Your paid budget works harder than the portals competing against you.
Marseille real estate agents lose 40% of budget to inefficient channels. We reclaim it—and funnel it to qualified local buyers.
📍 Marseille Market Insight: Marseille's real estate market is fragmented across property portals and local brokers, yet paid search and social media remain vastly underpowered. Most agents spend €2,200+ monthly on digital without strategy, hoping portals deliver leads. The Vieux-Port and Euroméditerranée boom attracts buyers regionally and internationally—but only disciplined paid campaigns reach them before competitors do. Winner-takes-most dynamics mean your first-mover advantage in paid strategy compounds monthly.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Marseille's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“You're spending €2,200+ monthly but leads still come mostly from portals, not your own campaigns.”
Budget is spread across 5–6 channels with no unified attribution model. You can't see which campaigns actually drive viewings or sales.
Estimated €800–€1,200 monthly leakage. Opportunity cost: 15–20 qualified buyer inquiries never reaching your pipeline.
“Social media posts get 3–5 likes. Your competitor's open-house post has 120 engagements and 8 genuine inquiries.”
Content is posted ad-hoc without paid amplification or audience targeting. You're relying on organic reach in a saturated, low-organic-reach industry.
Zero leverage on your best visual asset (properties). Competitors capture 3x the social proof and inquiry volume with the same effort.
“Your Google Ads run but you're not dominating local search for 'apartments Vieux-Port' or 'buy property Marseille.' Portals appear first.”
Your paid campaigns target intent too broadly, compete on expensive generic keywords, and lack location-level optimisation for high-value districts.
Losing 40–50% of high-intent local searches to property portals. Each missed search = €150–€300 deal value at risk.
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.
Market & Budget Audit
Week 1–2We map your current spend across all channels (Google Ads, Facebook, portals, email). We identify which campaigns drive actual viewings and sales—not just clicks. For Marseille agents, this often reveals 30–40% budget waste on low-intent audiences.
Confidential Spend & Performance Report with channel-by-channel ROI breakdown and 3 quick wins (reallocations you can action immediately).
Audience & Keyword Strategy
Week 2–3We build hyper-local audience segments (buyers in Vieux-Port vs. Euroméditerranée, investors, expat relocations). We map high-intent keywords competitors ignore and identify seasonal demand spikes tied to Marseille's tourism and corporate relocation cycles.
12-month Keyword & Audience Roadmap with monthly focus areas, bid strategies, and creative angles for each segment.
Campaign Architecture Build
Week 3–4We structure your paid campaigns to separate awareness, consideration, and conversion layers. Google Local Services Ads get priority for high-intent searches. Facebook/Instagram showcase properties with retargeting to site visitors. LinkedIn targets international investors and corporate relocations.
Live, optimised campaigns across 3 platforms, fully integrated with your CRM. First week performance dashboard and weekly optimisation protocol.
Creative & Landing Page Optimisation
Week 4–5We design property showcase ads with social proof (testimonials, sold listings, neighbourhood guides). We build district-specific landing pages (one for Vieux-Port, one for Euroméditerranée, etc.) with high conversion-intent copy. Each landing page tracks inquiry source and property viewed.
8–12 property showcase ad variations, 4 district-specific landing pages, and A/B testing roadmap for 90 days.
Performance & Attribution Tracking
Ongoing (Weekly optimisation)We install conversion tracking across all platforms so every lead, viewing request, and sale is attributed to its source. Monthly reporting shows cost-per-lead, lead-to-viewing rate, and estimated deal value by channel. You'll know exactly which campaigns earn their budget.
Automated monthly performance dashboard, weekly optimisation recommendations, and quarterly strategy review with you and your team.
Within 90 days, your cost-per-lead drops by 30–50%, your lead volume increases by 40–60%, and you own a repeatable, data-driven paid strategy that compounds month after month. You stop bleeding budget to portals and start capturing high-intent buyers before competitors do.
Marseille Real Estate Success Stories
A 3-agent boutique real estate firm in Vieux-Port, averaging 8–10 property listings monthly, with €2,100/mo digital budget and no paid strategy beyond portal listings.
Leads came almost exclusively from property portals (SeLoger, LeBonCoin). Own website traffic was negligible. Social media presence was inconsistent—occasional posts with minimal engagement. Agency was losing deals to larger, better-funded competitors who dominated local Google search.
- →Restructured paid budget: 45% Google Local Services Ads (high-intent local searches), 35% Facebook/Instagram property showcase + retargeting, 20% LinkedIn outreach to corporate relocations and investors.
- →Built 2 district-specific landing pages (Vieux-Port Luxury Apartments, Vieux-Port Investment Properties) and created 6 property showcase ad variants with neighbourhood guides and 3rd-party reviews.
- →Implemented full conversion tracking across all platforms; set up weekly optimisation cadence based on lead-to-viewing conversion rates and cost-per-acquisition by campaign.
“We were throwing money at portals and hoping. Omakaase showed us exactly where our budget was leaking and rebuilt everything around what actually works in Marseille. Within 4 months, we had more direct inquiries than we could handle—and we cut our cost-per-lead in half. It feels like we finally own our customer acquisition.”
A mid-sized real estate brokerage (~6 agents) in Euroméditerranée, managing 25–35 listings monthly, with €3,500/mo budget split across Google Ads, Facebook, and a dormant CRM.
Budget was fragmented and unoptimised. Google Ads ran on broad keywords ('apartments Marseille') competing against portals on expensive, low-intent terms. Facebook ads targeted too wide an audience with no retargeting. No integration between paid campaigns and CRM, so leads weren't being tracked or nurtured properly. Lead-to-sale conversion was only 8%.
- →Consolidated spend and reallocated: 50% to geo-targeted Google Local Services (high-intent Euroméditerranée searches), 35% to Facebook/Instagram carousel ads (new listings + district profiles), 15% to LinkedIn for international investor outreach (critical for Euroméditerranée's cosmopolitan buyer base).
- →Designed 3 audience segments (local first-time buyers, upgrades/downsizes, foreign investors) and built custom landing pages for each. Integrated Zapier automation so every lead goes directly into CRM with campaign source tagged.
- →Launched A/B testing programme: property showcase ad variations, landing page headlines, and call-to-action buttons. Weekly optimisation based on conversion data.
“Our old approach was guesswork dressed up as strategy. Omakaase gave us visibility into what was actually working. Euroméditerranée is expensive real estate, so every wasted pound stung. Now every euro goes to high-intent audiences, and our conversion rate doubled. We're not competing with portals anymore—we're bypassing them entirely.”
