The leads this unlocked
Our work brought the client high-value inquiries from people actively looking for custom home builds, ADU additions and large-scale renovations. Three stand out.
Lead one, expanding a home and adding an ADU. Scope: ADU construction and home expansion. Inquiry date: October 10, 2024. Potential value: $500,000 to $1,000,000. Projects like this involve extensive planning, permitting and high-end craftsmanship, and this one showed the long-term value of the SEO strategy.
Lead two, a full home rebuild for a multi-unit development. Scope: ground-up construction of two custom homes. Inquiry date: November 23, 2024. Potential value: $3 million. A property owner in the Cambrian neighbourhood wanted a turnkey solution for two custom homes on an existing lot.
Lead three, owner’s representative for a luxury new build. Scope: consultation and oversight for a custom home. Inquiry date: October 15, 2024. Potential value: $3 to $5 million. Owner’s representative services require extensive oversight and coordination with architects, designers and contractors. At a fee structure of 5 to 10%, that is roughly $150,000 to $500,000 to our client.
These leads are a glimpse of the opportunities the strategy unlocked. By refining brand positioning and building SEO-driven lead generation, we connected our client with homeowners ready to invest in large-scale custom projects. That does not just drive traffic. It translates into real business growth.
