Millions of prospects browse for real estate and new homes on the Google search engine each month. Google™ ads let you reach the potential customers in your exact region, giving your site the highly-qualified and targeted traffic you need.

The Search for a New Home Begins Online

   •  72% of all real estate searches begin online. 1
   •  The pervasiveness of real estate information on the Internet has created a phenomenon in which about 20 million people are browsing home listings each month.2
   •  The Google network reaches 80% of all U.S. internet users.3

 Agents Recognize the Power of Search

   •  Real estate companies have increased their Internet advertising budgets by 83.7% over the past six years.4
   •  A recent study showed that 41% of real estate agents use search marketing now. An additional 33% will begin using the medium in the next twelve months.5

 Superior Return on Investment (ROI)

   •  Precision. With cost-per-click (CPC) advertising, you pay only when a customer actually clicks on your ad.
   •  Accountability. With Google, you can calculate to the penny what it costs to drive traffic to your website, generate qualified leads, facilitate sign ups for a service, or refer business to a local affiliate or franchisee.
   •  Pure Value. The average cost-per-lead for search marketing is just 29 cents, versus the $9.94 average cost-per-lead for direct mail or $1.18 cost-per-lead for the Yellow Pages.6

 Target Your Local Customers

   •  Google can target users by location, allowing you to reach home buyers and sellers specifically within your service area(s).
   •  53% of consumers regularly gather local information online.7
   •  Local commercial searches – those seeking merchants "near my home or work" – represent 25.1% of all searches performed by online shoppers.8
   •  Local consumers with Internet access use search engines 22% more often than printed Yellow Pages.8
