What Is A Marketing Plan For A Property Management Company?
Gone are the days of Yellow Pages, TV commercials, billboards, and cold calling – most of the marketing strategies that once worked remarkably for property managers are now almost obsolete. Today, there are very few businesses that can survive without digital marketing. No matter if you are a new property manager or a veteran in the business, you need new clients to grow your business. With more than 150,000 property management companies in the US, digital marketing helps you stand out from other competitors. To do that, it all begins with a marketing plan.
A real estate marketing plan is a component in the business plan, with a goal of outlining the marketing strategy such as action items and desired results. It can consist of industry specific market research, selection of platforms to promote property management services, targeted messaging, and the metrics used to measure the result. Your property management marketing plan should be a living document that is regularly updated as data is gathered on current marketing efforts to reallocate funds towards sources that are the most successful and reduce your bottom line. Here are the essential components for a good marketing plan:
Identifying Target Audience
Clarifying Messages & Goals
Competition & Budget

Best Effective Marketing Channel for Property Managers
Before implementing your marketing strategies, spend some time thinking about your target audience and purpose. You should also think about your goal/s, budget, positioning, and approach. When it comes to the best marketing strategy for property managers, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising is one of the most effective strategies to help you earn a higher return on investment (ROI). Driving quality traffic and sales in a short duration, PPC increases your online visibility and allows you to “own” more of the search engine results page. To make the most out of your PPC campaign, Google Ads is the best choice as it drives $8 for every $1 spent.
Google Ads is the most popular way for property managers to start PPC advertising as they are known for their immediate results they can generate for your company. Since Google’s search engine market share for 2022 in the USA is at 83.09%, it makes sense to advertise on Google as it is where the majority of your potential clients are at.
PPC campaigns can be set up on other channels such as social media platforms like Facebook, but there are many more benefits to using Google as it allows precise targeting of your audience, full control over how much you want to spend per click, is cost effective, and generates quick results. With Google Ads, you are increasing brand awareness, generating leads, and improving conversion rates almost instantaneously.
Here are the basic steps you need to launch your Google Ads campaign.
Signing Up & Setting Goals
Start by getting a Google Ads account, you can do this by signing up for free. Once you have created an account, you can now start to create a campaign. Your campaign begins by setting a campaign goal. It can be to generate leads, improve sales, increase brand awareness, and more.
Networks
Next, you get to choose where your ads will show up. If you select the “Search Network”, your ad will show up on traditional Google searches. For the “Display Network”, you can include text, images, and videos in the ads that will appear on websites that are relevant to your industry.
Campaign Location
Select the locations you want your ads to target such as selecting a specific city or region. You can always go back to change your preferences. For local property management companies, target your local area to avoid wasting your budget on individuals in other regions.
Bid Strategy & Budget
There are multiple bid strategies available. For example, if your goal is to increase website traffic, you want to maximize clicks. This brings you to the average daily budget. Divide what you want to spend per month by 30.4 as this is the average number of days per month. Once you are done, clicking “save and continue” means you have just created your campaign.
Writing Your Ad
Writing your own ad becomes more complex as you need to determine what keywords your target audience will use. Choose keywords that are relevant to your business. When writing your ad, make sure your ad is related to the keywords and write at least two ads per ad group. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
• Headline – Your headline is one of the most impactful elements. Therefore, be descriptive, relevant, and catchy.
• Final URL – This is the URL your ad leads to such as a landing page. Include words related to your chosen keywords.
•Description – Keep this part concise and highlight what sets you apart from your competitors.
•Ad Extensions – These help distinguish you from your competitors. Although there are many types, start by understanding call extension, location extension, and sitelinks.

Other Marketing Channels
Since Google Ads is undoubtedly the best way to leverage your marketing efforts, here are some other marketing channels that can go hand in hand with your Google Ads marketing campaigns once it is properly set up and running successfully:
Search Engine Optimization
Even with great content and excellent services, you will still need to optimize your website for search engines. SEO includes finding relevant keywords for your business, optimizing content using the keywords, and backlinking to your site. It is important to stay up to date with SEO requirements as they change periodically.Besides paid advertising campaigns, producing quality content that is engaging is a great way to make a name for your company online. Great content needs to be paired with SEO to maximize its benefits. A good example would be blog posts that can be used to help get you and your company’s name out there as a reputable and credible brand. It can also be used to improve your website’s SEO (search engine optimization) and have it rank higher in Google search results, allowing more visitors on your website. However, using SEO to rank can take a considerable amount of time, effort, and money. For SEO to be effective, it must be done right using an effective content marketing strategy that would lead to organic mentions and backlinks. However, you should know that it can take a considerable amount of time, effort, and money to use SEO to rank your website, a reason why many opt for paid advertising campaigns in the beginning to bridge the gap until their SEO strategy helps them to rank. Remember that when it comes to your website, ensuring your customers have a good online experience on your site improves confidence and even conversion rates. Since user metrics are very important to Google, this means you should pay attention to how users interact or navigate with your website, the speed your site loads, making sure it is mobile friendly, having original content, and avoiding issues such as broken links.
Local SEO through Google My Business
Having a Google My Business page automatically helps your page to rank within your local businesses. You should include important information that is up to date such as your company name, address, phone number, and property management website. Once available, you can start building business listings on authoritative websites. Focus on getting positive customer reviews as it helps to generate leads. Google My Business also allows you to post content such as photos, blogs, promotions, and relevant information to help you get your content out there. Finally, create a strategy to get customer reviews as it increases your ranking on Google.
Social Media
Almost everyone is on social media nowadays, and that includes your target audience. This means social media marketing is a great option when it comes to improving social media presence, penetrating new markets, and generating leads. Cost effective and efficient, even Google monitors company social media activities, allowing you to improve your company’s online ranking.
Email Marketing
Email marketing is an effective online marketing method that can build trust with your potential clients and catch them at the right time. However, it all depends on your content as it has to capture their attention. The best email marketing strategy is to give your subscribers something of value – such as useful informative blog posts, visually appealing infographics, and industry insight.
