92,000 Amsterdam real estate SMBs rely on outdated social strategies.
You're competing against property portals with zero organic community. We build your social presence to convert locals into buyers.
📍 Amsterdam Market Insight: Amsterdam's real estate market is dominated by centralized property portals—Funda, Immoweb, and Pararius—which have trained buyers to search there first. Your individual social media presence is invisible, inconsistent, and generating zero qualified leads. Meanwhile, your competitors in Zuidas and the Grachtengordel are beginning to build direct communities on Instagram and LinkedIn. The agency spending €4,500/month on digital marketing typically allocates just 15–20% to social, and even less to community-driven content. This gap is your opportunity.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Amsterdam's real estate sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your Instagram shows beautiful properties, but no one engages or inquires.”
You're posting listings, not community. Buyers follow you for inspiration, not to transact. Your captions lack neighbourhood stories, buyer personas, or calls to action.
1.2% average engagement vs. 6–9% for optimized accounts. Lost 40–60 qualified inquiries per month.
“Funda and Immoweb dominate your local search results. You're invisible below the fold.”
Property portals have 15+ years of SEO authority. Your social content is not connected to location-based keyword strategy. No cross-platform content amplification.
Zero organic lead flow from local searches. 70–80% of your lead budget goes to paid ads to overcome portal dominance.
“You post when you remember. No strategy, no calendar, no consistency.”
No dedicated content planning process. You're juggling sales, showings, and admin. Social is an afterthought, not a lead channel.
Followers fade 15–25% quarterly. Algorithms suppress sporadic accounts. You lose €8,000–€15,000 in annual organic reach.
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.
Amsterdam Market Audit
Week 1–2We analyze your current social presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google Business. We map your competitor landscape (both agencies and portals) and identify your unique selling position in Zuidas, Grachtengordel, or your target neighbourhoods. We assess your digital maturity score and benchmark your engagement against Amsterdam real estate peers.
Confidential 15-page audit report with competitor teardowns, opportunity gaps, and a customized 90-day roadmap.
Community-First Strategy Build
Week 2–3We define your content pillars: neighbourhood stories, buyer education, agent personality, and investment insights. We create a 12-week editorial calendar tailored to Amsterdam property cycles (Q2 spring market, Q4 year-end investor interest). We develop audience segments (first-time buyers, investors, expats relocating to Amsterdam) with bespoke messaging for each.
Content strategy deck, editorial calendar, audience personas, and sample captions.
Content Production Sprint
Week 3–6We produce 40–50 pieces of content over 4 weeks: property reels with neighbourhood context, behind-the-scenes agent stories, buyer testimonials, market insights, and location guides. Each piece is optimized for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok (if applicable). We create a content library to reduce your production burden by 80%.
Pre-scheduled content calendar (12 weeks), video assets, carousel decks, and caption templates.
Launch & Community Activation
Week 6–12We publish your content on a consistent schedule (5–7x/week across platforms). We engage with your audience daily: responding to comments, following target followers, and nurturing inquiries in DMs. We run micro-campaigns to test messaging and drive early momentum (€500–€1,200/month paid budget).
Live, scheduled content feed. Weekly engagement reports. Lead tracking dashboard.
Optimize & Scale
Week 12–13We analyze 12-week performance data: which content drives inquiries, which neighbourhoods resonate, which audience segments convert fastest. We refine messaging, double down on winning formats, and scale paid investment to high-performing content. We document ROI by lead source and cost per acquisition.
Performance report, optimized strategy, scaling recommendations, and renewed 12-week calendar.
After 12 weeks, you'll own a proven social media engine that generates 8–15 qualified property inquiries per month (vs. your current 2–4), establishes you as a trusted authority in your neighbourhood, and reduces your cost per lead by 35–45%. Your community grows organically, your brand becomes visible above the property portals, and you can confidently allocate 20–25% of your digital budget to social—knowing it's driving measurable sales.
Amsterdam Real Estate Success Stories
A 7-agent boutique real estate firm based in the Grachtengordel specializing in canal-side properties and luxury renovations.
Strong sales team, weak digital presence. Instagram had 800 followers, 0.8% engagement. Funda was their only visible sales channel. They were losing luxury buyer inquiries to competitors with better social proof.
- →Built a 'Canal Living' content pillar: cinematic property tours, neighbourhood history, interior design trends, and local dining/culture to attract affluent buyers.
- →Created an agent personality campaign: behind-the-scenes content showing the team's expertise, client testimonials, and market insights via LinkedIn Stories and Reels.
- →Executed a 6-week paid retargeting campaign (€600/month) targeting high-net-worth expats relocating to Amsterdam, with custom landing pages by neighbourhood.
“We thought Instagram was for showing off pretty pictures. But our strategy turned it into a genuine sales channel. We're now closing deals with buyers who found us on social first, visited Funda second. Our cost per lead dropped 40%, and our luxury segment is thriving.”
A mid-sized residential real estate agency with 12 agents across Amsterdam South (Zuidas, De Pijp, Oud-West) experiencing stagnant growth.
Posting inconsistently (1–2x/week), no engagement strategy, LinkedIn completely unused. Agents worked independently with no brand consistency. Client acquisition cost was rising (€210/lead) while market comps showed top performers at €95/lead.
- →Centralized brand voice: Built a unified content strategy across all agents, with weekly themes (Monday: Market Insight, Wednesday: Neighbourhood Deep Dive, Friday: Sold Property Testimonial).
- →LinkedIn B2B strategy: Positioned the agency leadership as thought leaders, sharing market data, investment trends, and relocation insights for corporate HR teams and investor audiences.
- →Community DM funnels: Set up automated first-response templates and lead qualification flows, training agents to nurture DM conversations into 15-minute consultations.
“We were bleeding money on Google Ads. The team didn't trust social because it felt unprofessional. Six months in, social is our most efficient channel, and agents love the system. We're reinvesting savings back into content and now seeing compound growth.”
