“We tried to do a lot of it ourselves, and we hired companies that were local thinking that it would be better to have a local company do it rather than a larger organization from outside of our market. And we were wrong.”
— Lisa Kirkpatrick, director of marketing, The Denise Ramey Team
The challenge
Team leader Denise Ramey likes to keep her sales associates busy with plenty of leads. But Zillow’s price tag was becoming unsustainable. “Denise was spending over $10,000 a month on these leads,” Lisa Kirkpatrick, Ramey’s director of marketing, recalled. “It’s just a lot of money.”
The Long & Foster team tried other online lead sources, but none of them had the same traffic volume as Zillow. They even tried to generate organic leads via search-engine optimization, hiring a local SEO team to manage ads in the hopes that their specific expertise in Charlottesville, Virginia, would pay off. “They were great, but they just didn’t have the sophistication and the time and the resources” that Luxury Presence has, Kirkpatrick said.
The strategy
The team realized that in order to move its budget away from Zillow, they needed both a first-class website and an expert strategy to leverage it. “Online presence is mission critical,” Kirkpatrick said. “It’s well worth the investment.”
Luxury Presence’s bespoke campaign for The Denise Ramey Team:
- Target 22 keywords across six locations with Google Ads
- Secure high-intent seller leads through home valuation offers
- Create a steady stream of blog content about Charlottesville to boost high-funnel traffic
- Convert interest into action with community guides that highlight authority and expertise
The impact
“We have had a wonderful experience with Luxury Presence,” Kirkpatrick said. “Everybody we’ve dealt with there has been wonderful, professional, easy to work with.”
