Challenge

  • Selling Sunset Estate operates in an industry where the purchase decision is long, costly, and based on trust.
  • A client buying property abroad requires multiple brand touchpoints before submitting an inquiry.
  • Users often compare locations, prices, legal processes, and transaction safety, so some of them are not ready to contact the company after their first website visit.
  • Campaigns needed to reach both users actively searching for property in Turkey and those who were only beginning to consider such a purchase.
  • It was important to track different contact paths: form submissions, phone calls, email, Messenger, and WhatsApp.

Solution

  • We created a unified system of Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns aligned with different stages of the decision-making process.
  • Google Ads enabled us to reach users actively searching for apartments and real estate in Turkey.
  • Meta Ads and awareness campaigns strengthened brand recognition and helped maintain contact with users who needed more time before submitting an inquiry.
Selling Sunset Estate × Delante

Since March 2023, we have been supporting Selling Sunset Estate in Google Ads and Meta Ads activities. The goal of the collaboration is to increase brand awareness among Poles living in Poland and abroad, as well as to generate high-quality inquiries from users interested in purchasing real estate on the Turkish Riviera.

From the outset, a key objective of this project was to combine two goals: building awareness and generating leads. In the foreign real estate sector, users often first browse listings, compare locations, return to ad messages, ask questions about safety and legal procedures, and only later decide to contact an agency.

Therefore, the campaigns could not rely solely on direct lead generation. They also had to consistently build brand recognition and trust in Selling Sunset Estate, so that users would know exactly which company to return to when they were ready to discuss a specific property.

About the Client

Selling Sunset Estate is a Polish-Turkish real estate agency specializing in the sale of apartments, villas, and investment properties on the Turkish Riviera. The company serves clients interested in purchasing properties in locations such as Alanya, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Side, Belek, and Antalya.

The agency supports clients in selecting properties, contacting developers or owners, and handling transaction-related formalities. For Poles buying property abroad, safety, trust, and clear communication are particularly important.

From a campaign perspective, this meant that ads had to operate across multiple stages of the decision-making process: from initial interest in Turkey as an investment destination, through comparing locations and offers, to contacting the agency.

Project Execution Flow

1. We combined awareness and performance campaigns

Property purchasing in Turkey is a long decision-making process. That is why the advertising strategy was built on combining lead-generation campaigns with brand awareness activities.

This allowed Selling Sunset Estate to reach both users ready to contact the agency and those who were only starting to explore the Turkish real estate market.

2. In Google Ads, we focused on high-intent users

In Google Ads, we ran campaigns targeting users actively searching for properties in Turkey. The campaigns included keywords related to apartments, flats, and locations on the Turkish Riviera, such as:

  • “apartments in Turkey”
  • “apartment Turkish Riviera”
  • “real estate Alanya”
  • “apartments Turkey”

Search campaigns allowed us to capture users who were already closer to making a decision and actively looking for offers.

3. We strengthened awareness through PMax, Demand Gen, and display banners

In parallel, we ran Performance Max campaigns and awareness activities such as banners and Demand Gen. Their purpose was to increase brand exposure and maintain contact with users interested in buying property abroad.

In this type of industry, users often require multiple touchpoints before submitting an inquiry. Therefore, awareness campaigns supported the entire decision-making journey, not only the first interaction with an ad.

4. We tested multiple contact paths in Meta Ads

In Meta Ads, we ran awareness campaigns and tested different lead generation formats, including:

  • Messenger
  • WhatsApp
  • instant forms
  • website contact form

The highest quality inquiries came from campaigns optimized for website contact form submissions. As a result, this became one of the main pillars of the strategy.

5. We monitored the full contact journey

We tracked not only contact forms but also micro-conversions indicating real user interest:

  • phone number clicks
  • email clicks
  • WhatsApp clicks
  • Messenger contact
  • form submissions

This allowed campaign optimization based on a more complete view of the user journey. In foreign real estate, such micro-conversions are particularly important, as clients often choose the most convenient first contact method.

6. We aligned messaging with customer concerns and motivations

Ad messaging emphasized elements that directly influence the decision to contact an agency:

  • attractive apartment locations
  • sun, sea, nature, and lifestyle on the Turkish Riviera
  • wide range of property types and sizes
  • support with formalities
  • post-purchase assistance
  • Polish–Turkish bilingual support
  • sense of safety in foreign property purchasing

As a result, the campaigns did not only present listings but also addressed questions and concerns that could prevent users from making contact.

Results Achieved

By combining Google Ads and Meta Ads, Selling Sunset Estate can reach users at different stages of the decision-making process: from initial interest in real estate in Turkey to submitting a contact form or clicking one of the direct contact channels.

Conclusions

The Selling Sunset Estate case shows that in the foreign real estate industry, an effective advertising campaign must combine brand awareness building with lead generation.

In high-value decision-making, users need time, multiple touchpoints, and a sense of security. Google Ads allows reaching people actively searching for property in Turkey, while Meta Ads, Demand Gen, and display campaigns help maintain contact with users at earlier stages of the decision-making process.

By combining these channels, Selling Sunset Estate can consistently increase brand recognition and generate valuable leads from Poles interested in purchasing an apartment, house, or investment property on the Turkish Riviera.
