This week on The Home Builder Digital Marketing Podcast, Shawn McGuire of Celebrity Homes Omaha joins Greg and Kevin to discuss why home builders must create a stellar home buyer experience, especially in the current housing market. ➡️Home builders need to be ready and willing to adapt to home buyers’ needs, especially when market conditions demand it. Shawn says, “One thing builders have to learn is we have to learn to change. Our consumers, our buyers are constantly changing. And in today's environment when buyers are paying more for their new home, when they're investing more for their new home, when their monthly payments might be higher than ever before, and when their down payment is substantially higher, that's the first thing you have to recognize.” While there will always be market fluctuations, home builders must ensure their home buyer journey is always superior. Shawn explains, “In today's environment, you have got to create a phenomenal buyer's experience. It's a must, and let me tell you why. Because a lot of times what you'll have during the buyer experience is maybe during that buyer experience, interest rates go up. Maybe during that buyer experience, the lumber prices go up. The days of having a roller coaster up and down of a prospect or a buyer, those days are still there, but you've got to minimize those ups and downs.” Home buyers must trust that their builder will give them outstanding service and products during the complete home buying experience. Shawn says, “The consumer, the prospect, and the buyer, they really do deserve a huge, huge, phenomenal service and opportunity as you're going through the building process. They need to know that they're being taken care of that the builder, if not the builder, the builder's representative, they're certainly taking care of them during the entire process much more than ever before.” Listen to this week’s episode to learn more about preserving an excellent home buyer journey in today’s housing market. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/evqxhu-y

This week on The Home Builder Digital Marketing Podcast, Joel Berner of Realtor.com joins Greg and Kevin to discuss how examining current economics can help home builders understand new construction market conditions. ➡️A balancing effect in the housing market is beginning after the unprecedented environment a few years ago. Joel says, “…we absolutely experienced a large market shock a couple of years ago, and everything has just been sort of rebounding from that and trying to get back to a place of balance. So, it's not that we're seeing a fundamental decline in the housing market in terms of true demand. We actually see a large gap in the number of households that are forming every year and the number of new homes that are being built and the number of homes that are coming onto the market. So, there's definitely an opportunity for this to become more robust and to match people to homes. But at the moment, really what we're seeing is just a return to kind of more stable conditions.”   In these new conditions, home builder digital marketers should focus on helping home buyers understand that they can buy a new construction home. Joel explains, “The challenge I think of marketing new homes is that people, in many places, don't expect to be able to afford a brand new home. But the reality is that with the inventory challenges we've seen in the existing home market, there's a gap for this kind of product. There's a gap for a smaller home, a more affordable home, that hasn't really been met by the existing home market.” The choices for new home ownership are increasing and that is good news for home builders and home buyers. Joel says, “So, I think we're going to see that this is becoming a reality for buyers that maybe wasn't before. There's more options that are affordable, more options that are smaller. We're going to see a lot of excitement and a lot of juice in the market as we continue to go forward.” Listen to this week’s episode to learn about how studying the present economy can help home builders know where, what, and when to build. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/ehETAFXs

This week on The Home Builder Digital Marketing Podcast, Christopher Brown, MIRM, CSP of NEXT Group of Companies joins Greg and Kevin to discuss how and why home builder digital marketers should build emotional connections with home buyers earlier in the home buying journey. ➡️Home builders often incorrectly build the home and then try to acquire the buyer. The more productive process would start with connecting with the home buyer first and then building the home. Chris says, “…the biggest difficulty that we consistently have is the build it and they will come...we inherit land deals, and we inherit product, and then we go find the buyer. That is such a mistake constantly. Even to this day, builders make that mistake. They either inherit a piece of dirt and they pull a piece of product off the shelf and go, this will work on this piece of dirt, and then we go find a buyer to fit the product instead of the other way around.” If marketers can create a relationship with buyers earlier in the home buying journey, it is more efficient and cost-effective for the home builder. Chris explains, “…the home is an emotional thing. And that's where marketing kicks in and they build this emotional connection. And if we can start that emotional connection at the dirt, not at the finish, there's a better opportunity…And if we can come in before we start the dirt, then we can make the entire project that much easier, and you can save money on the overall production of the house…you can actually spend less money on marketing if you start the marketing conversation earlier.” Home builder digital marketers can build an emotional connection with prospective buyers by communicating a story and by being genuine. Chris says, “Storytelling is key. Authenticity is key. How do you put authenticity into a home? We're one of the last handmade things. We get to make things with a hand. That's one of the things that is not done anywhere, but we as an industry don't tell that story. What a cool story to tell.” Listen to this week’s episode to learn how home builder digital marketers can build relationships with home buyers. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/eUNktvSe

Want to Outperform 99% of Your Competitors in Home Improvement Lead Gen Ads? (My $67M Lead-Gen Blueprint) If you’re running lead-gen ads on Google or Meta for your home improvement services—whether it’s roofing, HVAC, or renovations—the 3 most critical factors that can make or break your success are: 1. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: 🔑 Your offer is EVERYTHING (and most of your competition has no clue). Generic discounts and free consultations won’t cut it. You need a super compelling offer that stands out. A winning template: “We’ll [solve specific problem] in X days with [address another pain point], guaranteed—or you don’t pay!” Keep it clear, specific, and time-sensitive. 2. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: 🔧 Your landing page is your silent sales powerhouse. Make it laser-focused, packed with urgency, fast-loading, and designed around a strong offer. Highlight your audience’s pain points, showcase benefits, and stack testimonials. This is the single most critical aspect of your landing page’s performance. Pro Tip: Have a dedicated landing page for each service you offer. Don’t send traffic to your homepage or general service pages. 3. 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬: 📹 Video is king in Meta Ads. The best-performing videos are engaging, authentic, and tailored to your audience. Use real customer testimonials, before-and-after shots, and highlight why 1000s of [your target audience] choose [your business name]. Pair audience-centric visuals with a compelling voiceover or text overlay, and watch the $$$ roll in. Nail these 3 elements, and you’ll be lightyears ahead of 99% of your competition. 💯 Which part do you think home improvement businesses struggle with the most: the offer, landing pages, or creatives? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 P.S. If you need help optimizing any of these elements in your lead-gen ads funnel, I’m offering a FREE audit to 5 businesses this month. Reach out if you’re interested.

Here's how I get Engagement in my Real Estate ADS. You have the perfect property. But your ads? No response. It’s frustrating, right? You're posting ads and hearing nothing back. Here’s the truth— Your ads might be missing the mark. Plain photos and boring text just won’t do. An agent from Canada I know had a great property. But her ads? No clicks, no calls, nothing. What was the issue? Her ads didn’t stand out. She got me to consult her... (Rest is the dream...) She decided to switch things up. She focused on making her ads more engaging. First, ↳ she changed the photos. Out went the basic shots. In came beautiful, eye-catching images. Each photo showed off something special— → The cozy living room, → the huge backyard, → the sleek kitchen. Next, ↳ she updated her words. Instead of just listing features, she told a story. She made people feel like they were already living there. The WORDS? “Imagine relaxing by this fireplace after a long day.” “Picture your kids running around in this backyard.” Suddenly, the engagement shot up. Likes, comments, and messages started rolling in. Here’s what you can do: 1. Use Amazing Photos: Show off the best parts of the property. People scroll fast, so grab their attention with great visuals. 2. Write Simple, Emotional Text: Help them picture their life in the home. Talk about what they’ll love, not just the facts. 3. Invite Them to Engage: Ask them questions. Make them feel like part of the story. Low engagement doesn’t mean failure. It means it’s time to tweak your approach. • Better photos. • Better words. • Better results. Trust me, you'll make your ads impossible to ignore. ♻️ Repost to help someone who needs to hear this today. ________________________________________________ I made a Premium Marketing Playbook for RE Professionals. 📌 To get that Marketing Playbook : 1.

3 Marketing Myths Home Improvement Companies Should Ignore When it comes to growing a home improvement business, there’s no shortage of advice out there. But not all advice is good advice. In fact, some common marketing myths could be holding you back from reaching your full potential. Let’s bust three of the biggest misconceptions we hear all the time: 🚫 Myth #1: “Facebook ads don’t work for my business.” Reality: Facebook ads work exceptionally well—if they’re done right. With Facebook’s targeting capabilities, you can reach homeowners in your local area who are already interested in services like concrete coatings or exterior upgrades. The key is crafting ads that resonate: 1. Highlight benefits like durability or one-day installs. 2. Use high-quality photos of your work (before-and-after shots are gold!). 3. Include a compelling call-to-action, like “Get a free estimate today!” The truth is, Facebook ads are a game-changer for home improvement companies when paired with the right strategy. 🚫 Myth #2: “I need thousands of followers to succeed online.” Reality: While having a big following looks impressive, it’s not the end-all-be-all for your business. What matters more is engaging with the right audience. A small, highly targeted audience of local homeowners will always outperform a massive following of people outside your service area. Focus on: 1. Building trust through consistent, valuable posts. 2. Engaging with comments and messages to show you’re responsive. 3. Running targeted ad campaigns to reach people ready to buy. Remember: Quality > quantity when it comes to your online presence. 🚫 Myth #3: “Leads from ads aren’t serious buyers.” Reality: Some leads may be just starting their research, but many are ready to make a decision. The key is knowing how to nurture those leads effectively. Respond quickly, provide clear and professional communication, and follow up consistently. With the right approach, you can turn even the most skeptical lead into a satisfied customer. ✨ Why This Matters: Falling for these myths could be costing your business leads, sales, and growth. At Powrful, we’ve helped home improvement companies debunk these misconceptions and see real results through smarter marketing strategies. 💬 Think digital marketing won’t work for you?
