01

The
problem.

Solara Homes, a residential property developer in the South East, was running Google and Meta ads through a generalist agency. Cost-per-lead sat at £74 — but the quality was poor. Their sales team estimated fewer than 1 in 10 leads were genuine buyers, creating enormous friction and wasted time.

What we
did.

A structured programme starting with measurement, followed by acquisition, then conversion optimisation.

01
Tracking & attribution setup

Built offline conversion tracking connecting campaign clicks to booked viewings and completions — giving the sales team and marketing a shared source of truth for the first time.

Foundation
02
Lead scoring model

Implemented a qualification layer in the CRM that scored leads on budget, timeline, and buyer status. This separated serious buyers from browsers and reduced sales team wasted effort by over 60%.

Insight
03
Meta campaign rebuild

Rebuilt Meta campaigns using lookalike audiences modelled on past completions (not just enquiries) and introduced pre-qualification landing pages with gating questions before the lead form.

Execution
04
Local SEO programme

Built city-level content and technical SEO targeting high-intent buyer searches. Optimised Google Business Profile across all locations for local pack visibility.

Organic
05
Offline conversion tracking

Pushed viewings, offers, and reservation events back to Meta and Google as offline conversions — enabling campaigns to optimise for genuine buyer intent signals rather than form fills.
