Having realized the fact that in spite of receiving more traffic from mobile through their mobile-friendly website mobile conversions for Cthouse was lagging behind that of desktop, the real estate brand set a goal of converting more of its mobile traffic to leads & sales.Reaching the right people with the right properties
Cthouse could make out that for enticing people to book a viewing in a cost effective way i.e. keeping its cost per conversion low at the same time, they had to reach the right consumer with the right properties offering the relevant choices. With the help of the carousel ads, the brand could display photos of 3–5 discounted properties in the same ad and boosted the click-throughs eventually by presenting the consumers with more options. The team also made use of the link ads for driving website traffic that included calls to action like “Find Out More” and “Contact Us”. Products used:- Adverts
