Solutions

Implemented Clear and Action-Driven CTAs
We used persuasive call-to-actions such as “Book an inspection,” “Schedule a viewing,” “Chat now to reserve a slot,” and “Request a test drive” to prompt immediate user engagement and appointment setting.

Optimized Audience Targeting
By leveraging custom and lookalike audiences, as well as retargeting website visitors and interested prospects, we ensured our ads reached users actively exploring property options or vehicle purchases.

Utilized High-Converting Ad Formats
We deployed Facebook’s Click-to-Messenger and Message Objective ads, allowing prospects to instantly open a chat and inquire about property/vehicle availability, inspections, and appointments, without leaving the platform.

Crafted Personalized Copy and Visuals
Our creatives were tailored to include urgency-driven and value-focused copy such as “Limited units left,” “Schedule a free site visit today,” or “Chat now to secure this car at a discounted price,” capturing attention and prompting fast action.

Focused on Mobile-First Design
Recognizing that most users interact via mobile, we designed mobile-optimized creatives and placements to deliver a smooth, engaging experience that encourages quick decision-making.

Integrated Quick Response Mechanisms
We implemented chatbot automation and live-agent support with prompt replies to common queries (e.g., “Where is the property located?” or “What documents are required for purchase?”) helping users move smoothly from inquiry to appointment.

Page Engagement (BEFORE)
While visibility improved, genuine engagement and quality leads were lacking, and the budget was excessively high (a year duration). That’s when we stepped in with our strategy, delivering the results below with a significantly leaner spend (next advertisement year).
