Why Should Your Estate Agency Invest in PPC?

Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, using Google Ads, allows your estate agency to appear right at the top of the search results, above the map pack and organic listings, when potential clients are searching for services like yours.

This isn’t passive exposure — it’s active intent. You’re capturing high-value users at the moment they’re looking to book a valuation, find a letting agent, or view a property in your area.

Unlike SEO, which takes time to build, Google Ads delivers immediate visibility and lets you target specific keywords, locations, and even times of day. And unlike traditional marketing, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad — giving you control over your budget and measurable results from day one.

How we help Estate Agents drive enquiries with PPC

Our approach has been refined over years of working with agencies like yours, combining deep PPC expertise with real insight into how people search for property services. Here’s how we do it:

Immediate visibility for high-intent searches
We target keywords that sellers and landlords are actively typing into Google — putting your agency in front of them at exactly the right moment.

Hyper-local targeting and campaign structure
We build campaigns around your core areas, tailoring ad groups by location, service type, and user intent. No wasted clicks. No irrelevant leads.

Conversion-optimised landing pages
It’s not just about the click — it’s about the enquiry. We ensure every visitor lands on a page designed to convert, not confuse.

Ongoing optimisation, not set-and-forget
We constantly refine bids, keywords, ad copy and targeting based on what’s performing — and pause or adjust what isn’t.

Transparent reporting you can actually understand
We break down your results clearly: leads, clicks, costs and conversions — not vanity metrics. You’ll always know what’s working and why.

Are we a good fit to work together?

“Before Superb Digital got involved, we had around 8,500 visitors a year to our website. The first year that then increased to 47,000, and now we’re more towards 60,000. What became really clear very quickly was an attitude of, ‘Yeah, we can do that.’ Every time I asked about changes or improvements, it was always met with enthusiasm – not obstacles. That to me was really positive and exciting.”

Understanding PPC Mechanics

How do Google Ads work?
FAQs

Google Ads is a pay-per-click (PPC) platform that lets your agency appear at the very top of Google search results — above the organic listings and map pack.

When someone types a relevant search term like “estate agent in [your area]” or “get a house valuation,” your ad is entered into an auction with others targeting similar phrases. Google decides which ads to show based on a mix of your bid amount, the quality of your ad, and how relevant your landing page is.

You only pay when someone clicks on your ad, not every time it appears. This means your budget goes toward actual engagement, not just impressions.

The real power of Google Ads is that it lets you capture high-intent leads right at the moment they’re actively looking to move, sell, or let. No waiting, no hoping,  just instant visibility.

What keywords should estate agents target?
FAQs

Choosing the right keywords is the backbone of a successful Google Ads campaign.

For estate agents, this means focusing on high-intent searches that signal someone is ready to act, not just browse. These might include:

  • “Estate agent in [Town/Area]”
  • “Free house valuation [Location]”
  • “Letting agent near me”
  • “Sell my house in [Suburb]”

We also look at variations based on service type (sales, lettings, management), intent (“book a valuation”), and long-tail keywords that may have lower volume but higher conversion potential.

The goal isn’t just to drive traffic, it’s to attract the right kind of traffic. That’s why our keyword strategy is grounded in both data and property market knowledge.

How does location targeting work in Google Ads?
FAQs

Estate agency businesses are inherently local and Google Ads lets you be laser-focused with where your ads appear.

We can target your campaigns by:

  • Specific towns or cities
  • Postcodes or postcode ranges
  • Radius targeting (e.g. 5 miles around your office)
  • Custom-drawn service areas

This means you’re not wasting budget showing ads to people outside your patch. Instead, your ads will appear to users searching in or for your local area — giving you the best shot at turning a click into a valuation, viewing, or instruction.

We also structure campaigns to reflect your branch locations, coverage areas, or local specialisms — allowing us to track performance on a per-location basis and optimise accordingly.

What makes a good estate agency landing page?
FAQs

Clicks are one thing, but they mean nothing without enquiries. That’s why the page your ad leads to matters just as much as the ad itself.

A high-performing estate agency landing page should:

  • Be fast, mobile-friendly, and clearly branded
  • Highlight your core value proposition (e.g. “Sell your home in 30 days”)
  • Include trust signals like client reviews, accreditations, and awards
  • Feature clear calls to action (e.g. “Book a Free Valuation”)
  • Use location or service-specific messaging to match the ad

Where needed, we can create or help improve landing pages to boost conversion rates, ensuring you’re not just paying for traffic, but turning it into real leads.

How do you measure success with PPC?
FAQs

With Google Ads, everything is trackable and that’s one of its biggest strengths.

We measure success using metrics like:

  • Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
  • Cost-per-lead (CPL)
  • Click-through rate (CTR)
  • Conversion rate (e.g. enquiry form submissions)
  • Total enquiries or valuation bookings generated

We use conversion tracking tools, like Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, to monitor every important action on your site. If someone calls, fills in a valuation form, or clicks to get in touch, we can attribute that back to the campaign.

This data feeds into ongoing optimisation. If one ad group or landing page is outperforming the others, we lean into it. If something’s underperforming, we refine it. It’s all about maximising results and return on spend.

How much should estate agents spend on Google Ads?
FAQs

There’s no one-size-fits-all budget, but the good news is Google Ads can work effectively even with modest monthly spend, especially when campaigns are tightly targeted.

Budget is fully flexible. You can scale up when it’s working well, pause if your pipeline is full, or dial it down in slower seasons. We’ll always advise on the most efficient use of your spend, making sure you’re not just spending more, but spending smarter.
