Traffic campaigns work great for smaller audience groups under 50K, while larger groups benefit from conversion-focused ads. This targeted approach saves real estate pros over 10 hours weekly on marketing tasks.

Target warm audiences for higher conversion rates

Warm audiences bring gold to your real estate business. These people already know your brand through past interactions on social media or your website. The data shows a striking 29% boost in conversions when you focus ads on these engaged viewers.

Smart agents build multiple custom audiences based on 90, 60, 30, and 14-day engagement windows to test what works best.

Facebook and Instagram users who’ve clicked, liked, or commented on your posts make perfect targets for property ads. They’ve shown interest in real estate content, so they’re more likely to take action.

Meta’s tracking tools help spot these engaged fans across both platforms. The best part? You’ll spend less money on ads while getting better results from people who already care about your content.

Retargeting ads track your social media fans who have shown interest in your posts or website. Facebook and Instagram’s smart tools let you create ads that pop up in these engaged users’ feeds, showing them properties they’ve already viewed or similar listings they might like.

Facebook and Instagram track how users interact with your real estate content. Your past 180 days of social media engagement creates a goldmine of data for targeted ads. Set up custom audiences based on people who’ve liked, shared, or commented on your property listings.

The Meta Pixel helps you reach these engaged users with ads that match their interests.

Your ad budget needs to match your audience size. We recommend spending $15-20 daily for audiences under 50,000 people and $20-40 daily for larger groups. Use Automatic Placements to show your ads where they’ll perform best.
