Case Study — Performance Marketing
how I made

Miami Real
Estate Case

I turned a high-ticket property advertiser from a lead factory into a buyer-qualification machine — and hit a 10,000% ROAS on attributed sales.

The Client

A premium property advertiser selling to the world

A real-estate company selling premium residences, off-plan developments, investment units and luxury villas in Miami to a global audience — investors, expats, HNW individuals and relocation buyers.

  • Premium residential & off-plan developments
  • Luxury apartments, villas & investment units
  • Relocation & consultation-based property support

Every dollar of ad spend had to move a six-figure asset — so cheap clicks were never the goal.

The Problem
a $10 lead can be the most expensive one

Cheap leads were not the goal

A $10 lead with no budget is more expensive than a $100 lead who can actually buy a $600,000 property. The growth problem was never lead volume — it was quality, qualification and sales-readiness.

The funnel was attracting too much noise

High lead volume, but inconsistent quality
Too much focus on cost-per-lead
Weak separation between buyer segments
No clear qualification system
Generic landing pages for every audience
Poor tracking from lead all the way to sale
The Goal & Strategy

Not more leads.
Better buyers.

The brief was to build a full-funnel international acquisition system — one that attracts serious buyers, qualifies budget and timeline, separates investors from relocation buyers, and connects every campaign to real CRM movement.

The Channels

Every channel had a job

Six paid sources, each mapped to a different buyer logic — and each contributing a different slice of the qualified pipeline.

Bing — premium, high-quality search demand0%
Share of qualified pipeline by source.
Google Ads
High-intent capture

Search captured buyers already looking — "buy property in Miami", "off-plan properties", "villas for sale". The warmest leads at the lowest cost after launching the top-5 campaigns.

Bing Ads
Premium demand

Added as a premium source: older, higher-income users, business audiences and desktop investors. Lower volume, but strong quality — expanded to 4 new campaigns after launch.

Meta Ads
Volume & testing

Drove volume, retargeting and rapid creative testing across investment benefits, community lifestyle, luxury visuals and buyer guides — scaling whatever resonated.

LinkedIn
High-value buyers

Reached founders, executives, business owners and corporate decision-makers with consultative offers — a high-trust entry point for high-ticket buyers.

not all keywords were equal

We split search intent into four groups — each with its own landing page and CTA.

High intent

"buy apartment in Miami", "Miami property for sale"

Investment intent

"Miami property investment", "rental yield Miami"

Luxury intent

"branded residences Miami", "luxury villas Miami"

Research intent

"how to buy property in Miami as a foreigner"

The Creative
we tested motivations, not just visuals

The same property, five buying stories

Investors, relocation buyers, waterfront dreamers and discreet HNW clients don't respond to the same page. Each angle got its own landing page, headline, offer and CTA — so the right story met the right buyer.

marante.co / private-inventory — 45 landing pages tested
Five tested landing-page angles for the same property
Tested angles — Private access · Global relocation · Waterfront intention · Considered neighborhoods · Confidential consultation.
Editorial estate landing page — a house on La Gorce
Featured angle — the estate story

One home, told like an edition

The highest-intent buyers got a slow, editorial single-estate page — architecture, provenance, frontage, disposition — presented by appointment. Fewer clicks, but the warmest conversations.

  • Budget ranges, purchase timeline & investment goal
  • WhatsApp / phone / email preference
  • Developer & project trust signals, message match

The Shift

From lead generation to buyer qualification

Before
  • Campaigns optimized for cost-per-lead
  • Buyer segments were mixed together
  • Landing pages were too generic
  • Sales had to manually filter leads
  • Platforms couldn't see real sales progress
After
  • Campaigns optimized for serious buyers
  • Audiences segmented by motivation
  • 45+ landing pages matched to intent
  • CRM lead scoring prioritized buyers
  • Offline conversions informed optimization
the one line that matters

High-ticket real estate doesn't need more leads. It needs better buyers.

Premium performance marketing depends on much more than traffic. The winning system connected paid media, audience segmentation, country-specific messaging, intent-matched landing pages, CRM qualification, sales feedback and long-term nurturing — marketing with proof, not noise.
