Real estate marketing in Mumbai is different from almost any other category: the ticket size is high, the buying cycle is long, and a single site visit can matter more than a thousand clicks. This is a realistic, month-by-month view of how a lead-generation campaign for a residential project typically develops.
The Funnel We Plan Around
We plan backwards from site visits and bookings, not from clicks. If the sales team can close roughly one booking from every 12–15 site visits, and about one in four qualified leads visits the site, the lead volume needed becomes a simple calculation rather than a guess.
Month-by-Month Plan
| Month | Focus | Main Channels | What We Watch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Foundation & testing | Project landing page, Google Search, Meta lead forms | Cost per lead, lead quality calls |
| Month 2 | Qualify & optimize | Negative keywords, WhatsApp follow-up, retargeting | Lead-to-site-visit rate |
| Month 3 | Scale what works | Performance Max, YouTube walkthrough, local SEO | Cost per site visit |
| Month 4+ | Sustain & compound | SEO content, Google Business Profile, CRM nurture | Cost per booking |
How Cost Per Lead Typically Improves
What Usually Goes Wrong
- Counting leads instead of site visits. Cheap leads that never visit are expensive.
- Slow follow-up. A lead called after two days is already cold; WhatsApp within minutes performs far better.
- One landing page for every audience. Investors, end-users and NRIs respond to different messages.
- Ignoring broker and channel-partner flow. Digital and partner leads need one CRM, not two spreadsheets.
What to Ask Your Agency
Ask for cost per site visit, not just per lead. Ask how leads reach your sales team, how quickly, and how quality is fed back into the ads. A good agency is comfortable with all three.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long before a new project sees consistent site visits?
Usually within the first four to eight weeks of a well-run campaign, improving through months two and three.
Is Google Ads or Meta better for real estate?
Both play different roles — Google captures active searchers, Meta builds awareness and generates form leads. Most projects use both.
Do I need a separate website for each project?
A dedicated landing page converts better than a corporate site because it can focus on one offer.
