Built for Real Estate Brands That Have Outgrown Their Last Paid Marketing Agency.
The top-producing LA agents aren't spending more on ads — they're structuring campaigns around intent, qualifying leads before paying for them, and using audience data that most brokers ignore entirely.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Los Angeles real estate is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Los Angeles real estate agents spend $847 per qualified lead while competitors in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica spend $156 — on the exact same audience
Los Angeles real estate market generated $392 billion in transaction volume in 2024, with 180,000+ active licensed agents competing for buyer and seller leads. Yet 71% of LA real estate paid campaigns are structured around vanity metrics — cost per lead, impressions, clicks — not qualified leads or actual closings. The agents winning in LA paid media aren't outspending; they're out-qualifying. They're using intent signals (search keywords, page behaviour), lead scoring automation, and follow-up attribution that separates tire-kickers from serious buyers and sellers. Google Ads CPC for real estate in LA has climbed 34% in 24 months to $18–$47 per click depending on neighbourhood and property type — making structural efficiency non-negotiable.
The 3 places Los Angeles real estate brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 real estate brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Campaigns were structurally inefficient: bidding on broad 'real estate Santa Monica' keywords alongside 'buy $5M homes Santa Monica', treating all leads as equal, and using zero lead scoring. No appointment tracking meant no way to know which channels worked.
Segmented campaigns into buyer-intent (property-specific, neighbourhood price searches) and brand-building (agent comparison, market reports) tiers — reducing overall keyword volume by 40% but concentrating spend on actual ready-to-buy signals

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 4–5 months, LA real estate clients typically reduce cost per qualified lead by 55–72% and increase lead-to-appointment conversion by 110–180% — through structural efficiency, not increased budget.
Real Estate Paid Media Audit
We audit your Google Search, Meta Lead Gen, and YouTube campaigns — identifying keyword intent mismatches, budget allocation waste, lead quality gaps, and missing high-intent keywords. Most LA real estate accounts have 12–18 fixable inefficiencies within the first audit.
Lead Qualification & Automation Setup
We implement lead scoring rules in your CRM, automated qualification sequences via email/SMS, and conversion tracking anchored to actual appointments and closings — not just form submissions. Most LA agents track 'leads generated' but not 'qualified leads' or 'leads that mattered'.
Intent-Tiered Campaign Architecture
We rebuild campaigns into intent tiers: high-intent buyer keywords (property-specific, price-range-specific), seller intent (home value, list agent, sell house fast), and neighbourhood brand-building. Each tier gets dedicated landing pages, follow-up sequences, and bid strategies aligned to conversion value.
Lead Experience Optimisation
We optimise lead form friction (fewer fields = higher conversion), landing page property-level specificity (potential buyers want to see the actual house they searched for), and follow-up attribution (you'll see which leads actually convert to appointments). Most LA agents have forms that kill conversions and follow-up sequences that lose deals.
Conversion Scaling & Continuous Attribution
Monthly reporting on qualified lead cost, lead-to-appointment conversion, appointment-to-close attribution, and ROI by keyword intent tier. We tell you exactly which ad spend generates closings, not just leads.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“Finally, an agency that talks about margin, not clicks. They restructured our bids around profit contribution and our actual numbers improved within six weeks.”

“Google Ads was our biggest cost centre. It's now our highest-margin acquisition channel. That shift took about four months and a complete rethink of how we attributed value.”
Lisa W.

“The attribution model they built showed us that 40% of our paid conversions had an organic first-touch. We restructured the whole channel mix based on that one insight.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much should a Los Angeles real estate agent spend on paid ads monthly?
A meaningful paid media programme for LA agents starts at $3,500–$6,000/month ad spend. Below that, you can't gather enough lead data to optimize for actual appointments. Most of our LA agent clients scale to $12k–$25k/month within 6 months as cost per qualified lead improves and they gain confidence in ROI.
Should I focus on buyer leads or seller leads in Los Angeles?
Both serve different roles and have different intent signals. Buyer leads come from property-specific searches and price-range queries; seller leads come from home value searches and 'sell house fast' keywords. Top LA agents allocate roughly 65% of budget to buyer acquisition (higher volume, faster pipeline) and 35% to seller leads (higher deal size, lower volume). The ratio shifts based on your brokerage focus.
How do you track whether a lead actually closes a deal?
We integrate with your CRM and implement deal-outcome tracking — tagging which lead source, keyword, and agent resulted in each closed transaction. This tells you exactly which ad spend generated closings, not just appointments. Most agencies never connect ads to actual revenue; we make it standard.
What's the difference between Meta Lead Gen Ads and Google Search for real estate?
Google Search captures active demand — people typing 'buy house Los Angeles' are ready to move now. Meta Lead Gen Ads build awareness and capture early-stage interest — neighbourhood research, agent comparisons. Google typically converts faster to appointments; Meta costs less per lead but requires more nurturing. Winning LA agents use both, adjusting budget mix based on their current pipeline stage.
Can you target specific LA neighbourhoods like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Westwood separately?
Yes — in fact, it's essential. CPC and lead quality vary dramatically by neighbourhood (Beverly Hills: $45–$67/click; Silver Lake: $14–$22/click). We build neighbourhood-specific campaigns with dedicated budgets and intent tiers, allowing you to scale spend in high-margin neighbourhoods and optimize in price-sensitive areas.
