Google Ad Call-to-Action Copy
Concessions are key during peak season in property management. To hit occupancy goals, offering leasing specials are ideal to attract residents in a competitive market and drive conversions.

To attract residents for apartment communities, our paid media strategy included pinning “Call for Current Specials” to headline three in the Google ad copy in an effort to stay current with frequently changing leasing specials and offerings to entice future residents to take action and call the property.
Including this pinned call-to-action (CTA) would in turn increase call volume, as future residents would be interested in learning more about the property’s current specials. Our team tested the ad copy across 20 different properties in the Midwest and Southeast Regions; Minnesota, Illinois, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina respectively, from April – June 2023 where the average monthly budget was $4,000.
