How long does it take to see results from PPC campaigns?

PPC campaigns need time to gather data and optimize. Expect 2–4 weeks to begin seeing leads, but consistent results typically take 4–6 months.

What's a realistic budget for PPC as a real estate investor?

We recommend starting with $4,000–$10,000 per month in ad spend. A general rule is to divide your average deal spread by 4 to estimate a monthly budget capable of producing approximately one deal per month.

How long does SEO take to work for real estate investors?

We recommend committing to at least 12 months of SEO. Growth may begin around month 3, but strong and sustainable lead flow typically takes 12 months or more.

Can SEO work alongside my PPC campaigns?

Yes. PPC drives immediate leads while SEO builds long-term organic visibility. Together they dominate search results and create a balanced lead pipeline.

Do I need a new website for real estate investing?

No. We can use your existing website. We also offer website builds if you do not currently have one.

Do Facebook ads work for finding motivated sellers?

Yes. Our clients currently see a 3–4X return on ad spend from Facebook campaigns.

Which service should I start with?

We recommend scheduling a free consultation to evaluate your market size, goals, and marketing budget. Often a combination of channels produces the best results.
