Yes, Facebook ads have gotten more frustrating for real estate agents since the advent of Special Ads Categories. But that doesn’t mean that lead generation on Facebook is dead. It just means that you have to work a little harder to find your audience and get them to convert.
Shayne Hillier and Matt Cramer are the Cofounders of the Real Estate Marketing & Conversion Academy, a training program that helps real estate agents master the art of digital marketing. Shayne has extensive experience in technology and marketing, while Matt has a background as an agent specializing in lead generation. Together, they have invested $1M in Facebook ads to generate 250K leads for their real estate agent clients.
On this episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude podcast, Shayne and Matt join me to discuss how Special Ad Categories changed Facebook lead gen for agents, explaining how it requires agents to put out better content (and more of it) and why a follow-up system is more crucial than ever. They offer insight on creating offer videos and educational content, sharing the most common objection Facebook leads have to opting in with an agent—and how to overcome it. Listen in for advice on how much you should invest in Facebook ads and learn how to convert the leads you generate through the site!
