Manchester property agents waste £400/month on untargeted ads
Stop competing on property portals. We help Manchester real estate businesses reach qualified buyers first through precision paid marketing.
📍 Manchester Market Insight: Manchester's real estate market is crowded—Rightmove and Zoopla dominate visibility, leaving independent agents invisible. The city's 75,000 SMBs average £2,800/month on digital marketing, but most real estate businesses scatter spend across channels with no location-based strategy. Paid marketing done right captures high-intent buyers actively searching for Manchester properties—before portals do.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Manchester's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your ads show to everyone in Manchester, but only 8% visit your site and fewer book viewings”
Broad audience targeting and lack of property-type segmentation means spend leaks to unqualified clickers
£2,240/year wasted on tire-kickers (at avg £2,800/mo spend, 20% waste = £560/mo)
“You rank second on Zoopla and Rightmove but can't compete with their organic traffic”
No location-based paid search strategy to capture 'properties for sale in Northern Quarter' before portal aggregators
Missing 40–50% of qualified intent-based traffic worth £180–£350 per lead
“Your Instagram and Facebook posts get 12–18 likes but no qualified inquiries”
Organic social reach is capped; paid amplification isn't tied to property inventory or buyer personas
30–45% lower inquiry volume vs. competitors with paid social strategy; £1,400–£2,100/mo opportunity cost
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 Your Market Position
Week 1–2We analyse your current paid spend, competitor landscape, and Manchester-specific search demand. We map where your budget leaks—broad keywords, wrong audiences, untargeted platforms—and identify high-intent gaps competitors miss.
Paid Marketing Audit Report (20–30 pages) with spend breakdown, competitor benchmarks, and quick wins
Define Buyer Segments & Keywords
Week 2–3We segment your audience: first-time buyers, investors, downsizers, corporate relocations. For each, we identify high-intent keywords ('3-bed semi Manchester' vs. 'properties near Spinningfields') and property-type intent signals Google Ads and Meta miss.
Keyword strategy doc, audience personas, and intent mapping aligned to your property inventory
Build & Launch Targeted Campaigns
Week 3–4We launch precision campaigns on Google Ads (location search), Meta (lookalike + retargeting), and LinkedIn (commercial). Each ad links to property-specific landing pages, not generic homepages. Real-time bid adjustments optimise for qualified clicks, not volume.
Live campaigns (Google, Meta, LinkedIn) with property-specific creatives, landing pages, and conversion tracking
Optimise for Lead Quality & Cost
Week 4–8We monitor daily: pause underperforming keywords, adjust bids by property type and geography, test ad copy variants, and refine audience exclusions. Within 4 weeks, you'll see cost-per-lead drop 30–45% while inquiry volume stays flat or grows.
Weekly performance reports, weekly strategy calls, and fortnightly optimisation recommendations
Scale Winners, Reinvest Savings
Week 8+Once cost-per-lead stabilises, we scale high-performing property types, geographies, and audiences. Budget that dropped in cost-per-lead gets reinvested to grow overall lead volume by 20–35% without raising total spend.
Quarterly strategy reviews, scaled campaign roadmap, and predictive ROI forecasts
After 12 weeks, you'll generate 35–50% more qualified leads at 30–45% lower cost-per-lead. By month 6, your paid marketing ROI will be measurable: every pound of ad spend returns £3–£5 in pipeline value.
Manchester Real Estate Success Stories
A 12-agent independent real estate firm in Spinningfields, Manchester, managing £85M annual sales volume
Spending £3,200/mo across Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram but generating only 8–12 qualified viewings/week. Cost-per-viewing was £95–£140. Organic Zoopla/Rightmove traffic dominated, but paid ads weren't converting.
- →Segmented audiences by buyer type (first-time, investor, corporate) and property price band; paused broad keywords costing £8–£15/click with <2% conversion
- →Built property-specific landing pages with virtual tours, neighbourhood guides, and mortgage calculators tied to each Google Ads campaign
- →Implemented conversion tracking for viewings booked (not just form fills) and optimised bids weekly by property type and geography
“We thought we had a traffic problem. Turns out we had a targeting problem. Omakaase showed us we were paying £15/click for people who'd never buy. Six months in, our cost-per-viewing dropped almost in half and we're selling properties faster. The ROI is undeniable.”
A boutique commercial real estate brokerage in the Northern Quarter, Manchester, focused on office and retail space leasing
Weak LinkedIn and Google presence competing against national firms. Monthly ad spend was £1,800 with no tracking of qualified inquiries. LinkedIn ads attracted looky-loos; Google Ads were too generic ('office space Manchester'). No understanding of which channels drove actual lease negotiations.
- →Switched from awareness-focused LinkedIn campaigns to lead-gen focused: built custom intent audiences (CFOs, facility managers, corporate expansion teams) and tested LinkedIn ads + retargeting against property-specific Google Ads
- →Created vertical-specific landing pages: 'office suites in Northern Quarter' vs. 'retail space Manchester'—each linked to floor plans, virtual tours, and lease rate calculators
- →Implemented CRM integration to track ad touchpoints → inquiry → site visit → lease signed; revealed which channels drove actual ROI
“We couldn't prove our ads worked because we weren't tracking the full journey. Omakaase connected our ads to actual lease deals. Now we know exactly what we're paying per qualified lead and we can confidently scale. This is the accountability we needed.”
