Why Digital Ads Still Matter for Real Estate
Real estate is built on relationships, but getting new clients to notice you starts online. Facebook and Google remain the two most powerful platforms for real estate advertising because that’s where buyers and sellers spend their time.
Facebook Ads help you reach people dreaming about their next home.
Google Ads connect you with active buyers searching terms like “homes for sale near me.”
The challenge? Most agents waste ad spend on campaigns that aren’t optimized. That’s where ClickBase makes a difference by simplifying ad creation and making it easier to launch strategic, AI-powered campaigns.

How Real Estate Ads Work in 2025
Successful advertising is not about showing your listings to everyone — it’s about reaching the right people at the right moment.
Facebook Ads
Great for building awareness, promoting new listings, and retargeting audiences with photos, videos, and carousels.
Google Ads
Ideal for capturing intent from people searching for homes, agents, or local real estate services.
Together, these platforms form a complete funnel:
- Facebook generates interest.
- Google captures action.
The Most Common Mistakes Agents Make
Before launching smarter campaigns, avoid these common pitfalls:
Targeting too broadly
If your ads target “everyone,” you end up reaching no one. Focus on specific neighbourhoods and demographics.
Using generic copy
Ads that sound like every other agent get ignored. Localized, personal copy performs better.
Sending traffic to your homepage
Always send clicks to a targeted landing page. Homepages do not convert as well.
