How To Build a High-Converting PPC Landing Page For Real Estate PPC Campaigns (7 Elements With The BIGGEST Impact)

You’re spending a hard-earned marketing budget on your PPC campaigns… Every penny counts. More importantly, every click counts. × × Real Estate Investor PPC Report 600+ highest profit motivated seller keywords Download Now The worst thing that can happen is a lot of people click on your PPC ad (costing you money), but none of those people become a lead or turn into cold, hard cash for your business. That would make your PPC campaign a waste of time and money. This is why where you send people (i.e., the landing page) when they click on your ad is so critical. If you send prospects (even motivated sellers) to a low-converting landing page, you might still get some leads, but you won’t get as many as you could (how hard is it to hit the back button and click on your competitor’s website instead?). Sadly, one lost deal could be between $10,000 and $50,000 down the drain, depending on your business model… And that’s not money you’re willing to lose. At Carrot, we’ve generated millions of online leads for real estate investors and agents. During that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about building a high-converting landing page. Let’s talk. What is a landing page for real estate PPC? A landing page is just marketing terminology for the page you send people to in a marketing campaign. In the case of Google Ads, it’s the page people go to when they click on your ad. For example, if I click on this result… The reason that optimizing your landing page is so essential is because it helps determine the effectiveness of your ad campaign. If the page people go to after clicking on your ad is irrelevant, unpersuasive, or even takes too long to load, they won’t stick around and will not become a lead. Here’s a table summarizing the key differences of full webpages vs PPC landing pages: Feature Webpage PPC Landing Page Purpose Informational, brand awareness Lead generation, conversion-focused Target Audience Broader audience interested in real estate Highly targeted audience, e.g., motivated sellers Content Diverse content: bio, services, blog posts Focused on a single offer or call to action (CTA) Navigation Extensive navigation to other website pages Limited or no navigation to avoid distractions Call to Action (CTA) May have various CTAs Strong, clear CTA to capture leads Now that you know what a landing page is and why it’s important, let’s talk about 7 elements of every landing page that impact conversion. 7 Elements You MUST Have for High-Converting PPC Landing Pages to Maximize Lead Generation Element #1: Simple Opt-In Form Every real estate website (agent or investor) at Carrot needs a high-quality, easy-to-fill-out opt-in form. And we don’t just believe that for no reason: it’s science. We’ve run hundreds of A/B tests on our member’s websites to determine whether opt-in forms perform better than a “Call Now” CTA (they do) and what types of forms perform the best. From one test we ran, we found that our member’s sites had almost a 30% conversion rate! Here’s the heatmap from the test… And here’s the data… If you want a high-converting landing page right out of the box, our Carrot sites already have all the elements mentioned in this article baked right in. Or, if you want to build one yourself (no biggie!), here’s what you’ll want for your opt-in form… High-Converting Element #2: Clear & Actionable Content When it comes to capturing motivated sellers, clarity and action are key. Your landing page copy should be clear, concise, and laser-focused on the benefits you offer. Why is clear content important for seller-focused … Continued

What I focus on is really class-A product these days in order to build ground up. Given what things cost you almost have no choice but to focus on class-A product because that’s the only kind of product that will give you the rents that can support the cost of construction. But even before construction costs got out of hand, I very quickly realized that a lot of the suffers is a management headache. 00:00:27:12 – 00:00:44:14 Daniil Kleyman And my focus for a long time has been on the classic product. We build really nice stuff that attracts really nice tenants that commence really high rents and in turn it allows me to build a scalable portfolio. 00:00:48:27 – 00:01:11:23 Brady Winder Friends, welcome back to the Kurt Cass podcast. I’m your host, Brady Winder, and this is a podcast where we help you dial in your online marketing so you could build a business of freedom and impact.

And then we’re going to be talking about multifamily today. So multifamily trends and opportunities for 2023 and what I’ll see in his market, it’s going to be a fun conversation. So real quick, behind the scenes at Carat, it’s been a couple months since we did this. 00:01:49:22 – 00:02:12:10 Brady Winder We skipped last month and as a side know, I’m probably not going to be on the next one or two of these. I’m having a kid at any time now in the next two weeks. Thank you. And so Trevor is going to be coming back on, so you’ll get to hear from Trevor. He’s been away from the podcast for a little bit and he’s going to dive really deep, much deeper into the data with you guys and hopefully Tyler for my co-host will be joining us soon as well. 00:02:13:20 – 00:02:53:07 Brady Winder Anyway, so visitors, what we’re seeing behind the scenes at CARAS in terms of visitors, motivated sellers coming to care sites has been has declined steadily, not a huge drop off but a little bit taper down over the last … Continued

It’s increasingly becoming more and more relevant to things that happened this last year that matters As far as video marketing. One of them, it has become a lot more almost necessary in order to rank high in Google. 00:01:29:09 – 00:01:47:20 Brady Winder So pages that are putting videos on their blog posts and on their pages are much more likely to rank. We don’t have an exact percentage, but anywhere between ten and 100% more likely to rank, depending on the topic, the types of posts. Anyways, the SEO benefits just within the last year with the updates of Google made have come up a lot. 00:01:47:20 – 00:02:15:06 Brady Winder And the other thing is I ran a survey every few months, every six months to a year within our audience on how they like to consume content, what topics they’re interested in. Far and away. 80% of our audience this time around wants to consume content through video. And so we’re seeing the same thing for our members customers. For sellers, video content is just more of a standard right now and less and less. 00:02:15:06 – 00:02:32:00 … Continued

It just looks looks like too much. It’s like, I don’t want to fill out 15 things. It’s going to take me too long. So you can break the form into two or three steps and just ask like the crucial things you need phone number and address. 00:00:17:00 – 00:00:37:00 Motivated Leads Get that up front. Now, you captured that. After they do that, ask all the additional questions. So it looks like it’s easy. And then that second, second step is going to ask like, why do you want to sell?

Why did not work? What was my close ratio on that? And so Mike’s really organized in that way and I like the way that he looks at the math behind marketing. 00:01:41:02 – 00:01:59:08 Brady Winder So that’s what we’re going to talk about is is really math over emotion when it comes to spending your marketing dollars wisely and specifically with SEO and what he’s done with SEO to be effective and why it makes sense versus other marketing channels and a few other things.

EP 394: How This “Virtual Real Estate Agent” Netted $110k on 20 Hrs/week in w/ Chris Bello

About this episode: Is the thought of working 20 hours a week a pipe dream? It’s not for Chris. He’s what you might call a “real estate connector” or a “virtual real estate agent.” By taking his incessant need to optimize through systems & processes and combining it with his love for building relationships with people, he’s managed to build an authentic brand that people love (and makes him a healthy living.) If you’re looking for tactical ways to get back your mental energy & time freedom, this episode is for you. Listen in. Mentioned in this episode: Chris’ Entrepreneur Motivation Podcast Essentialism by Greg McKeown Connect with Chris at ChrisBello.com Calendly.com for automated scheduling Zapier.com for more automation Aweber.com or Mailchimp.com for simple & cheap email solutions Episode Transcript (This is an automated transcript by robot carrots – please mind the typos 😉) 00:00:00:01 – 00:00:18:10 Chris Bello Create a bunch of content, you can only connect the dots. Looking backwards, I think Steve Jobs said that. So you have to create all this content, send all these emails, and then you can look back and see which ones had the highest open rates. Which one had the highest click rates? Why? What did we talk about was the subject line of question, Did I have a compelling offer? 00:00:18:18 – 00:00:37:14 Chris Bello Who’s clicking on these emails? Right. And what are they? What are they? Real estate agent? Are they some random entrepreneur who found my podcast on entrepreneurship? And you can start to kind of test and tweak the messaging and it’s just an experiment and you get a little bit better every single time you put an email out or a piece of content. 00:00:41:11 – 00:00:57:08 Brady Winder Hello, friends. Welcome back to this episode of the Care Cast Podcast. I’m your host, Brady Winder. This is the podcast where we help agents and investors dial in their online marketing so they can build businesses of freedom and impact. This episode is going to be a lot of fun because I have our friend Chris Bello with us on the podcast today. 00:00:57:08 – 00:01:28:04 Brady Winder Hey Chris, we met at Kurt Camp a couple of years ago at our biannual mastermind and he’s taking a really unique approach to real estate. It’s an agent who also does some investing. So you might call him a hybrid, but he’s gotten massive amounts of time freedom back and he’s refers to himself as a virtual realtor. And so what I like about Chris is that you can apply these concepts as an investor or agent, and this is someone who’s wildly diligent about productivity and automation. 00:01:28:04 – 00:01:34:03 Brady Winder And so we’re going to have a good conversation today about how you can get some that time back. And yeah, welcome to the podcast. 00:01:34:03 – 00:01:57:20 Chris Bello Chris Thanks, Brady. It’s awesome to be here and like we connected over at May 20, 20 one’s Carrot Camp. I think I had shared with people there that I was doing things differently. I had just moved to Denver, Colorado, from Texas with my fiancee, and so my business has been working remotely. And so I haven’t really had to get into the Colorado market too much and that’s kind of where we’re at these days. 00:01:57:20 – 00:02:03:18 Chris Bello I’m doing things virtually all from this home office right here through systems, automation and delegation. 00:02:04:11 – 00:02:18:07 Brady Winder I love it, man. So we don’t do clickbait titles … Continued
