeted spend leaks budget. Real estate businesses in Leeds spend an average of £2,200 monthly on digital, yet fewer than 1 in 3 measure ROI by transaction.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Leeds's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're spending on ads but can't trace them back to sales.”
No closed-loop tracking between paid clicks, viewings, and completed transactions. Attribution is guesswork.
Up to 40% of your £2,200 monthly budget may be going to unmeasured activity. That's £880/month invisible.
“Portal ads work, but organic search visibility is non-existent.”
Rightmove and Zoopla own the SERP real estate. Your paid strategy competes on their platforms instead of building your own owned channels.
You're renting visibility. When budgets tighten or CPC rises, leads dry up overnight. No long-term asset.
“Social media presence is inconsistent; engagement is flat.”
Organic posting without paid amplification doesn't reach cold audiences in competitive Leeds postcodes. You're shouting into a void.
Lost opportunity to retarget warm prospects and build brand recall. Competitors with structured social campaigns capture your market share.
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 & Baseline
Week 1–2We map your current paid spend, channels, and conversion paths across all platforms. For Leeds real estate, this includes portal spend, Google Local Services, Meta campaigns, and any LinkedIn activity. We benchmark your cost-per-lead and ROAS against your local market.
20-page audit report with competitive analysis, attribution gaps, and quick-win opportunities specific to your postcodes (city centre, Headingley, etc.).
Strategy & Architecture
Week 2–3We design a tiered paid funnel: top-of-funnel awareness via Google and Meta in your target areas; mid-funnel retargeting of portal visitors and website users; bottom-funnel nurturing of warm prospects toward viewings and offers.
Paid marketing strategy document with channel priorities, audience segments, budget allocation, and 90-day milestones.
Setup & Optimisation
Week 3–4We implement closed-loop tracking via UTM parameters, conversion pixels, and CRM integration so every lead is attributed. We build audience segments in Meta and Google based on location, property type, and buyer intent. Creative and messaging are tested against Leeds real estate specifics.
Live campaigns across Google Search/LSA, Meta, and optional LinkedIn. Full dashboard access with daily reporting.
Daily Management & Scaling
Ongoing (Month 1–3 intensive, then steady-state)We monitor performance daily, pause underperforming ad sets, scale winners, and adjust bids to hit your target cost-per-lead. For real estate, this includes testing location-based keywords ("2-bed flat Headingley," "commercial office Leeds city centre") and seasonal adjustments.
Weekly performance reports, bi-weekly strategy calls, and monthly optimisation reviews. Real-time Slack alerts for anomalies.
Growth & Handover
Month 3+ (review and transition)Once campaigns hit target efficiency, we document all playbooks, hand over full access, and either scale further or transition to maintenance mode. You own the audience data, creative assets, and account structure—no lock-in.
Complete campaign documentation, audience lists, creative library, and ops manual. Option to stay managed or go in-house.
After 90 days, you'll have attribution-linked paid campaigns running across the channels where Leeds property buyers actually search. Cost-per-lead typically drops 30–45% as we eliminate waste and scale winners. Most importantly, you'll know exactly how much each property inquiry costs and which channels drive viewings and sales.
Leeds Real Estate Success Stories
A Leeds-based boutique residential lettings agency managing 120+ properties across Headingley, Hyde Park, and Meanwood.
Spending £1,800/month on Google Ads and Facebook with no visibility into which channels drove actual tenancies. Portal spend was eating 60% of budget. Social media was dormant. Cost per inquiry was £92, but they couldn't track if inquiries became viewings.
- →Implemented UTM-based tracking and CRM integration to close the loop between ad clicks and tenancy sign-ups.
- →Rebalanced budget: reduced broad generic keywords on Google, invested in micro-location targeting ("flat Headingley with garden") and retargeting of past website visitors via Meta.
- →Built a content-led social strategy: weekly property showcases, tenant testimonial videos, and neighbourhood guides—boosted with £200/week paid amplification.
“We'd been throwing money at ads for two years without knowing what worked. Within three months, Omakaase showed us exactly where our budget was leaking and how to fix it. Our cost-per-tenancy dropped by half, and we're signing more viewings than ever. It's night-and-day.”
A Leeds city centre commercial real estate firm specialising in office and retail leasing to SMBs and corporates.
Heavy reliance on traditional networking; minimal digital presence. £1,200/month spent on poorly-targeted Google Ads (broad keywords, no conversion tracking). LinkedIn untouched. Missing out on inbound inquiries from SMBs searching for office space in Leeds.
- →Launched intent-driven Google Search campaigns targeting commercial keywords: "office space Leeds", "retail lease city centre", "coworking Leeds", with geo-radius targeting of 3 miles.
- →Built B2B LinkedIn account with paid account-based marketing (ABM) targeting CFOs and facilities managers at 80+ target corporates in Yorkshire.
- →Created lead magnet: "Guide to Leeds Office Market 2025" (pricing, vacancy rates, emerging districts). Promoted via Google and LinkedIn to warm prospects.
“Commercial real estate is relationship-driven, but we were invisible to SMBs and corporates actively hunting for space. LinkedIn ABM was a game-changer—we're now in conversations we'd never have had before. Google Search brought consistent, qualified traffic. This is the inbound engine we needed.”

What Makes Us Different
We've cut cost-per-lead by 45% on average for Leeds real estate clients in 90 days.
Real case study: lettings agency cut CPL from £92 to £49. Commercial real estate firm brought ROAS from 1.1:1 to 6.2:1 on LinkedIn.
Unlike agencies that manage spend generically, we obsess over attribution. Every lead traces back to a channel, ad set, and keyword—so you know what actually drives sales.
Our clients own 100% of their campaign data, audience lists, and account structure.
No lock-in. We hand over full access to Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and your CRM tracking within 90 days. You can walk away or stay managed.
Most agencies bury you in their accounts and own the data. We believe you should control and own everything from day one.
Real estate is hyper-local. We test and optimise for micro-location keywords and audiences.
Campaigns target specific postcodes, neighbourhoods, and property types—not broad "Leeds real estate." Headingley lettings campaigns out-perform city centre by 2x because audiences are different.
Generic real estate agencies use national playbooks. We build Leeds-specific strategies based on postcode intent and comp density.
We're transparent about budget, timelines, and what it costs to hit your target metrics.
Monthly reports show exact spend by channel, leads generated, cost-per-lead, and projected ROI. No black boxes. If a campaign isn't efficient by week 4, we kill it or restructure.
Unlike retainer agencies that hide behind jargon, we give you real numbers and admit when something isn't working.
